We show how time-dependent macroeconomic response follows from microeconomic dynamics using linear response theory and a time-correlation formalism. This theory provides a straightforward approach to time-dependent macroeconomic model construction that preserves the heterogeneity and complex...

The authors solve the IS puzzle for the G7 countries. They find that five of the G7 countries have the expected significant negative relationship between the output gap and the realrate gap; the time series of the remaining two show material deviation from expected IScurve behavior. The authors...

Strong fluctuation phenomena are an endogenous feature of economic systems if they are non-self-averaging. We show that an important consequence of non-self-averaging is that current forms of economic policy can be rendered useless. We also find non-self-averaging both to exist in microeconomic...
