摘要

The paper reconstructs the Marxian circuit of capital model to identify distinctive dynamics of the growth and reproduction of the total capital stock. The growth of the financial, productive, and commercial capital stock and the reproduction of the capital-labor relation in this model is primarily induced by the change in both the three capital flows that link the three capital stocks and time-lags tied to the accumulation of each capital stock. The paper develops a representative Marxian circuit of capital model in a single sector and conducts a series of comparative dynamic analyses through simulations. The simulation result shows that there exist nonlinear interactions among the three capital stocks that generate divergent growth patterns of the total capital stock, and these dynamic interactions are induced by the change in both three capital flows and time-lags required for the reproduction of the system. The simulation approach to the model also sheds light into the nature and effect of financialization and the realization crisis on the growth pattern of the three capital stocks, in which delays in either mobilizing financial capital outlay or in sales of final products alters the composition of the total capital stock, thereby pointing to the potential presence of distinct and divergent “growth regimes” of capital accumulation.
