Macroeconomic Theory And Economic Policy: Essays In Honour Of Jean-paul Fitoussi (routledge Frontiers Of Political Economy, 59)

Macroeconomic Theory and Economic Policy An impressive array of leading macroeconomists have come together in a single book to pay tribute to Jean-Paul Fitoussi. That they have done so here is a tribute to the consummate macroeconomic theorist, Jean-Paul Fitoussi – in whose honour this book is written. The development of macroeconomic theory and the implications for economic policy is the main focus of this book. Topics that are given new theoretical underpinnings, as well as alternative perspectives, in this book include: • • • • growth theory labour market theory rational expectations theory the development of macroeconomic theory and thought. Coming together to honour Fitoussi, the contributors have pulled off an impressive coup in creating a book which will interest advanced students of macroeconomics, economists generally as well as those involved in the formulation of economic policy.
