Solow's Struggle with Medium-Run Macroeconomics, 1956–95
回顾了索洛从1950年代发展长期增长模型到1990年代中期与哈恩合著《现代宏观经济理论批判》期间,多次尝试构建结合均衡与非均衡的中期宏观经济学的过程。
Robert Solow has called repeatedly for the development of models that combine equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium outcomes, or what he calls medium-run macroeconomics. This essay recounts the history of his various attempts to address that issue. It starts in the early 1950s, when Solow developed his long-run growth model, and ends in the mid-1990s with the publication of A Critical Essay on Modern Macroeconomic Theory written with Frank Hahn. This narrative involves different economists associated with various research traditions, from the neoclassical synthesis in the 1960s, via the new classical economics in the 1970s, to the new neoclassical synthesis in the 1990s.
