| Abstract: | This paper extends the work of Marc Lavoie and Wynne Godley in the book ” Monetary Economics: An Integrated Approach to Credit, Money, Income, Production and Wealth“, by creating an SFC (Stock-flow consistent) model with two sectors of private firms. To make the model intelligible, the thesis starts with the introduction of some of the post-Keynesian principles, then the defining characteristics of the SFC modeling are introduced, as well as the software EViews, which can be used to build SFC models. The principles are then used to narrate several models from the aforementioned book, which contain certain motifs that are essential for SFC modeling as a whole and for the novel model in this thesis. The novel model builds on a simple model with the markup pricing. By splitting the sector of firms into two, various asymmetries in price-setting mechanism and wage-setting mechanisms were examined by simulating the change of ratios between sectors and the change of markup. The results supported the classical notion that the side which adjusts price less bears the greater cost. |
