Weintraub's consumption coefficient: response to Robert Dixon
回应罗伯特·迪克森的质疑,论证温特劳布消费系数在特定条件下能增强卡莱茨基模型并解释收入分配趋势,但最终有效性取决于实证检验。
The paper responds to a note by Robert Dixon that in an earlier paper we had mistakenly argued that Weintraub's consumption coefficient enhances Kalecki's model and helps to elucidate trends in the secular and functional distributions of income. We demonstrate the conditions under which our original claims for the use of the consumption coefficient are satisfied. Ultimately, whether or not the coefficient is a useful construct is an empirical issue. Copyright 2002, Oxford University Press.
