El patrón oro y el euro. Una reflexión a partir de la lectura de A Tract on Monetary Reform
2017
This paper makes a comparison between the gold standard and the euro through a study of Keynes’s views on the need to manage the macroeconomic situation of an industrial economy. The essay centers on Keynes’s first relevant economic work of the post World War I years, A Tract on Monetary Reform, analyzing its theoretical and practical content. The situation of monetary instability and the choice of exchange regime (to return or not to the gold standard, with the parity prior to the war) were the factors that attracted Keynes’s attention in those years. Similarities between the gold standard and the present euro system bestow a certain interest on Keynes’s ideas and on the economic discussio…
Active monetary policy and instability in a phillips curve system
1998
The presence of nonlinearities in a Phillips curve system yields to complex dynamics, i.e., cyclical behavior that may (under some parametric set) become chaotic. This paper extends these conclusions by including an active monetary policy. We show how stabilization policy may lead to amplified instabilities and that agents' expectations tend to play a key role in the amount of these instabilities.
Debating Sound Money in Early Modern Europe: From Dualist to Metallic Monetary Systems
2019
International audience; In this paper, we present the monetary debates in Europe from the XVIth to the XVIIIth centuries from the viewpoint of the problem of good and sound money. The framework of the paper is built on a typology of monetary systems, by which a dualist system is distinguished from a metallic one. Under the dualist system, the value in units of account of the specie in circulation was defined by monetary proclamations (Einaudi locates this era from Charlemagne to the French Revolution). Metallist proponents aimed at preventing any kind of manipulations with a radical transformation of the system of payment, which gave birth to a metallic monetary system from the very end of …

Reforming the international financial and monetary system: from Keynes to Davidson and Stiglitz
2004
International audience; With the usual debates trumpeting the usual merits of fixed versus flexible exchange rates, or some various incarnations thereof, the authors draw attention to Keynes's original plan for an international clearing union. The paper takes a close look at Joseph Stiglitz's recent suggestions to deal with financial crises along with Paul Davidson's Keynes-Post Keynesian clearinghouse. In the former case, the analysis is left wanting: the author offers nothing more than simple solutions to a system in need of dramatic changes. On the other hand, Davidson's analysis of the current state of affairs requires more than mere "plumbing" and addresses the root causes of the crise…
John Maurice Clark's contribution to the genesis of the multiplier analysis: A note with some related unpublished correspondence
2008
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,
The macroeconomic governance of the European Monetary Union: A Keynesian perspective
2005
Revised version - May 2006; Extending Asensio's closed-economy framework (2005a,b) to a monetary union, we show that theprinciples of governance which emanate from the so called "New Consensus in Macroeconomics"(NCM), and therefore have been designed for presumed stationary regimes, may cause severedysfunctions, such as depressive macroeconomic policies and unemployment traps, in non-ergodicregimes. The Keynesian approach, on the other hand, pleads in favour of important changes in thecurrent governance of the eurozone. First, since the European Central Bank can not repress distributiveinflationary pressures without having non-temporary depressive effects on aggregate demand andemployment, …
La formation du capital et le financement de l'amortissement chez Walras et Keynes
1985
L'explication de la formation du capital dans les systèmes de Walras distingue les entrepreneurs des capitalistes. Les premiers organisent la production, les seconds épargnent une partie de leur revenu tiré de la rémunération des services producteurs. Walras distingue essentiellement trois facteurs de production, le travail, la terre et le capital. (...)
