Please see ‘Publications’ for preprint versions of published and forthcoming papers, as well as for external links to publishers’ websites for the definitive published versions. At the bottom you will find some very early papers that were never published but which may still be of interest, especially in relation to the evolution of my subsequent work.

Earl (1996) Economics and Marketing; A Survey (This had been written at the request of the Cambridge Journal of Economics but I never revised it in response to the initial round of referee comments — partly due to other commitments but mainly because one of the referees had written a report that alluded to sources that I had failed to employ but it gave no indication of what they were.)

Download. (This was my first attempt to present ideas that eventually grew into my 1983 book The Economic Imagination.)
Peter E. Earl and Keith W. Glaister (1980) Wage Stickiness from the Demand Side (This paper is a contribution to Post Keynesian wage theory. It is written in a pluralistic manner using ideas from behavioural and orthodox approaches to the firm and it may be viewed as a precursor to papers that others published soon after on ‘efficiency wages’. At the time, referees were rather bemused by some of the literature we used. We then wrote a shorter version Can the Unemployed Prices Themselves into Jobs? but this one fared no better. We then gave up trying to place either version with a journal without thinking of trying to see what reaction we could get at the then newly-established JPKE.)
Peter E. Earl (1976) The Difficulties of Mixing Theoretical Assumptions with Practical Obersvations About the Nature of Capitalist Economies. (This is an ‘honourably mentioned’ entry that I wrote as a Cambridge undergraduate for Cabridge’s ‘Adam Smith Essay Competition’. It is my first extended piece of economics writing, and at time I wrote it I was unaware of the book by G. B. Richardson (1960) Information and Investment, whose ideas about the problem of investment coordination and the necessity of so-called ‘market imperfections’ I had reinvented.)
