Accounting Disclosure and Real Effects

In this paper I advocate and illustrate a new approach to the study of accounting measurement and disclosure that is strikingly different from the usual studies of disclosure in pure exchange economies. This new approach studies the “real effects” of accounting disclosure, arguing that how accountants measure and report firms’ economic transactions, earnings and cash flows to capital ma…

Managing the Politics of Reform

In September 2005 we organized a conference at the University of Cassino, Italy, the aim of which was to explore ‘The Keynesian Legacy in Macro- economic Modelling’. In the postwar period, macroeconomic modelling of developed economies was mainly rooted in Keynesian theory up to the 1970s, when the failure of applied models to deal with stagflation led to a shift in economic theory towards …

Essays on Keynesian and Kaldorian Economics

Keynes’s General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money is undoubtedly regarded as the most important book on economics in the twentieth century, and this view would be shared, I think, by those who are wholly opposed to its teaching as well as by its adherents.

Advanced Public Procurement as Industrial Policy

This study is about the macroeconomics of positive externalities or industrial spillovers around advanced production.

I use the Swedish military aircraft industry as an illustrative case, and in particular the major industrial pr…
