摘要：The aim of this paper is to present the main ideas
that could form the core of the Post-Keynesian approach to
the analysis of labour demand at both micro- and
macroeconomic levels. Specifically, this paper first reviews the
essential elements characterising the Post-Keynesian approach
to microeconomic analysis of labour demand. To do this, the
"traditional view" is first presented, associated with the
concept of the firm characterised by the presence of fixed
technical coefficients and capacity reserves, and then the
essential features of an alternative and more innovative view
are described, based on the concept of the firm that emanates
from the competence-based theories of organisation.
Subsequently, the core of the Post-Keynesian contributions at
the macroeconomic level is presented, organising them into
two sections: first, those contributions that break away from
the "second classical postulate" and second, those that
additionally steer away from the "first classical postulate".
Finally, the paper summarizes the main ideas that could be the
core of the post-Keynesian approach to the analysis of labour
demand, both in micro- and macroeconomic fields.
