Robinson helped interpret and extend Keynes's theory of employment, stressing effective demand and the historical movement of economies. She later developed growth models focused on accumulation, profits, wages, technical change, and expectations. Her insistence on historical time challenged equilibrium models that compare settled states without explaining the path between them.
