Abstract
I take this occasion as an opportunity to reflect upon what I have been learning from Richard Goodwin over the last few years since he has been associated with the Institute of Economics in Siena. I am interested in economic dynamics and therefore I will limit myself to say something on this topic though I am well aware that Richard’s interests are much wider and that I could have learned much more. I will expose some reflections that came to my mind when reading again, on a recent occasion, Harrod’s The Trade Cycle and Richard’s papers on the growth cycle and on the multiplier-accelerator models (see Goodwin (1982)).
This paper embodies the remarks I made at the discussion which developed at the workshop. Financial help from the Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione (fondi 60%) is gratefully acknowledged.
