MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany
Abstract:
In recent decades there has been a growing literature dealing with the empirical estimation of the rate of profit and other Marxian variables in several countries. Nonetheless, there has been a paucity of econometric research about the impact of those Marxian variables on the growth rate in developing countries. This paper seeks to evaluate the rate of profit and the rate of accumulation as determinants of the growth rate in Colombia during 1967-2019, using a VAR model. We find that both variables are statistically significant and, in concordance with Marxian theory predictions, affect positively the growth rate. We also identify direct impacts of growth rate over the profit rate and the accumulation rate as well as an inverse relationship between these last variables.
