Research

Hagen Krämer focuses his research on the theory and empirics of income- and wealth distribution, the services economy and digitalization and on the history of economic thought. He is co-author of numerous monographs and publications in academic journals and anthologies. In his book Sparen und Investieren im 21. Jahrhundert. Die Große Divergenz which he has written with Carl Christian von Weizsäcker he addressed the role of the state in times of increasing saving propensities and diminishing investment propensities.[3] In 2021 Carl Christian von Weizsäcker and Hagen Krämer published with Saving and Investment in the Twenty-First Century. The Great Divergence open access an extended and updated English version of the book.[4] Together with Christian Proaño and Mark Setterfield, he published the book Capitalism, Inclusive Growth, and Social Protection. Inherent Contradiction or Achievable Vision? in 2023.[5] In this book a theoretical approach to support a progressive economic policy is developed. This approach combines (MKS-System) central elements of Marx (distributional conflicts), Keynes (effective demand) and Schumpeter (Innovations). In addition, Hagen Krämer researches on technological progress, services and structural change. Especially, he deals with the cost disease of services (Baumol's cost disease).
