Introduction to the Zambelli Festschrift

This seven-part Introduction to the contributions of Stefano Zambelli to modern macroeconomic theory and simulations is nothing more than a scratching of the surface of his rich input. In particular, the first and last parts are personal introductions; the middle four parts are reasonably "professional" summaries of his work in the following areas: Frisch's Rocking Horse Does Not Rock, Busy Beavers and the Phillips Machine, solving and simulations of coupled continuous dynamical systems and Sraffian economics. The underpinning theoretical technology is classical computability theory. The penultimate section is a tentative summarizing of the contents of this chapter with the final section, largely, notes on the contributions to this volume.
