John, there are many, but I am in a rush, just wanted to remind you of the Cornwalls! I know you are an honorary Canadian, so there's n question you are familiar! :) Mathew Forstater Professor of Economics, UMKC & Research Director, Binzagr Institute [page2image544] for Sustainable Prosperity From: AFEEMAIL List <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> on behalf of "Henry, John" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Reply-To: AFEEMAIL List <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Date: Friday, February 26, 2016 5:41 PM To: AFEEMAIL List <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: Re: [AFEEMAIL] Growth Theory Phil, Thanks for these. Yes, the problem remains that of equilibrium, full employment assumptions. But, maybe something can be tweaked. My colleague is a pretty smart guy and know the Wynn Godley approach quite well (though it doesn't quite speak to what he's after.) John John F.

But again... Non-ergodicity... Do we trust this?

But I've never seen it done. I think that stuff was dropped after Robinson's "History vs Equilibrium" work when methodology overruled long-term modelling. But it wouldn't be hard to plug in some distribution figures from Piketty/Saez into a Cambridge equation. But would we good non-ergodic folks accept the result? Especially with that full employment assumption built in... Beyond that there's Baduri-Marglin but that's just export led stuff.

Perhaps some of you can come to my assistance. Does anyone know of any heterodox types who work on non-neoclassical theories of growth from which long-term predictions can be generated? Most of the literature I know of in this area is either old or deals with sustainability. But, the issue addressed is to develop a reasonable counter to conventional theory(ies) that appears both more reasonable and also usable in forecasting. Any takers? Many thanks in advance.
