Money, interest, and policy

dynamic general equilibrium in a non-ricardian world

This work develops the argument that moving from "Ricardian" dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models to "non-Ricardian" models solves many puzzles and paradoxes in monetary issues that might have cast doubt on the DSGE methodology for monetary economics. An important recent advance in macroeconomics is the ...

How mathematicians think

using ambiguity, contradiction, and paradox to create mathematics

To many outsiders, mathematicians appear to think like computers, grimly grinding away with a strict formal logic and moving methodically - even algorithmically - from one black-and-white deduction to another. Yet mathematicians often describe their most important breakthroughs as creative, intuitive responses to ambiguity, contradiction, and paradox ...
