宏观经济学的前世今生——浦山世界经济学优秀论文奖(2014)获奖感言

Pushan Award for Excellent Papers on International Economics(2014):Acceptance Speech

用科学的态度研究宏观经济问题,最终还要回到宏观经济学,泛泛而谈宏观经济问题多数是走向邪路。研究宏观经济学,一要遵循范式但不生搬硬套,二要能简则简,三要严肃的批评而非泛泛地反对。

John Maynard Keynes is the father of modern macroeconomics while John Richard Hicks can be seen as the midwife of macroeconomics as the latter had largely masterminded the IS-LM model.Many economists have tried to improve the model,but they have nonetheless abided by the logic that Hicks had used to establish the model.If we see Hicks as the midwife of modern macroeconomics,then Leon Walras should be its mother after we take into consideration the looks of me discipline.
