Macroeconomics Books
Cambridge University Press When Nations Cant Default
Book SynopsisThis book explores the economic effects of war reparations, with a focus on how sovereign debt has financed the transfers. Results have varied: from quick repayments of large reparations to catastrophic economic crises. The occurring theme across the book has been that enforcement of debt contracts has important consequences.Trade Review'War reparations are often viewed solely through the lenses of German reparations following World War I. Simon Hinrichsen's carefully researched book shows that war reparations are not only common but that the German experience in terms of repayment is more the exception than the rule. By framing the reparations issue in the sovereign debt literature, the book offers new insights into the political and economic aspects of war reparations.' Kim Oosterlinck, Professor of Finance, Université libre de Bruxelles'War reparations has been a topic of considerable contemporary debate given the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Yet, much of the discussion has been remarkably bereft of an understanding of how these issues were tackled in the past. This book is a wonderful treatment of the history, economics and politics of war reparations and, hopefully, will result in the contemporary debates becoming more sophisticated. I teach classes on Reparations and Sovereign Debt and this book has already, even in draft form, proved to be an invaluable resource.' Mitu Gulati, Professor of Law, University of Virginia'In this insightful book, Hinrichsen analyses how and, more importantly, why war reparations have been paid, restructured, repudiated or simply ignored over the last two centuries. War reparations are unlike all other types of sovereign debt. If wars of aggression were exclusively a feature of earlier centuries, Simon Hinrichsen's book would be a fascinating study of how the monetary reparations payable to the victors in those conflicts were eventually handled. But as Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 demonstrates, unprovoked aggression is not confined to earlier centuries and the international community may soon need to grapple, yet again, with the issue of war reparations.'

Cambridge University Press Transforming Modern Macroeconomics Exploring Disequilibrium Microfoundations 19562003 Historical Perspectives on Modern Economics
Book SynopsisThis book tells the story of the search for disequilibrium micro-foundations for macroeconomic theory, from the disequilibrium theories of Patinkin, Clower and Leijonhufvud to recent dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models with imperfect competition. Placing this search against the background of wider developments in macroeconomics, the authors contend that this was never a single research program, but involved economists with very different aims who developed the basic ideas about quantity constraints, spillover effects and coordination failures in different ways. The authors contrast this with the equilibrium, market-clearing approach of Phelps and Lucas, arguing that equilibrium theories simply assumed away the problems that had motivated the disequilibrium literature. Although market-clearing models came to dominate macroeconomics, disequilibrium theories never went away and continue to exert an important influence on the subject. Although this book focuses on one strand in mTrade Review'Roger Backhouse and Mauro Boianovsky provide a fascinating, lively and meticulously researched account of the quest for non-Walrasian microfoundations of macroeconomic theory, from the efforts of Don Patinkin, Robert Clower, and Axel Leijonhufvud to understand Keynesian economics in terms of quantity constraints and coordination failures to recent attempts to incorporate imperfect competition in dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models. This book belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in modern macroeconomics and its history.' Robert W. Dimand, Brock University'For the real story of how macroeconomics got to its present state, you need to read this book. Backhouse and Boianovsky do a beautiful job of untangling a complicated literature that others have found convenient to forget.' Peter Howitt, Brown University'… this is a very nice book written by two specialists on the history of macroeconomics, and one that brings to the fore a crucial development that transformed the area: the disequilibrium literature.' Pedro Garcia Duarte, Journal of the History of Economic ThoughtTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Macroeconomics after Keynes; 3. Don Patinkin and the neoclassical synthesis; 4. Clower, Leijonhufvud and the re-appraisal of Keynesian economics; 5. Macroeconomics with slow price adjustment; 6. 'Equilibrium' microfoundations; 7. General equilibrium and imperfect competition; 8.

Cambridge University Press AgentBased Models in Economics
Book SynopsisEdited by several of the leading figures in the field, this is the first book to provide a state-of-the-art, accessibly written methodological introduction to the tools and techniques of agent-based modelling. Using these building blocks, readers will learn how to design, simulate, and validate agent-based models in economics.Trade Review'Some 25 years ago, Frank Hahn a leading economic theorist said, '… wildly complex systems need simulating … while there will be work for the computer scientist, I very much doubt that economists will be able to establish general propositions in any but very special examples'. Economists have reacted by saying 'show us an alternative'. This book does just that. It provides the elements of an alternative computational approach in which aggregate phenomena such as crises do not appear from the blue, but emerge from the interaction between simple but heterogeneous agents.' Alan Kirman, University of Aix-Marseille III'The authors conceive of economies as complex systems of heterogeneous interacting agents with bounded rationality and limited information, and they view agent-based modeling as a necessary tool for the exploration of such systems. In this book the authors provide a comprehensive introduction to agent-based modeling. Although macroeconomic applications are stressed, the coverage of topics such as rationality, behavior, expectations, and learning will be of value for many other applications as well. A particularly welcome aspect of the book is its attention to historical antecedents and its inclusion of chapters devoted to empirical validation and estimation issues.' Leigh Tesfatsion, Iowa State UniversityTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Agent-based computational economics: what, why, when; 3. Agent-based models as recursive systems; 4. Rationality, behaviour and expectations; 5. Agents' behaviour and learning; 6. Interaction; 7. The agent-based experiment; 8. Empirical validation of agent-based models; 9. Estimation of agent-based models; 10. Epilogue.

Cambridge University Press How a Ledger Became a Central Bank
Book SynopsisA quantitative history of the Bank of Amsterdam, a dominant central bank for much of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This book should interest monetary economists, scholars of central bank history, and historians of the Dutch Republic.Trade Review'Stephen Quinn and Will Roberds have written a remarkable book on the world's first true central bank and its first true international currency. Their newly unearthed history sheds much light on the past, but also the future, of the international monetary and financial system.' Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley'Using a superb combination of expert financial economics and meticulous historical research, Quinn and Roberds explain how the world's first central bank worked. Their analysis breaks new ground by showing how modern central banking principles already guided eighteenth-century finance. The book is of equally great interest to central banking theorists and economic historians.' Joost Jonker, University of Amsterdam'Based on an impressive amount of archival work and a deep understanding of modern finance, this book opens up a world of monetary operations previously unknown to even the most accomplished scholars of Dutch economic history.' Oscar Gelderblom, University of Antwerp'Unlike many researchers who ignored or misrepresented the evolution of central banking before 1800, Stephen Quinn and Will Roberds have contributed groundbreaking studies in this field for at least twenty years. Their work has also transformed my own understanding of the origins of central bank money, payments, and money market operations. For many years to come, How a Ledger Became a Central Bank will be the reference work not only on the financial and monetary history of the Bank of Amsterdam, but also for any other in-depth study of early central banking.' Ulrich Bindseil, European Central Bank'Who should own and operate a ledger and how different ledgers should be connected are hot topics today. In this remarkable book, Quinn and Roberds teach us how most of the problems that modern banks and central banks were designed, or were evolved, to solve are as old as the hills. Their book is full of examples of how public and private interests fostered trial-and-error processes that adapted, improved, and invented technologies and contracts. The detective work underlying the authors' stories is fascinating. As I read parts of this book, I find myself gathering insights about modern arrangements ranging from US repo markets to paying interest on reserves to cryptocurrency platforms to interoperability issues across those platforms.'

Book SynopsisFrom the bestselling author of The Ascent of Money and The Square and the Tower, a searching and provocative examination of the widespread institutional rot that threatens our collective futureWhat causes rich countries to lose their way? Symptoms of decline are all around us today: slowing growth, crushing debts, increasing inequality, aging populations, antisocial behavior. But what exactly has gone wrong? The answer, Niall Ferguson argues in The Great Degeneration, is that our institutions—the intricate frameworks within which a society can flourish or fail—are degenerating. With characteristic verve and historical insight, Ferguson analyzes the causes of this stagnation and its profound consequences for the future of the West. The Great Degeneration is an incisive indictment of an era of negligence and complacency—and to arrest the breakdown of our civilization, Ferguson warns, will take heroic

MIT Press Ltd Modern Macroeconomics The MIT Press
Book SynopsisA textbook that approaches modern macroeconomics through its microeconomic foundations, with an emphasis on financial market connections and policy applications.The modern study and analysis of macroeconomics begins by considering how microeconomic units—consumers and firms—make decisions, and then investigates how these choices interact to yield economy-wide outcomes.

MIT Press Ltd Evolution or Revolution Rethinking Macroeconomic
Book SynopsisLeading economists discuss post-financial crisis policy dilemmas, including the dangers of complacency in a period of relative stability.The Great Depression led to the Keynesian revolution and dramatic shifts in macroeconomic theory and macroeconomic policy. Similarly, the stagflation of the 1970s led to the adoption of the natural rate hypothesis and to a major reassessment of the role of macroeconomic policy. Should the financial crisis and the Great Recession lead to yet another major reassessment, to another intellectual revolution? Will it? If so, what form should it, or will it, take? These are the questions taken up in this book, in a series of contributions by policymakers and academics. The contributors discuss the complex role of the financial sector, the relative roles of monetary and fiscal policy, the limits of monetary policy to address financial stability, the need for fiscal policy to play a more active role in stabilization, and

MIT Press Ltd Big Ideas in Macroeconomics A Nontechnical View
Book SynopsisAn accessible description of modern macroeconomics, and a defense of its policy relevance.Macroeconomists have been caricatured either as credulous savants in love with the beauty of their mathematical models or as free-market fundamentalists who admit no doubt as to the market's wisdom. In this book, Kartik Athreya draws a truer picture, offering a nontechnical description of prominent ideas and models in macroeconomics, and arguing for their value as interpretive tools as well as their policy relevance. Athreya deliberately leaves out the technical machinery, providing an essential guide to the sometimes abstract ideas that drive macroeconomists' research and practical policy advice.Athreya describes the main approach to macroeconomic model construction, the foundational Walrasian general-equilibrium framework, and its modern version, the Arrow-Debreu-McKenzie (ADM) model. In the heart of the book, Athreya shows how the Walrasian approach shapes and unifies much of m
