"Estabilidade e Pleno Emprego": As origens do esquema de Kaldor para a análise da flutuação e do crescimento econômicos

Abstract

"Stability and Full Employment": the origins of Kaldor's framework for economic fluctuation and growth analysis. Nicholas Kaldor is known as an author who often changed his mind throughout his career. This is the case of his analyses of the process of economic growth, in which he proposed various models leading to quite different and, occasionally, conflicting conclusions. Specifically, Kaldor changed his position concerning the stability of the full employment situation. This paper shows that, in spite of those changes, Kaldor in fact used different versions of the same basic analytical framework and that this framework has its origin in his paper "Stability and Full Employment"published in the Economic Journal in December 1938.
