The middle class in macroeconomics and growth theory: a three-class neo-Kaleckian-Goodwin model
构建了一个包含工人、中层管理者和顶层资本家三个阶级的增长模型，引入个人收入分配变化，分析阶级冲突如何导致增长体制在利润驱动和工资驱动之间内生转换。
This paper presents a three-class growth model with labour market conflict. The classes are workers, a middle-management middle class and a ‘top’ management capitalist class. The model introduces personal income distribution that supplements conventional concerns with functional income distribution. Endogenously generated changes in personal income distribution can generate endogenous shifts from profit-led to wage-led regimes and vice versa. A three-class economy generates richer patterns of class conflict because the middle class has shared interests and conflicts with both capitalists and workers. Changes that benefit the middle class do not necessarily increase growth or employment or benefit workers.
