Pseudo, or Not? Neo‐Goodwinian Growth Cycles With Financial Linkages
ABSTRACT A profit‐led Goodwin mechanism generates the observed counterclockwise activity–labor share cycle.

This paper extends neo‐Goodwinian theory by incorporating the valuation ratio into a four‐dimensional model.

Tax Progressivity, Public Debt, and Growth in a Neo‐Kaleckian Model
ABSTRACT We develop a neo‐Kaleckian growth‐and‐distribution model featuring two classes of workers and a progressive income tax. Two fiscal closures are considered: balanced budgets and deficit financing via public debt. We study the responses to shocks, including changes in functional income distribution, and assess how tax progressivity alters demand

Disagreement About Fiscal Policy
ABSTRACT Politicians disagree about fiscal policy. This disagreement should have economic effects beyond the effects of government spending and taxation. We use the full set of speeches in the German Bundestag since 1960 and apply state‐of‐the art natural language processing techniques to construct two series of fiscal disagreement starting in 1970 ...
