Corporate Behavior, Valuation Ratio and Macroeconomic Analysis

  • G. Abraham-Frois
Chapter

Abstract

The introduction of the corporate sector into the post-Keynesian theory of distribution has been worked out by Kaldor in an appendix to his 1966 paper, named, for obvious reasons ‘a neo-Pasinetti theorem’. Some reformulations, and precisions will be useful here before coming to comparisons with other approaches or formulations (especially Marris, 1964, 1971; Kahn, 1972; Wood, 1975; Tobin, 1969).
