The Two/One Class Model of Economic Growth.

This paper reconsiders the two/one-class model of economic growth, attributable to Kaldor, Pasinetta, Meade, Samuelson, Modigliani, and Sato, under the assumptions that part of corporate profits may not be distributed as dividends. Using results of M. Baranzini (1991), the distribution of property between the workers and capitalists is related to the rates of return on capital. Implications of a positive retention ratio are briefly considered. Copyright 1995 by Royal Economic Society.
