Main Points to Stress - Macroeconomic problems are coordination problems
- Production plans must mesh with consumption demands
- Incentives must be aligned and capabilities must be exploited
- Incentive problems are knowledge problems and knowledge problems are incentive problems
- Changing circumstances result in disturbances, but the crucial question is one of adjustment
- Feedback and learning through time
Macroeconomic Problems - Errors of Over optimism
- Produce products which nobody wants
- Errors of Over pessimism
- Don’t product products which people want
- Capital goods are allocated incorrectly; capital investments are inappropriate; labor is misallocated; and as a result the economy underperformed from the point of view of realizing the mutual gains from exchange, employing resources efficiently, and satisfying the demands of consumer sovereignty.
What is the solution to these problems? - Classical
- Keynesian
- Government correctives
- Fiscal policy
- Mix of fiscal and monetary policy
- After Keynes
Fiscal Policy Versus Monetary Policy as a Corrective - Liquidity trap makes monetary policy ineffective
- Crowding out makes fiscal policy ineffective
Neo-Keynesian Synthesis - Goods Market equilibrium; Money Market equilibrium
What is Wrong With this Picture? - Unconnected to the Choices of Individuals
- Labor Market
- Capital Market

- Capital Goods Market
- Time and the Process of Production
- Complementarity and Substitutability in the chain of production
Labor Market Response - Workers do not persistently suffer from money illusion

- Bayesian Learning
- Expectations on underlying distribution
- Methodological Rule --- economist cannot assume a level of knowledge greater than the participants in the economy
- Equilibrium Theory of the Business Cycle
- Monetary Neutrality and Market clearing
- Noise and disturbances to the system (signal extraction)

- Aggregate economics unconnected to choice

- Injection effects through Relative price adjustments
- Capital Structure
- Heterogeneous and multi-specific goods
- Capital maintenance and entrepreneurial decision making
- Intertemporal Coordination and Monetary mechanism
- Interest rates as signals between present and future
- Complimentarity of Capital and Labor

Critique of ABCT - Theory
- Bias error and bias toward particularly costly errors
