macroeconomics models DSGE macroeconomic policies

Robert E. Lucas

About

My current research addresses the recent history of macroeconometric modelling, from Robert Lucas’s seminal contributions in the 1970 to today’s dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models. It provides an interpretation of the new interactions among macroeconomic theories, quantitative methods and expertise.

I am also managing editor for Œconomia – History / Methodology / Philosophy.
