Models Building On Minsky

Some recent resources on Hyman Minsky:

• Gauti B. Eggertsson and Paul Krugman (2010) "Debt, Deleveraging, and the Liquidity Trap: A Fisher-Minsky-Koo Approach"
• Steve Keen (15 March 2011) "The Debt Krugman Would Rather Forget", Business Spectator.
• Steve Keen (2011) "A Monetary Minsky Model of the Great Moderation and Great Recession", Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization
• Thomas I. Palley (April 2010)"The Limits of Minsky's Financial Instability Hypothesis as an Explanation of the Crisis", Monthly Review, V. 61, Iss. 11.
• Thomas I. Palley (2011) "A Theory of Minsky Super-Cycles and Financial Crises", Contributions to Political Economy.
• Lance Taylor and Stephen A. O'Connell (1985) "A Minsky Crisis", Quarterly Journal of Economics, V. 100, Supplement: pp. 871-885.

With some work, one can find downloadable copies of the above papers containing the formal models. In the more popular paper above, Keen criticizes Krugman for retaining flawed assumptions of mainstream macroeconomics. Why should anyone care at this point how a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model can be tweaked? Palley's Monthly Review article is also deliberately designed to generate controversy. He argues that Minsky's approach needs to be supplemented by more structuralist explanations.
