Not Going Away? Microfoundations in the Making of a New Consensus in Macroeconomics

Author

Abstract

Macroeconomics, or the science of fluctuations in aggregate activity, has always been portrayed as a field composed of competing schools of thought and in a somewhat recurrent state of disarray. Nowadays, macroeconomists are proud to announce that a new synthesis characterizes their field: no longer are there fights and disarray, but rather convergence and progress. I want to discuss how modern macroeconomists see the emergence of such a consensus and, therefore, how they see the history of their sub-discipline. In particular, I stress the role played in the making of such a consensus by a particular understanding of the microfoundations that macroeconomics needs.
