Abstract
En este trabajo se analiza si la macroeconomía kaleckiana puede ser considerada una tradición de pensamiento en el sentido dado por Larry Laudan (1978). Para ello se analiza la evolución del pensamiento teórico, mediante una revisión de la literatura teórica y empírica, partiendo desde la obra de Kalecki hasta los trabajos más recientes, pasando por los estudios de Steindl o Goodwin. Los autores han sido seleccionados por un método agrupador que consiste en identificar puntos comunes, en vez de diferencias. Además, se destacan los principales postulados y conceptos que son mayoritariamente compartidos dentro de esta tradición, y que constituyen un mapa conceptual de la cuestión. A continuación, se repasan y clasifican los estudios empíricos para determinar el objeto y resultados de las investigaciones aplicadas, esencialmente orientadas a establecer los regímenes de crecimiento en la mayoría de países. Ambas cuestiones, teoría y resultados, permiten concluir que se trata de una tradición de investigación en términos epistemológicos.
This paper examines if Kaleckian macroeconomics could be considered a research tradition, in the sense given by Larry Laudan. In order to fulfil this objective, we will analyze the evolution of Kaleckian theoretical thought, which include the contributions of Kalecki, Steindl or Goodwin, and the most recent empirical studies using the Bhaduri/Marglin model. The authors have been selected through a lumping method, which is defined as an aggregation of authors stablished in function of their common ideas. In addition, we highlight the main principles and concepts shared by this tradition and we provide a conceptual map of the issue. Then, we review and classify empirical studies to determine the objectives and results of applied research, mainly aimed at establishing regimes of growth in most countries. Both issues, theory and results, lead us to the conclusion that Kaleckian macroeconomics is a tradition of research in epistemological terms.
