Abstract:

This paper proposes an innovative research approach that integrates the system dynamics method with Marx's theory of social reproduction. Based on a dynamic analysis of the processes of capital accumulation and social reproduction, a system dynamics model of Marx's two major divisions of reproduction is constructed. Through simulation analysis, the interaction mechanisms between Division I and Division II under different modes of production are revealed. The results show that the accumulation rates of the two divisions constrain each other and are closely related to the organic composition of capital. Under the socialist mode of production, prioritizing the development of Division II to meet people's needs is essential, but it must be coordinated with the development of Division I. Proper regulation of the accumulation rate in Division IⅡ can effectively prevent economic fluctuations and ensure the stable operation of the reproduction process. The coordinated promotion of accumulation policy and technological progress is an important means to achieve sustained and healthy economic development. The findings provide theoretical support for building a high-level socialist market economy.
