Sraffa and the microfoundations of Keynes

Author

Listed:
  • Takashi Negishi

Abstract

After a brief survey of the Japanese literature on Sraffa, the author explains how his own theory of the microfoundations of Keynesian macro-economics was influenced by Sraff's view of competitive markets. This view can be interpreted that firms perceive kinked demand curves. It is emphasized that Azariadis's theory of implicit contracts can explain unemployment only if we take Sraffa's not Walras's, view of competitive market.
