The multiplier is a central concept in Keynesian and post-Keynesian economics. It is largely what justifies activist full-employment fiscal policy: an increase in fiscal expenditures contributing to multiple rounds of spending, thereby financing itself. Yet, while a copingstone of post-Keynesian theory, it is not universally accepted by

This introductory book offers not only a critique of the dominant approach to economics, but also presents a positive and constructive alternative. Students interested in an explanation of the real world will find the heterodox approach not only satisfying, but ultimately better able to explain a money-using economy prone to periods of instability and crises.

This book is about the conceptual foundations of an intermediate way between liberalism and socialism. From a standpoint of economic theory, this middle way is conceived of as a synthesis of classical (Ricardian) and Keynesian political economy. While the former deals with proportions between individuals or collectives and society in tackling the problems of distribution and value on the basis of the surplus principle, the latter is concerned with the scale of economic activity as explained by the principle of effective demand. Political economy pictures the economic aspects of the functioning of the institutional system within which the behaviour of individuals is embedded. The economy considered is, primarily, neither a market nor a planned economy, but, rather, a monetary production economy. To establish an alternative to liberalism and socialism requires setting up a system of the social sciences. In this work suggestions are made for linking political economy with other social sciences, i.e. sociology, law and politics in the traditional sense, thus establishing the unity of the social sciences. In a Keynesian vein, the social sciences are conceived of as moral sciences, a view which gives rise to a specific philosophy of history. To complete the picture, issues of method associated with the theory of knowledge in the social sciences and the problem of linking theory with historical reality are also covered.

Written on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the publication of Piero Sraffa's Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities, the papers selected and contained in Sraffa and the Reconstruction of Economic Theory account for the work completed around the two central aspects of his contribution to economic analysis, namely the criticism of the neoclassical (or marginalist) theory of value and distribution, and the reconstruction of economic theory along the lines of the Classical approach. Divided into three volumes, Sraffa and the Reconstruction of Economic Theory debates the most fruitful routes for advancement in this field and their implications for applied and policy analysis. This second volume focuses on the theory of output and growth as developed in the modern classical approach on the basis of the extension to the long run of the Keynesian principle of effective demand, and on the implications of the revival of the classical approach for policy analysis and for understanding the evolution of the international economic order in the last few decades.

Managerial Economics has assumed a predominant role in today's globalized and liberalized economy because of the financial implications of many decisions that a manager has to take in his day-to-day professional life. This comprehensive and student-friendly book strives to equip the young, practising and budding managers to find solutions to the real-world problems through the efficient and effective use of economic tools and techniques. The authors who admirably combine academic and professional experience give a clear and straightforward analysis of the various topics in managerial economics. The text begins with an overview of managerial economics and describes the modern business firm and its objectives along with the concepts of market mechanism, demand theory and production analysis. The text then moves further to explain managerial techniques, macroeconomic theory and international trade and finance along with the risks and uncertainties involved in business. Besides, it also explains the cost and revenue, supply, pricing, profit and investment analyses. Finally, this book discusses some important Case Studies to reinforce the concepts presented in the text. The third edition of the book comprises multiple choice questions (with answers) at the end of each chapter to test the understanding of the concepts discussed in the chapter. Besides, the objectives, strategies and initiatives of the twelfth five year plan (2012–2017) of Planning Commission as well as a new section on Replacement of Indian Planning Commission with NITI Aayog have been incorporated in the chapter on Macroeconomic Analysis. Intended as a text for postgraduate students of Management, Commerce and Economics, the book would also be useful for undergraduate engineering courses where Managerial Economics is offered. Finally, the book can be profitably used by marketing and management consultants, business executives and other related professionals. KEY FEATURES • Includes several simple, numerical examples with solutions for easy understanding of theory. • Contains a large number of tables and figures to illustrate the concepts. • Provides chapter-end exercises to check students' comprehension of the subject.

The primary objective of this book is to advance the state of the art in specifying and ?tting to data structural multi-sector dynamic macroeconomic models, and empirically implementing them. The fundamental construct upon which we build is the Ramsey model. A most attractive feature of this model is the insights it provides into the dynamics of an economy in tr- sition to long-run equilibrium. With some exceptions, Ramsey models are highly aggregated – typically single sector models. However, interest often lies in understanding the forces of e- nomic growth across multiple sectors of an economy and on how policy impacts likely play out over time. Such analyses call for moredisaggregatedmodelsthatcanbe?ttocountryorregional data.Thisbookshowshowto:(i)extendthebasicmodeltom- tiple sectors, (ii) how to adapt the basic model to account for policy instruments, and (iii) ?t the model to data, and obtain equilibrium values both forward and backward in time from the data points to which the model is initially ?t.

The third section contains three essays that explore the interrelationships among Keynes, Friedman, Kaldor, Marx and Sraffa and their approaches to macroeconomic theory and policy. The final section contains four essays that provide several new interpretations of The General Theory and its position within macroeconomics. Keynes's General Theory is intended for those students and scholars who are interested in the economics of Keynes and the rich variety of approaches to macroeconomic theory and policy.
