Gender and the stability of consumption: a feminist contribution to post-Keynesian economics
利用当代女性主义理论回应Coddington对后凯恩斯学派使用根本不确定性的批评，通过将性别视为异性恋规范性的效应，把家庭这一消费主体纳入分析，从而更稳健地解释消费稳定性。
Alan Coddington critiques post-Keynesians for their use of fundamental uncertainty. He argues that fundamental uncertainty should also affect the consumption function, undermining the case for Keynesian macroeconomic policies. This paper shows how contemporary feminist theory provides post-Keynesians with a compelling response to Coddington. It uses the concept of gender as an effect of heteronormativity to integrate 'the household', the institution that undertakes consumption spending, into post-Keynesian economics. This gives us a more robust analysis of the sources of consumption stability in a world marked by the fundamental unknowability of the future. Copyright The Author 2008.
