Title: Cyclical Growth in a Goodwin-Kalecki-Marx Model
Abstract: This paper presents a Kaleckian growth model that considers elements from Goodwin and Marx. The model has a system of differential equations for the rate of utilization, the profit share, and the rate of employment. We show that cyclical fluctuations occur depending on the sizes of the reserve-army effect and the reserve-army-creation effect. Moreover, we show that if the stable long-run equilibrium corresponds to the profit-led growth regime, an increase in the bargaining power of workers increases the rate of unemployment; on the other hand, if the equilibrium corresponds to the wage-led growth-regime, an increase in the bargaining power of workers decreases the rate of unemployment.
