Title: A Stock-Flow Analysis of a Schumpeterian
Innovation Economy
Author⁄s: LUCARELLI, STEFANO
Abstract: Credit money plays a crucial role in Schumpeterian theoretical analysis of economic development.
Nevertheless, it is not simple to propose an analytical framework which is able to clarify the
meaning of credit creation considered as the monetary complement of innovation. This contribution
aims to describe Schumpeterian economic development in a “monetary theory of production”
framework. According to the Schumpeterian perspective, we propose to emphasize within the
monetary circuit both the monetary nature and the qualitative change of the capitalist system (i.e.
the innovative process). We will describe the different phases of Schumpeterian economic
development by employing a set of accounting matrixes, which allows us to respect the condition of
stock-flow consistency.
