First of all,<br />the article presents a synthesis of the main arguments presented by post-Keynesians on<br />what the author calls the strategic determination of desired mark-ups. He then set out to<br />recuperate the concept of user costs developed by Keynes and which, in his opinion, is<br />well-suited for representing the expectational determination of desired mark-ups. Finally,<br />the author proposes an analytical integration of these two determinations, given a set of market and economic structures. This integration is summarized in a general formula for<br />desired mark-ups.</p> <p><strong>JEL Classification:</strong> D43.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Brazilian Journal of Political Economy}, author={Kandir, Antonio}, year={1998}, month={Oct.}, pages={505-525} }
