A search model of employment with an argument for the invalidity of dynamic equations which depend on expectations (with A. J. Hynes). The distinction between relative and absolute value in classical and Marxian economics: the latter is a definition and not subject to empirical, logical or normative refutation. The methodological position that operational propositions cannot be derived from the maximising calculus, but stem from the hypothesis of stable tastes.
A test of the proposition that rapid economic growth in Canada in 1901-1910 was primarily due to staple exports (with East. J. Chambers). And an independent development of implicit contracts as an explanation for lay-offs, job-rationing and unemployment.
