Abstract
the paper is centred on Pigou’s core framework of Theory of Unemployment (TU) and his arguments on the determinants of unemployment in the short period are discussed. I will show what actually are the implicit assumptions in TU on the behavior of the non wage earners in the non wage sector. Pigou’s argument is further clarifed via a simple model in the Appendix. It is also argued that classical and neoclassical schools were rather close in viewing the problem of the (un)employment determination, making almost right the label (“classical”) Keynes gave to his predecessors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
