Unemployment and Income Distribution: Some Extensions of Shaikh鈥檚 Analysis
Our findings confirm the existence of a negative relationship between labor market slack and the wage share, and we find no tendency to return to a 鈥榥ormal鈥� unemployment rate associated with a stable wage share.

INET Working Paper on the non-inflationary effects of unemployment reductions is cited in The Worker
“Among those contributions, recent works highlight the deep, radical revision of axioms considered cystic: that hysteresis, the permanence of high unemployment rates over time, is a basic condition to keep inflation under control. Professors Walter Paternesi, Davide Roamniello and Antonella Stirati have empirically demonstrated that this thesis is not permanent and that long-term unemployment can be reversed without a significant spike in inflation (/research/research- papers / on-the-non-inflationary-effects-of-long-term-unemployment-reductions). Another flagship of themainstream that can fall apart.” — Carles Manera, The Worker
Antonella Stirati鈥檚 INET funded book in Sinistrainrete
鈥渋n addition to the author’s interpretations, there will also be a considerable list of texts and contributions that can be useful for approaching and deepening the economic debate and the developments of the alternative and post-Keynesian theoretical approach, even in its various currents. . The not obvious presence in the public debate of these topics makes the book an important reading in order to interpret the recent economic history of our country starting from the questions that the crisis triggered by the outbreak of the pandemic and the recipes prepared by the European and national institutions pose us. , of which however no shadow is seen in political decisions, having an interpretative key that escapes the mainstream logic is, even more so in this context, of crucial importance.鈥� — Davide Romaniello, Sinistrainrete
