Gianpaolo Mariutti |
The Wealth of Nations is still nowadays a topic of central interest for both economists and public opinion. Such interest has been focused on: the perils and traps in the quantitative measures of wealth, how the economies have become rich and evolved in the long run; how they have been subjected in the process of growing to structural changes in their industries, employment, goods, knowledge. The attempt is to single out from data some "regularities" that may be helpful in setting up theories of economic development history-"friendly". | |

Alessia Campolmi |
Use of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) Open Economy Models to analyse countries interactions. For example, those models are used to study if and how the transmission of fiscal and monetary policy changes from closed to open economy. Or if and how demand and supply shocks transmit from one country to another. Those studies can be conductd under several scenarios: small vs big country (as compared to the rest of the world), monetary union, fixed vs flexible exchange rates. | |

The Keynesian and Sraffian paradigm were born in the XX century to offer an opposite vision of the dominant theory. The arguments that have been examined are: the stability, equilibrium and dynamic consequences of the principle of effective demand.

In this context, it is analyzed the debate between the "two Cambridge" on capital and the topic of structural economic dynamics. | |
