A distribuição de renda na esfera macroeconômica: decisões de investimento e bens de salário

Abstract

Investment decisions and the complex of internal and external economic relations to which they are submitted have a decisive significance for the determination of profile of the society’s income distribution. We call investment decision the volume of investment and its allocation between two sectors of the economy, capital goods and consumption goods. This turns to be, in this work, the crucial question for economic growth with increase or decrease of real wages, as this decision determines the distribution of the accumulation process among those sectors and their supply capacity as well. The overall supply of consumption goods is the strategic variable in the determination of the real wage. The distributive question thus demanded that we proposed this dissertation in order to understand how do the macroeconomic variables, specially those relating with the Public Sector and the External Sector, act upon the real wage’s behavior.
