  The dominant macro model has for some time been the Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model, or DSGE, whose name points to some of its outstanding characteristics. ‘‘General’’ indicates that the model includes all markets in the economy. ‘‘Equilibrium’’ points to the assumptions that supply and demand balance out rapidly and unfailingly, and that competition reigns in markets that are undisturbed by shortages, surpluses, or involuntary unemployment. ‘‘Dynamic’’ means that the model looks at the economy over time rather than at an isolated moment. ‘‘Stochastic’’ corresponds to a specific type of manageable randomness built into the model that allows for unexpected events, such as oil shocks or technological changes, but assumes that the model’s agents can assign a correct mathematical probability to such events, thereby making them insurable. Events to which one cannot assign a probability, and that are thus truly uncertain, are ruled out.
     The agents populating DSGE models, functioning as individuals or firms, are endowed with a kind of clairvoyance. Immortal, they see to the end of time and are aware of anything that might possibly ever occur, as well as the likelihood of its occurring; their decisions are always instantaneous yet never in error, and no decision depends on a previous decision or influences a subsequent decision. Also assumed in the core DSGE model is that all agents of the same type—that is, individuals or firms—have identical needs and identical tastes, which, as ‘‘optimizers,’’ they pursue with unbounded self-interest and full knowledge of what their wants are. By employing what is called the ‘‘representative agent’’ and assigning it these standardized features, the DSGE model excludes from the model economy almost all consequential diversity and uncertainty—characteristics that in many ways make the actual economy what it is. 
    The DSGE universe makes no distinction between system equilibrium, in which balancing agent-level disequilibrium forces maintains the macroeconomy in equilibrium, and full agent equilibrium, in which every individual in the economy is in equilibrium. In so doing, it assumes away phenomena that are commonplace in the economy: involuntary unemployment and the failure of prices or wages to adjust instantaneously to changes in the relation of supply and demand. These phenomena are seen as exceptional and call for special explanation. 

   支配的なマクロモデルはしばらく前から動的確率的一般均衡モデル(DSGE)であり、その名前はその優れた特性のいくつかを示しています。 「一般」とは、モデルに経済のすべての市場が含まれることを示します。 「均衡」とは、需要と供給が急速かつ確実に均衡し、不足、剰余金、または自発的失業に邪魔されない市場で競争が支配されるという仮定を指しています。 「動的」とは、モデルが孤立した瞬間ではなく、経時的に経済を見ていることを意味します。 ''確率的 ''は、オイルショックや技術的変化などの予期しない出来事を可能にする、モデルに組み込まれた管理可能なランダム性の特定の種類に対応します保険をかけます。確率を割り当てることができない、そしてそれ故に本当に不確実である出来事は除外されます。
   個人または企業として機能するDSGEモデルを生成するエージェントは、一種の千里眼を迎えています。不滅の、彼らは時間の終わりまで見て、それが起こる可能性があるだけでなく、これまでに起こる可能性がある何かを知っています。彼らの決定は常に瞬間的であるが、決して誤ってはおらず、そして決定は前の決定に依存したり後の決定に影響を与えたりしない。また、コアDSGEモデルでは、同じタイプのすべてのエージェント、つまり個人または会社は、同一のニーズと同一の嗜好を持っていると仮定しています。彼らの欲しいものは何ですか。 「代表代理人」と呼ばれるものを採用し、それにこれらの標準化された特徴を割り当てることによって、DSGEモデルはモデル経済からほとんどすべての必然的な多様性と不確実性を除外します。
   DSGEの世界では、均衡因子レベルの不均衡力がマクロ経済を均衡状態に維持するシステム均衡と、経済内のすべての個人が均衡状態にある完全因子均衡とを区別していません。そうすることで、それは経済でありふれている現象を排除します:不本意な失業、そして需要と供給の関係の変化に即座に適応するための価格または賃金の失敗。これらの現象は例外的なものと見なされ、特別な説明が求められます。

MMT predicts well – Groupthink in action 2017 bill

それは、合理的で最大化されたミクロの振る舞いを代表的なエージェントマクロに集約する試みに基づく「ミクロ創設DSGEモデルからの洞察」(キャリブレーションされた動的確率一般均衡モデル)を使用します。そのため、時系列モデルやVARモデル(VAR = Vector Autoregressive  - 理論的には単なるデータフィッティング)をアドホックに使用することで補完しています。

彼らはこれが彼らのアプローチを意味すると主張する:

…完全にミクロな推定モデルと純粋な時系列またはVARモデルの間にある…一方では、多くの完全推定マクロ計量モデルの問題の1つを避けています。タニティ問題。一方、経済理論をモデルの基礎として使用することによって、このアプローチは、予測においてグローバルなVARモデルを凌駕し、研究者がVARモデルでは対処できない政策シミュレーションを実行できるようになるはずです。

あなたがそれを言っているとして読むべきである:

1.いわゆるマイクロファウンデッドDGSEモデルは、合理的な期待(皆がゼロ平均予測誤差で無限大になることをすべて知っている)および自由市場の環境における最適意思決定の非常に単純化された数学的表現である。

彼らは個人から集約分析に移行しようとすることに内在する集約問題を解決することができないので、彼らは個人がすべて似ている(代表代理人)など企業がすべて似ている(代表会社)などと主張することによってマクロ宇宙を作り出す。マクロは個人のようなものであると考えてください。つまり、構成の誤謬に内在するエラーはすべて優先され、無視されます。

3.彼らはこのアプローチでは現実世界について何も言うことができないので、彼らはデータポイントの並べ替えを可能にするアドホック時系列プロパティ(リレーションシップ、応答などの遅れ)に取り組む。

しかし、これらの「現実の世界」の要素を追加すると、それらが優れていると主張し、権威を主張するための他のアプローチよりも賞賛する特性(ミクロ基盤)は完全に失われます。モデルシミュレーションなどの実際の振る舞いは、もはや純粋な最適化特性(実際には単に理論上の長期的な中立性を主張しているだけ)に左右されません。

It uses “insights from micro-founded DSGE models” (calibrated Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models) based on attempts to aggregate rational, maximising micro behaviour into a representative agent macro but realise that they are “far from being able to integrate such models into a global model at this stage of the development of macro model building” and so they supplement it with the ad hoc use of time series or VAR models (VAR = Vector Autoregressive – no theory just data fitting).
They claim this means their approach:
… falls between fully micro-founded estimated models and purely time series or VAR models … On the one hand, it avoids one of the problems of many fully-estimated macro econo- metric models—unrealistic simulation properties because of difficulties in dealing with simul- taneity problems. On the other hand, by using economic theory as the basis for the model, the approach should be able to outperform global VAR models in forecasting and enable researchers to undertake policy simulations that cannot be addressed by VAR models.
Which you should read as saying that:
1. The so-called micro founded DGSE models are highly simplified mathematical expressions of optimal decision making in an environment of rational expectations (everyone knows everything to infinity with zero average forecasting errors) and free markets.
2. They create a macro universe by claiming that individuals are all alike (representative agent) and firms are all alike (representative firms) etc because they cannot solve the aggregation problem inherent in trying to move from individual to aggregate analysis – so they assume it away and assume the macro is just like the individual – so all errors inherent in the fallacy of compositions prevail and are ignored.
3. They cannot say anything about the real world with this approach so they then tack on ad hoc time series properties (lags in relationships, responses etc) which allow them to sort of fit data points.
4. But in adding these ‘real world’ elements, the properties (micro-foundations) they claim to be superior and which they laud over other approaches to assert authority, are completely lost. The actual behaviour of the model simulations etc are no longer driven by the pure optimising properties (which really just assert some theoretical long-run neutrality).

MMT predicts well – Groupthink in action

This blog will be a bit different from my normal fare. It provides insights into how entrenched a destructive and mindless neo-liberal Groupthink pervades the economics profession. For the last several years I have been on the ‘expert’ panel for the Fairfax press Annual Economic Survey. Essentially, this assembles a group of well-known economists in Australia from the market, academic and institutional (for example, union) sectors and we wax lyrical about what we expect will happen in the year ahead. To be fair, there is a large element of chance in the exercise as there is in all forecasting. So I am never one to criticise when an organisation such as the IMF or the OECD or some bank economist gets a forecast wrong. The future is uncertain and we have no formal grounds for even forming probabilistic estimates, given we cannot even assemble a probability density function (an distributional ordering of all possible events ) to extract these probabilities. So guess work is guess work and you have to be guided by experience and an understanding of how the system operates and the elements within the relevant system interact. What I do rail against is the phenomenon of systematic bias in forecast errors. For example, the IMF always predicts stronger growth than occurs when it is advocating imposing austerity (thereby underestimating the costs of the policy). The systematic bias in their errors is traceable to the flawed models they use to generate the predictions, which, in turn, reflect their ideological slant against government deficits and in favour of fiscal surpluses (as a benchmark). As luck would have it, in the 2016 round of the Fairfax Scope survey, I was fortunate enough to achieve the status of Forecaster of the Year (shared with 2 other members of the panel) – see Scope 2017 economic survey: Stephen Anthony, Bill Mitchell; and Renee Fry-McKibbin tie for forecaster of the year – for detail. I tweeted over the weekend that as a result “MMT predicts well”. There was a lot underlying that three-word Tweet and it intersected with recent events that demonstrate how far gone mainstream macroeconomics is – it is in an advanced state of denial and has lost almost all traction on the real world.
The following graph provides a selection of forecasts (for the indicators I get could more or less comparable results) for the year-ending 2016.
The blue columns are my Fairfax forecasts (provided in early 2016), the red columns are the IMF’s forecasts (the last they made towards the end of 2015 – so not much different information to the set I was exposed to) and the jade is the actual outcome (note the actual real GDP estimate is at September-quarter 2016).
It is clear on several key macroeconomic aggregates, that the IMF approach, which reflects a sort of industry standard among mainstream macroeconomists – is way off the mark.
I could show you earlier years with similar results. The errors that result from the mainstream models that the IMF uses are typically systematic. 
They are usually way too optimistic when they are recommending fiscal cutbacks and way to pessimistic when a government is expanding its fiscal position to stimulate economies.
It usually overestimates wage inflation (because its Phillips curve approach is crippled by the flawed NAIRU concept) and it rarely goes close in guessing government bond market outcomes (because it relies on a flawed understanding of how nations with their own currencies operate).
The IMF approach based on its New Keynesian general equilibrium bias. It uses a number of formal models to generate forecasts which embed the standard mainstream components – micro-founded optimisation; rational expectations, long-run steady-state neutrality.
In February 2014, the Independent Evaluation Office of the IMF published an interesting analysis (BP/14/03) of “how the IMF produces forecasts for use in the World Economic Outlook (WEO) and Article IV consultations” – The IMF/WEO Forecast Process.
The IMF relies on its so-called Global Projection Model (GPM) , as the basis of its World Economic Outlook forecasting updates.
It uses “insights from micro-founded DSGE models” (calibrated Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models) based on attempts to aggregate rational, maximising micro behaviour into a representative agent macro but realise that they are “far from being able to integrate such models into a global model at this stage of the development of macro model building” and so they supplement it with the ad hoc use of time series or VAR models (VAR = Vector Autoregressive – no theory just data fitting).

The actual behaviour of the model simulations etc are no longer driven by the pure optimising properties (which really just assert some theoretical long-run neutrality).
Some of that terminology will be difficult for many readers and I apologise. I just don’t want to write another blog detailing all these concepts.
The point is they think:
1. There is a long-run state where the path of aggregate spending is irrelevant. So fiscal policy cannot change where the economy reaches at some point in the future. They can derive mathematical expressions of that that they impose on the way the model adjusts to a shock (an introduced change).
2. The ad hoc elements (that have nothing to do with optimisation theory) allow the model to have ‘short-run’ dynamics that are different to this long-run, but the adjustment paths always head back to the long-run position.
There is no theoretical authority in this approach. It reflects an ideological position (the way the DSGE model is designed and calibrated) coupled with a crude, data-fitting approach in the short-run.
In general, to fit the real world data, they just make stuff up (residual adjustments – for example – where they just add things to errors to get a closer fit etc).
Please read my blog – When mainstream economists jump the shark and lose it completely – and the links to earlier blogs, for more discussion on this point.
It was in that sense, that I tweeted that ‘MMT predicts well’. In fact, MMT economists have an excellent track record in extrapolating the likely consequences of policy shifts and external shocks.
I invite readers who care to invest the time to go back through my blog where at key points in the last decade I have made statements that are in defiance of the sort of conclusions that the mainstream economists have made – and you will see who was wrong.
I should add that in previous years, Steve Keen has won the Forecaster of the Year title and I have been close. Both academic economists who deploy a non-standard approach heavily influenced by the development of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), although Steve and I focus on different things in our respective academic work.
Think about Japan! The New Keynesians such as Paul Krugman and the more free market mainstream economists (such as hang out at the University of Chicago) predicted terrible things for that nation in the 1990s.
We were led to believe it would inflate badly (because of the growth in the money supply), that the government would run out of money (because bond markets would stop buying debt as the debt level and ratio built up); and that interest rates would go through the roof (because the fiscal deficit was so large).
Result:
1. Low inflation bordering on deflation since the early 1990s.
2. Rising debt ratio – high bid-to-cover ratios in bond auctions – low long-term bond yields (now negative out to 10 years).
3. Rising deficits – but zero or low interest rates since the early 1990s.
4. Relatively low unemployment rates despite a massive property collapse and some natural disasters.
5. The sky above the Japanese islands remains firmly above!
The same goes for the GFC.
As government deficits rose and interest rates fell, notable mainstream economists came out and said that governments would run out of money as bond markets refused to buy debt; that inflation would accelerate and become hyperinflation, that central banks would have to hike interest rates to unprecendent levels to control the inflation as a result of the build up of assets on their balance sheets (expansion of reserves), etc etc.
The MMT economists all were calm.
Nothing along the lines that the mainstream approach predicted happened – they were not even close.

The neo-liberal Groupthink that has rendered mainstream macroeconomics moribund and irrelevant

Which brings me to the next part of the story – the devastating neo-liberal Groupthink that has infiltrated my profession and made it almost irrelevant to any person seeking knowledge.
We talk a lot about ‘fake news’ these days. Well mainstream macroeconomics as taught in universities and practices in international organisations such as the OECD and the IMF and within treasury and central bank departments – is fake knowledge.
Geographers and navigators moved on from their false ‘flat earth’ beliefs once they started to gain an understanding of the way planets form and the physics that govern their relationships and the empirical evidence that emerges from that understanding.
The Flat Earth theorists were beguiled by ships disappearing over the horizon onto to return intact.
Please read my blogs – Flat Earth theory returns – budget aftermath and Flat earth theorists – dumb but sneaky – for more discussion on this point.
The empirical reality of Japan, for example, should be the ships off the horizon wake up point for mainstream macroeconomics.
It should then prompt them to acquire a thorough understanding of the way modern monetary systems operate and the dynamics that govern the relationships between government and non-government.
They would then be able to reconcile the overwhelming empirical evidence that supports from that theoretical understanding.
In the Fairfax report on the Forecaster of the Year (cited above) the journalist noted that my forecast was:
… the closest on record-low wage growth, picking an ultra low 2 per cent, close to the 1.9 per cent recorded in the year to September.
So not only was my forecast an outlier but it was almost exact. I told the journalist that my forecast:
… would have been obvious to anyone who wasn’t seduced by the fairly steady unemployment rate. Underemployment had been climbing, tens of thousands of people had left the workforce who would have once been in it, and what jobs growth there was had been concentrated in part-time jobs that were typically non-unionised where workers had low bargaining power. This year he is predicting wage growth of 1.8 per cent, less than the rate of inflation, meaning earning power will shrink.
The mainstream macroeconomists barely have unemployment in their models – they think it is a voluntary, optimising choice that workers make not to work some times.
Their models do not consider underemployment or the casualisation of the labour market – those real world events are below their DSGE radar.
As a consequence they haven’t a chance of really forecasting these outcomes very accurately (on a regular basis).
The Fairfax article also said that my forecast:
… hit the bullseye on the 10-year bond rate, picking 2.7 per cent, which is where it ended up … [and] … He says the low bond rate was also obvious, given auction data showing queues of traders wanting to buy risk-free assets. For all the talk about the need to attract foreign capital, Australia’s government finds it pretty easy.
If you think that governments can run out of money, you will never really be able to understand the dynamics of bond rates.
Remember all the articles that poured out from mainstream economists in the early days of the GFC predicting sky-rocketing bond yields and governments being crippled by lack of ‘money’?
It was never going to be true but those underlying beliefs cause forecasts to be systematically wrong.
Which brings me to share another personal experience which builds on the recent critique by a UNSW economist of MMT. It was a ridiculous critique – which included libellous claims that MMT economists were cranks, charlatans, snake oil salespersons and the rest of it.
It set up some false straw person challenge to make us look like idiots:
So here’s my challenge to the modern monetary theory crowd. Please state a formal, precise, economic model in which a monetary authority can extract an infinite amount of real resources through seigniorage. Or be quiet.
Of course, no MMT academic has ever claimed that “a monetary authority can extract an infinite amount of real resources through seigniorage”. Read never.
That was a fake claim about us – an untruth, designed to degrade our academic reputation and justify the use of the libellous descriptors.
But it tells you about the state of mainstream macroeconomics.
Here is another interesting example.
Our new MMT textbook will be published later this year by the leading textbook publishers Macmillan Palgrave. 
It will offer a two-semester sequence in Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) from the introduction to the second-year (intermediate) level study. It is built on the introductory book we released earlier last year.
It is much improved on that book and covers a lot more material with some very sophisticated analysis (including the use of mathematics) and topical debates.
But it is faithful to MMT and is very graduated. We do not include anything formal (mathematical) for its own sake. A person with no background in economics will be able to make excellent progress as he/she traverses the 27 chapters in the book.
They will end up with an excellent understanding of the way the monetary system actually operates and appreciate the policy choices available to government and their likely consequences.
We have been through a rather exhaustive process before the publisher issued us with the publishing contract. It is not easy getting such a contract in this sort of market.
Part of that process involves the publisher inviting blind (to us) referees to review our proposal with sample draft chapters. This gives the publisher some idea of the market opportunities, who will take up the book for teaching purposes etc and provides us with feedback from the profession.
We received several reports from the publisher some which were obviously from heterodox economists who were all uniformly positive although the comments were not necessarily all favourable and some of the suggestions for clarification were excellent.
They were in the spirit of open debate – yes, the approach was sound (heterodox, MMT) but this or that could be improved etc.
Several other reports were from mainstream macroeconomists and they were all uniformly antagonistic.
It was clear from reading those reports that our approach offends the basic Groupthink ideology that the mainstream economists adhere to, which provides them with internal succour but renders their capacity to analyse the real world as being close to zero.
The textbook does not consider in any detail theories of unemployment that are built on the optimisation view that unemployment is a choice individuals make between labour and leisure and when the real wage they face is too low, they choose leisure because it delivers maximum utility.’
If that view was correct, then quit rates would be pro-cyclical. In the real world they are firmly counter-cyclical indicating people do not quit jobs at increasing rates when unemployment rises. Quite the opposite.
Why would we include an arcane neo-liberal notion which seeks to deny the involuntary nature of unemployment?
A standard mainstream response is that our general approach is old hat and out of touch with the way that modern macroeconomics is now taught. The mainstream textbooks all conform to the approach that macroeconomic reasoning begins with microeconomics (optimising markets and individuals with rational expectations, etc) and that DSGE modelling is at the core supplemented with time series calibration (as in the IMF approach outlined above).
Apparently, if a textbook does not take that approach they are killing the career prospects of their students in graduate programs, even though hardly anyone goes on to undertake PhDs in economics as a career move.
But reflect on the implications of a world of macroeconomics textbooks all teaching the same micro founded, DSGE approach, which my profession tells us is required.
This is the exact approach that delivers the ridiculous forecasts that the IMF makes continuously.
This is the exact approach that predicted austerity in Greece would lead to rapid growth in 2011 and when the economy collapsed further, the IMF had to admit they had calibrated their model wrongly. Oops.
This is the exact approach that allowed the GFC to build up over several decades and then explode without any of the practitioners of that approach seeing it coming or knowing what to do when it arrived.
Remember the comments made by Nobel Prize winner Robert Lucas Jr (University of Chicago) in his 2003 presidential address to the American Economic Association:
My thesis in this lecture is that macroeconomics in this original sense has succeeded: Its central problem of depression-prevention has been solved, for all practical purposes, and has in fact been solved for many decades. There remain important gains in welfare from better fiscal policies, but I argue that these are gains from providing people with better incentives to work and to save, not from better fine tuning of spending flows. Taking U.S. performance over the past 50 years as a benchmark, the potential for welfare gains from better long-run, supply side policies exceeds by far the potential from further improvements in short-run demand management.
So the ‘business cycle’ was dead and all that governments should do was to further privatise and deregulate.
At the time, the private debt buildup and the pursuit of fiscal surpluses was leading to a perfect storm. Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) economists wrote about the impending crisis even during the 1990s – it was not a matter of if, but when and how bad it would be.
The mainstream with their were blithely unaware.
Those modern New Keynesian models typically didn’t even have a financial sector in them because they didn’t think ‘money mattered’.
It is clear that the mainstream of my profession spend their time propagating a macroeconomics literature that has zero predictive content. We know that because Robert Lucas was wrong – the business cycle was far from dead and just four years later the financial system collapsed and we are still picking up the pieces.
It is no surprise that the mainstream macroeconomic models didn’t predict the crisis – their macroeconomic models assumed stability, did not have financial sectors (banks etc) built into the models, and were underpinned by the biased view that free market would optimally self-regulate.
That is the approach that appears in all the mainstream textbook in macroeconomics.
Our textbook will take a completely different approach.
And it is not surprising that the first point of call for governments in late 2008 who were facing the meltdown of their entire financial and production systems was the so-called outdated approach that MMT economists advocate.
The policy makers didn’t turn to DSGE New Keynesian models – they used an approach that is outlined in our textbook.
One could never understand the last 25 years of Japanese economic history using the approach taken in mainstream macroeconomics textbooks.
One could never understand wage developments in the real world using a rational expectations NAIRU approach which is embedded in all mainstream macroeconomics textbooks.
It is not suprise that they didn’t see the GFC coming and couldn’t explain how to get out of it.
But the neo-liberal Groupthink is so strong and the denial is so pervasive that these characters go through their careers with blinkers on.
When a chink of the real world enters their stultified lives and they realise there is a problem, the denial resonates strongly and some ad hoc rationalisation occurs, followed by historical revision (it won’t be long before they deny the GFC actually occurred).
Times are changing within the economic profession – it will take time. But our book and others that will follow like it will be benchmarks as that change goes through.

Conclusion

A slightly different sort of blog.
That is enough for today!

HISTORY OF MACROECONOMIC THOUGHT

The existence of true uncertainty makes it impossible to optimise or maximise because we simply do not

know the future. Inevitably we undertake decisions by exercising bounded rationality. This might lead us to con-

clude that the safest thing to do is to fall back on opinions and expectations of others. We use conventions and

weight of argument to decide what to do, without knowing if this is optimal.

Some post-Keynesians, in particular Paul Davidson, argue that the future is non-ergodic. What this means is that

even if we had all the probability distributions for past outcomes, these cannot be applied to the future because

the probabilities for the futu re could be, and probably will be, different from those calculated from the past.

The easiest way to think about this

to remember that the future is yet to be created, and no matter what

humans have done in the past, they could choose to do something different in the future. To some degree we

could say that we know quite a lot about the past and even about the present, but we simply cannot know the

future, at least, until it occurs.

Minsky had a slightly different view on uncertainty. The uncertainty we face is over the correctness of our

model of the way the world works. The uncertainty is not just about the data and probabilities, but rather about

the correct model of the world.

We know our model can be wrong. Hence, we build in margins of error and the best margin of safety is to hold

highly liquid assets like cash. It might turn out that our model of the world is wrong, but holding liquid assets

provides a cushion of safety.

jan Robinson used to joke that time exists to keep everything from happening at once. This does capture a

key difference between heterodoxy, which uses the concept of historical time where everything cannot happen

at once, and orthodoxy, which uses the notion of logical time in its rigorous models. In logical time, one can go

backward and forward in time to re-contract in order to get the best deals.

In the Walrasian auctioneer models, the auctioneer takes bids and offers but nothing happens until the equi-

librium price list for all tradeable goods and services is settled. Once equilibrium prices are established, then all

exchanges take place.

This ensures there is no false price trading at disequilibrium prices. In such models, there is no room for money

since there is no reason to postpone purchases to see whether a better opportunity might come along. And there

is no uncertainty because the equilibrium prices reveal all the information that is needed. Effectively, time col-

lapses to the instant during which the exchanges take place. All exchange reduces to barter

By contrast, in heterodoxy, money matters:

We need money to spend, as Clower explains. Money buys goods and goods buy money but goods do not buy

goods.

. We measure success in terms of money. Marx argues that capitalist production takes the form of M-C-P-C'-M':

money (M) is advanced now to buy inputs (C) and produce (P) commodities (C') with an expectation that

these can be sold for more money (M') later.

We can hold money against an uncertain future.

Money is needed to start the production process, to finance spending by both firms and consumers. However,

money also allows one to defer decisions; it is a safe repository that breaks the link between income and spending,

nullifying Say's Law. When uncertainty rises, the demand for liquidity simultaneously rises and there is a growing

gap between the supply and demand for goods and services. Money is never neutral, although in an important

sense it matters more in troubled times

In addition to these functions of money, MMT adds the link between money and sovereign power, which is

largely lacking in other heterodox approaches to money, as well as in orthodoxy. The state also needs to finance its

spending and plays an important role in organising the monetary system to move resources to the public sphere.

Money cannot be neutral for the state either, since currency sovereignty is critically important to ensure that the

not financially constrained.

The neoclassical notion of Ricardian Equivalence cannot hold in the case of a sovereign currency. If a govern

ment spends more or taxes less, it would be irrational for the private sector to cut its own spending in anticipation

state

of future tax hikes.

Modern Schools of Economic Thought

Sovereign governments do not need to raise taxes in the future to pay for spending (or tax cuts) today. And

indeed, they do not do so in the real world. We observe that the normal situation for most sovereign govern-

ments is to run nearly continuous deficits and rarely, if ever, pay down a significant portion of their debt. This is

485

for reasons discussed in Chapter 21.

What matters, in any case, is to run the economy near to continuous full employment of its resources. Any

labour resources not used this year cannot be stockpiled for future use, nor can those labour resources used this

year be somehow paid for by taxes later. Any resources mobilised this year for use in the public sector are paid for

mediately, by cutting cheques or by marking up bank accounts

Ir would be irrational for the private sector to react to greater receipts from government spending by cutting

hack household and business spending. Rather, it is far more rational to increase private spending alongside rising

public spending

These ideas underpin the concept of the Keynesian multiplier. All plausible empirical estimates demonstrate

that there is a multiplier effect, not a Ricardian effect, of government spending.

MMT also teaches that central banks always operate with an overnight interest rate target, which is consistent

with heterodox as well as NMC thinking.

This implies that central banks must coordinate operations with the fiscal authorities, offsetting the effects

of fiscal operations on reserves (either by accommodating bank demand or by paying interest on reserves).

However, all else being equal, budget deficits increase excess reserves that would place downward pressure on

overnight rates, which is precisely the opposite result to that implied by the neoclassical crowding-out theory

Crowding-out theory assumes that there is competition between government borrowing and private bor-

rowing for a limited supply of loanable funds. This completely misunderstands government finance

monetary policy operations. If interest rates do go up in the presence of budget deficits, it is because the central

bank has raised its target rate.

well as

Conclusion

In this chapter we continued our discussion of the history of economic thought by delving more deeply into the

main modern schools of thought. We began with the orthodox approaches, including New Classical, Real Business

Cycle, and New Keynesian. We explained how each developed as a response to perceived weaknesses in the older

Monetarist and IS-LM approaches, and then looked at the weaknesses in each of these approaches. In the next

chapter we will study the current 'synthesis' that attermpts to integrate parts of each of these three schools.

We next discussed in detail the shared fundamental building blocks of the modern heterodox schools of

thought, and briefly contrasted these with the foundations of mainstream, orthodoxy.

HISTORY OF MACROECONOMIC THOUGHT

Endnotes

1. Aggregate income does not depend on distribution unless capital is homogenous with what Marx called a constant organic composition of capital; this requires essentially the same ratio of hours of labour employed directly in production to the hours of labour embodied in the capital used. On the other hand, Keynes has no such problem in the

exposition of the General Theory since he measures everything in labour hours and a nominal wage unit

2. Minsky credited Lucas and the NC approach for recognising that agents in the model have a model of the model.

but he rejected the NC presumption that the model held by agents is the correct one. He argued that in the real

world, everybody knows the model held is wrong. This is why it is prudent to hedge one's bets by building in margins

of safety.

3. If interest is not paid on reserves, the central bank ensures excess reserves are kept near zero while offering treasury

bonds through open market operations as the interest earning alternative. If the central bank pays a rate of interest

on reserves equal to the target rate, there is no need to drain excess reserves by offering bonds.

NATIONAL INCOME, OUTPUT AND EMPLOYMENT DETERMINATION

214

As we have learned, Say's Law denies there can ever be overproduction and unemployment. If consumers

decide to save more, then the firms react to this and produce more investment goods to absorb the saving, There

is total fluidity of resources between sectors, and workers are simply shifted from making, say, iPads to making

investment goods.

Keynes showed that when people save, they do not spend. Further, they give no signal to firms about whon

they will spend in the future and what they will buy then. So, there is a market failure. Firms react to the rising

inventories and cut back output, unable to deal with the uncertainty

There was a theoretical push to reassert Say's Law using the real balance effect as the conduit by which aggre.

gate demand would always adjust to aggregate supply in the 1950s. But major theoretical work by Keynesians

such as Robert Clower (1965) and Axel Leijonhufvud (1968) provided new insights into how we can see the

contribution of Keynes and his demolition of Classical theory. These two authors demonstrated in different ways

how neoclassical models of optimising behaviour were flawed when applied to macroeconomic issues such as

mass unemployment.

Clower (1965) showed that an excess supply in the labour market (unemployment) was not usually accom-

panied by an excess demand elsewhere in the economy, especially in the product market. Excess demands are

expressed in money terms. How could an unemployed worker (who had notional or latent product demands)

signal to an employer (a seller in the product market) their demand intentions? Not via saving in financial terms,

such as holding money and other liquid financial assets.

Leijonhufvud (1968) also noted that involuntary unemployment arises because there is no way that the unem-

ployed workers can signal that they would buy more goods and services if they were to be employed. A particular

firm cannot assume their profit will rise if they hire another worker even though revenue in general will clearly

rise (because there will be higher incomes and higher demand). The market signalling process thus breaks down

and the economy stagnates. Only if the additional workers hired were guaranteed to buy the firm's extra output

could the firm go forward to hire them, because only in that case could the firm be sure that the costs of hiring

the workers would be covered by additional sales revenue."

Conclusion

One of the key elements of Keynes' attacks and his ultimate discrediting of the Classical employment theory was

his identification of what we call the fallacy of composition. We discussed this concept in Chapter 2

Prior to the 1930s, there was no separate study called macroeconomics. The dominant theory of the day,

characterised by the Treasury View, considered macroeconomics to be an exercise in the aggregation of individual

relationships. The economy was thus seen as being just like a household or single firm, only bigger. Accordingly

changes in behaviour or circumstances that might benefit the individual or the firm were automatically claimed

to be of benefit to the overall economy.

The insistence in the Treasury View that wage cuts would cure the mass unemployment that arose during the

1930s' Great Depression symbolised the fact that their reasoning was based on compositional fallacies.

Keynes led the attack on the mainstream by exposing several fallacies of composition. While these types of

logical errors pervade mainstream macroeconomic thinking, there are two famous fallacies of composition in

macroeconomics: (a) the paradox of thrift; and (b) the wage-cutting solution to unemployment.

Our discussion of the macroeconomic demand for labour curve in this chapter also highlights how Classical

employment theory was bedevilled by this problem.

We have considered the Keynes versus Classics debate in some detail in Chapters 12-14 because the

ideas are in dispute in the current era.

14 The Macroeconomic Demand for Labour

215

The mainstream response to the persistent unemployment that has beleaguered most economies for the last

three or more decades is to invoke supply side measures: wage cutting, stricter activity tests for welfare entitle-

ments, relentless training programmes. But this policy approach, which reflects an emphasis on the labour mar-

ket, and particularly the wage rate, falls foul of the fallacy of composition problem.

Policymakers consistently mistake a systemic failure for an individual failure. The main reason that the supply

side approach is flawed is that it fails to recognise that unemployment arises when there are not enough jobs

created to match the desire to work of the willing labour supply. That requires a system-wide policy response to

increase effective demand rather than an individual solution focusing on the characteristics of the unemployed.

4.高橋是清とローズヴェルト 高橋是清は1932年に大蔵大臣に就任する。一方,ローズヴェルトは1933年に大統領に就任している。このように,高橋とローズヴェルトは,ほぼ同じ時期に重要ポストについているが,両氏の目的は同じで大不況で発生した大量失業者の救済である。だが,二人の失業の救済方法は異なる。財政の果たす役割は(1)資源の最適配分効果(2)所得再分配効果(3)経済安定化効果となっているが,既に触れたように,高橋是清は失業の救済方法として(3)の経済安定化効果を選ぶが,ローズヴェルトは(2)の「所得再分配効果」を目指した。ニューディール政策は,大不況後失業して貧困に陥った労働者を公共事業及び社会保障などを通じて人々を救済した。公共事業や社会保障のための資金調達については国債の発行及び累進所得税率の引き上げや大企業への課税が強化された。かくて,ローズヴェルトが導入したニューディール政策によって高額所得者と低額所得者の所得格差が縮まった。事実,図9が示すように,ローズヴェルトが大統領に就任した33年以降,所得上位1%の家計の所得が国民全体の可処分所得に占める割合は下落傾向を示している。このことは,高額所得者と低額所得者の所得格差が縮小していることを意味し,このため,日本とは逆で,大不況によってパレート最適点から左にシフトしてしまった社会的無差別曲線は,ローズヴェルトのニューディール政策によって,図7のI1からI2, I3へとシフトすることになる。これは,言うまでもなく,アメリカの社会厚生(暮らし向き)が上がることを示す。事実,図10が示すように,アメリカにおいて20年代初頭から32年ごろまで自殺率と殺人率ともに上昇傾向にあったが,ニューディール政策以降は下落傾向となっている。したがって,ニューディール政策は人々の暮らし向きを良くするという面で成果をあげたというのが適切な評価と思われる。5.「高橋是清の経済政策」の評価 以上の議論から明らかなように,高橋是清が導入した経済政策(財政・金融政策)はニューディール政策と全く逆で,所得と雇用を押し上げるのに著しい効果をあげたものの,社会厚生すなわち人々の暮らし向きを悪化させた。所得及び雇用の増大効果は「高橋是清の経済政策」の「便益」となる。一方,同氏による財政・金融政策は所得格差を広げ社会厚生を低下させたため,国民の不満が高まり,その不満をそらすべく日本は戦争の道を選び多くの国民の命が失われたのであるが,これは高橋の経済政策によってもたらされた「コスト」となる。この「コスト」が戦前の日本において「便益」を大幅に上回ったというのは明白であろう。高橋是清の経済政策は「戦争」への危険ばかりでなく,今日では国が債務不履行に陥り国家破綻を招くリスクも秘めている 19)。平和で且つ安全に,そして安心して暮らせる持続可能な経済社会を実現するには,「景気の安定」と「所得再分配」を同時に満たす必要があるが,どの国にとっても,これら二つを同時に満たすことは極めて困難であり,今後の経済政策の大きな課題として残る。付論A 合理的バブルの概念はBlanchard and Watson(1982)によって始めて提唱された。一般的に株式市場におけるバブルとはファンダメンタルズから乖離した部分を指すが,彼らはバブルをさらに「合理的バブル」と「非合理的バ
