The Balance-of-Payments-Constrained Growth Model: A North-South Approach (2005), Journal of Post Keynesian Economics, Vol. 29, N° 1, pp. 67-92. Itdevelops a general extended version of the balance-of-payments constrained growth model. The extension takes into account trade imbalances and the importance of net financial flows in the long-run, relative price changes caused by idiosyncratic rules of adjustment in prices, and trade and payments interdependence among asymmetric regions. Contingent on parameters values of each region, we found that an exogenous change in the rate of growth of financial transfers may generate either a mutually reinforcing growth regime or a conflicting growth regime.

One of the things our grandchildren will find quaintest about us is that we distinguish the digital from the real, the virtual from the real. In the future, that will become literally impossible. The distinction between cyberspace and that which isn’t cyberspace is going to be unimaginable. When I wrote Neuromancer in 1984, cyberspace already existed for some people, but they didn’t spend all their time there. So cyberspace was there, and we were here. Now cyberspace is here for a lot of us, and there has become any state of relative nonconnectivity. There is where they don’t have Wi-Fi.

Introduction

Well folks, that’s it, here endeth the lectures. We”ll go over key concepts and summarise the course in this lecture.

Watch the slides below and download the handout.

Bring questions to class for me to answer, or use the last tutorials to do the same with Neal.

For the exam, do the readings, listen to the lectures again, make sure to have a go at the sample exam, the past exam, redo your problem sets, and spend some time working on breadth and depth of coverage of the course, because I’ll be examining both.

Other than that, good luck, and thanks.
