New journal - Review of Keynesian Economics

Very exciting stuff - A new journal called the Review of Keynesian Economics will be launched in October 2012. Most of the journals associated explicitly with Keynes have a strong Post-Keynesian bent. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but it does give it all a heterodox flavor. While I see some Post Keynesians on the editorial board, it looks like this one is going to be a bigger tent.

The chair of AU's economics department, Robert Blecker, is on the editorial board.

UPDATE: From the aims and scope -

"We have intentionally titled the journal Keynesian without any qualifying adjective or prefix. Our aim is to encourage research and discourse in Keynesian economics – be it old Keynesianism, fundamental Keynesianism, neo-Keynesianism, Post Keynesianism, Sraffian Keynesianism, Kaleckian Keynesianism, or Marxist Keynesianism. The journal is open to all forms of Keynesianism, which we define as (1) holding that output and employment are normally constrained by aggregate demand, (2) holding that the problematic of aggregate demand shortage exists independently of price, nominal wage, and nominal interest rate rigidities, and (3) rejecting the claim that the real wage is equal to the marginal disutility of labor.

This openness to all forms of Keynesianism reflects a desire to avoid intellectual sectarianism, which we think has afflicted past Keynesian discourse. In our view circumstance and ability certainly contributed to the success of the classical macroeconomics counter-revolutionaries, but so too did intellectual and sociological failure among Keynesians. Their tendency to apply arbitrary litmus tests and engage in intellectual sectarianism did a disservice to their project, and in doing so did disservice to society. We want to avoid repeating that history."
