Integrating Tobin's Q with Goodwin's Nonlinear Accelerator

Author

  • Joao Ricardo Faria

Abstract

This paper derives an optimal investment function that combines Tobin's q with Goodwin's nonlinear accelerator. It provides microfoundations to the backward looking behaviour of investment in Goodwin's model, and simultaneously allows the study of Tobin's q into a business cycle model.
