Its purpose is to compare various employment models within a single and familiar heuristic framework, taking into account both the profit maximization hypothesis and the effective demand principle. This framework retains the assumption of decreasing returns but adds the impact of income distribution on effective demand through consumption demand.
Key Words: real wages unemployment demand for labor
