Dear Professor Steindl,
Thank you for your letter of 26th May.
Your two closely connected points - about the solution not forgetting
the initial conditions and about the process not being ergodic - are quite
correct and persuasive; they indeed seem to speak against the equation with
the forward argument.
A week or so ago I sent a new version of the paper to the Oxford
Economic Papers. Compared with the version you have got, the new version
has a new section entitled "Concluding Remarks", which was written in
response to your first letter. It has also been cleared of some obvious
linguistic errors. I hope to have a reply from the Editors in about three
months.
I think it is a splendid idea that you write a comment on this paper
as soon as we know that it is going to be published. It will force me to
think again about the link between the trend and business fluctuations
within the framework of Kalecki's models. Your comments have already
helped me a great deal (after Kalecki and Joanna - my wife - you are the
first person with whom I have had a proper discussion of the paper), but
clearly thev must be of wider interest?
With best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
NA, A cnhen
