Does Macroeconomics Need Microeconomic Foundations?
نویسنده
چکیده
I argue that it is microeconomics that needs foundations, not macroeconomics. Preferences need to be built on biology, and, in particular, on neuroscience. In contrast, macroeconomics could benefit from rationalizations of aggregate economic phenomena by non-equilibrium statistical physics.

Non-Self-Averaging in Macroeconomic Models: A Criticism of Modern Micro-founded Macroeconomics
Using a simple stochastic growth model, this paper demonstrates that the coefficient of variation of aggregate output or GDP does not necessarily go to zero even if the number of sectors or economic agents goes to infinity. This phenomenon known as non-self-averaging implies that even if the number of economic agents is large, dispersion can remain significant, and, therefore, that we can not l...
متن کاملCommentary on "Measuring and Analyzing Aggregate Fluctuations: The Importance of Building form Microeconomic Evidence"
To prevent their theories from becoming as unhinged as the Phillips curve, modern macroeconomic theorists conventionally build from microeconomic fundamentals. Recent empirical studies of macroeconomic phenomena that heavily use data from individual producers, exemplified by the work of Davis, Haltiwanger, and Schuh (1996), have convinced empirical macroeconomic practitioners they should do the...

This paper is an important contribution to the literature on the microeconomic foundations of macroeconomics. Caballero and Engel take as given some of the ‘facts’ of the behavior of the aggregate price level in particular the high degree of persistence. They then endeavor to explain these facts using a simple model of microeconomic price adjustment. Their explicit examination of how their mode...
متن کاملKinky Perceived Demand Curves and Keynes-Negishi Equilibria∗
The label “Keynes-Negishi equilibria” is attached here to equilibria in a monetary economy with imperfectly competitive product and labor markets where business firms and labor unions hold demand perceptions with kinks as posited in Negishi’s 1979 book Microeconomic Foundations of Keynesian Macroeconomics. Such equilibria are defined in a general equilibrium model, and shown to exist. Methodolo...
متن کاملToward a Macroeconomics of the Medium Run
T hese days macroeconomics has become more respectable than it used to be. I can remember when many economists liked to say: Microeconomics is not problematic, but I just don’t understand macroeconomics. There was a definite implication that something must be wrong with macroeconomics, not with the observer. Of course macroeconomics cannot be “exact;” it has to work by rough analogy and empiric...
