Post Walrasian Macroeconomics and IS / LM Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent work I have tried to spell out a Post Walrasian approach to macroeconomics (Colander, 1995a) and to translate that Post Walrasian vision into the aggregate supply/aggregate demand framework (Colander, 1995b). In this paper I continue that work and begin to relate the Post Walrasian vision to the standard IS/LM analysis. The paper is not about high theory; instead it is about the pedagogical use of the IS/LM framework.

My aim in this paper is to analyse it against the background of what I call the Marshall-Walras divide....
متن کاملReflections on modern macroeconomics: Can we travel along a safer road?
In this paper we sketch some reflections on the pitfalls and inconsistencies of the research program—currently dominant among the profession—aimed at providing microfoundations to macroeconomics along a Walrasian perspective. We argue that such a methodological approach constitutes an unsatisfactory answer to a well-posed research question, and that alternative promising routes have been long m...
