Résumé Dans cet article, nous proposons un modèle de croissance et de répartition néo-kaleckien. Nous introduisons deux types de dépenses publiques : dépenses gouvernementales de consommation et d'investissement. Nous étudions leurs effets sur le degré d'utilisation d'équilibre des équipements et sur la croissance. Deux cas sont envisages: le cas où la faille du gouvernement est variable; b) le cas où à taille de gouvernement fixe, la composition des dépenses publiques varie. Nos résultats se démarquent de ceux de la nouvelle théorie de la croissance. Quand les équipements sont sous-utilisés, une augmentation de l'investissement public peut réduire le taux de croissance, si celle-ci ne s'accompagne pas d'une augmentation suffisante de la demande. JEL classification : E12, E25, E62, 041

Studies of non-linear cobweb models have failed to address a fundamental issue: whether the complex dynamical behavior displayed by such models is consistent with the survival of producers. This paper shows that where borrowing is unconstrained, as is implicitly assumed in standard cobweb models, borrowing results in financial crises. Incorporating constraints on borrowing is needed to salvage cobweb models. Industry performance (in terms both of profitability and of the incidence of bankruptcies) is highly sensitive to the nature of such credit restrictions.

"Classical Economics, Keynes and Money casts new light on an approach to economic theory and policy that combines the modern classical theory of prices and income distribution with a Keynesian analysis of money and finance. Structured in four parts, the work considers issues within classical economics, monetary economics, Keynesian and post-Keynesian Economics, rationality and economic methodology. These themes are all central to the work of Carlo Panico, and the chapters both reflect on and build on his key contributions to the field. This collection is of interest to advanced students and researchers in the history of economic thought, monetary theory, financial economics and heterodox economics.

This paper provides a non-technical overview of NEG models dealing with policy issues. Considered policy measures include alternative categories of public expenditure, international tax competition, unilateral actions of protection/liberalisation, and trade agreements. The implications of public intervention in two-region NEG models are discussed by unfolding the impact of policy measures on agglomeration/dispersion forces. Results are described in contrast with those obtained in standard non-NEG theoretical models. The high degree of abstraction limits the applicability of NEG models to real world policy issues. We discuss in some detail two extensions of NEG models to reduce this applicability gap: the cases of multi-regional frameworks and firm heterogeneity.
