  • Household Debt and Aggregate Demand in a Stock-Flow Consistent Model

    Open AccessFrancesco Ruggeri, Giuliano Toshiro YajimaARTICLEReview of Political Economy2026

    This paper develops a Stock-Flow Consistent (SFC) model to analyse the macroeconomic implications of rising household debt in Anglo-Saxon economies before the Global Financial Crisis. The model includes households, firms, and banks, and distinguishes between workers and rentiers with different income sources, balance-sheet positions, and propensities to consume. Household consumption depends on income, wealth, and consumption emulation, while cre…

  • A Populist Axis? Analyzing Connections Between Populist, Economic, and Cultural Dimensions of Political Space

    Open AccessAndrei Zhirnov, Jan Philipp Thomeczek et al.ARTICLEComparative Political Studies2026References: 84

    What makes populist parties successful? What is the contribution of populist ideas to their appeal? How do they affect a voter’s choice? In this article, we treat populist orientation as just another dimension of spatial competition alongside economic and cultural dimensions, and assess its influence on vote choice. Using survey data from nine countries, we place voters and parties along the populist, economic, and cultural dimensions and estimat…

  • One model to rule them all? Choosing two-dimensional spaces for European political landscapes with VAA data

    Open AccessJan Philipp Thomeczek, Andrei Zhirnov et al.ARTICLEJournal of Information Technology…2025Cited by: 1References: 21

    This article investigates the effectiveness of three different two-dimensional models in representing political competition using user data from the EU and I Voting Advice Application for the EU elections from 2009 to 2019. We test different ways of aggregating economic, cultural, and European integration issues to determine which configuration best captures voter preferences across all member states. Our findings show that combining economic and…

  • Inequality and Exchange Rate Movements in an Open-Economy Macroeconomic Model

    Open AccessEmilio Carnevali, Francesco Ruggeri et al.ARTICLEReview of Political Economy2022References: 7

    This article presents a complete macroeconomic (SFC) model to study income and wealth distribution in an open economy. We argue that exchange rates and the stock of foreign debt play a major role in shaping inequality across and within countries. Using the ‘relative income hypothesis’, we show that debt-financed consumption of low-income households can affect both total income and the disposable income of high-income households in the medium run.…

  • Are Shadow Moneys Money Proper? A Critical Discussion from the Perspective of the History of Monetary Theory

    Bruna Ingrao, Francesco Ruggeri et al.ARTICLEReview of Political Economy2022References: 4

    We address the issue of whether some financial instruments produced by financial innovation, like the so-called shadow moneys, can be regarded as proper money. This is done by examining some past contributions (by Menger, Jevons, Keynes and Hicks) on the nature of money and its fundamental properties. We argue that the most satisfactory contributions come from Hicks, who holds that the essential function of money is to be the economy’s standard o…
