An Interview with David Cass
32 Stephen E. Spear and Randall Wright 2 An Interview with David Cass Interviewed by Stephen E. Spear CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY and Randall Wright UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA February 13, 1998 David Cass is undoubtedly one of the central contributors to modern dynamic economics. His fundamental contributions include work on optimal growth problems, overlapping-generations models, sunspot equilibria, and general equilibrium models with incomplete markets. His research has shaped in profound ways the manner in which we do both micro- and macroeconomics. From laying the foundations of real business-cycle theory via the Cass–Koopmans model, to providing us with general tools and techniques to analyze dynamic economic models, to furthering our under- standing of monetary economics, to making fundamental contributions to the economics of extrinsic uncertainty, Cass’s work has played a major part in the development of much of modern macroeconomic theory. In addition to being a first-class scholar, Cass is also truly his own man and a free spirit of the highest order. In this interview, we tried to gain some insights into the story of David Cass and his approach to economic theory. Also, given the title as well as the intended readership of Macroeconomic Dynamics, we made a real Reprinted from Macroeconomic Dynamics, 2, 1998, 533–558.

Comments should be addressed by email to the author(s). Abstract Sustainability for a society means long-term viability, but also the ability to cope with economic crises and disasters. Just as with natural disasters, we can minimize the chance of them occurring and set in place policies to protect the world’s citizens against their consequences. This paper is concerned with the impact of economic crises on the inequality of resources and with the impact of inequality on the probability of economic crises. Is it the poor who bear the brunt? Or are crises followed by a reversal of previous boom in top incomes? Reversing the question, was the 2007 financial crisis the result of prior increases in inequality? Have previous periods of high inequality led to crises? What can we learn from previous crises – such as those in Nordic countries and the Asian financial crisis? How far can public policy moderate the impact of economic crises? Keywords: Economic crises, Poverty, Inequality. -
Advanced Topics: Theory of Money ∗
Advanced Topics: Theory of money ∗ Francesco Lippi University of Sassari and EIEF flippi‘at’uniss.it November 20, 2013 The class has two parts. The first part describes models where money has value in equilibrium because of explicitly specified frictions. We use these models to discuss optimal monetary policy. Second, we study the propagation of monetary shocks in an economy with sticky prices. We will use continuous-time stochastic processes and optimal-control methods to model infrequent price adjustment by firms. Emphasis will be placed on the solution methods, mostly analytical, and on quantitative applications. We will solve the firm decision problem under different frictions, discuss aggregation of the individual firm decisions within a GE model, and study the propagation of shocks in an economy populated by “inactive” firms. ∗ 1.

Boragan Aruoba and Randall Wright http://ssrn.com/abstract=470905 44 Search, Money and Capital: A Neoclassical Dichotomy S. Boragan¼ Aruoba Randall Wright Department of Economics Department of Economics University of Pennsylvania University of Pennsylvania [email protected] [email protected] September 3, 2003 Abstract Recent work has reduced the gap between search-based monetary theory and main- stream macroeconomics by incorporating into the search model some centralized mar- kets as well as some decentralized markets where money is essential. This paper takes a further step towards this integration by introducing labor, capital and neoclassical …rms. The resulting framework nests the search-theoretic monetary model and a stan- dard neoclassical growth model as special cases. Perhaps surprisingly, it also exhibits a dichotomy: one can determine the equilibrium path for the value of money inde- pendently of the paths of consumption, investment and employment in the centralized market.

Waller for their input, as well as the NSF and the Cleveland Fed for research support. 1 1 Introduction There seems to be a big distance between standard macroeconomics and the branch of monetary theory with explicit microfoundations based on search, or matching, theory. -
Significance Redux
The Journal of Socio-Economics 33 (2004) 665–675 Significance redux Stephen T. Ziliaka,∗, Deirdre N. McCloskeyb,1 a School of Policy Studies, College of Arts and Sciences, Roosevelt University, Chicago, 430 S. Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60605, USA b College of Arts and Science (m/c 198), University of Illinois at Chicago, 601 South Morgan, Chicago, IL 60607-7104, USA Abstract Leading theorists and econometricians agree with our two main points: first, that economic sig- nificance usually has nothing to do with statistical significance and, second, that a supermajority of economists do not explore economic significance in their research. The agreement from Arrow to Zellner on the two main points should by itself change research practice. This paper replies to our critics, showing again that economic significance is what science and citizens want and need. © 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. JEL CODES: C12; C10; B23; A20 Keywords: Hypothesis testing; Statistical significance; Economic significance Science depends on entrepreneurship, and we thank Morris Altman for his. The sympo- sium he has sparked can be important for the future of economics, in showing that the best economists and econometricians seek, after all, economic significance. Kenneth Arrow as early as 1959 dismissed mechanical tests of statistical significance in his search for eco- nomic significance. It took courage: Arrow’s teacher, the amazing Harold Hotelling, had been one of Fisher’s sharpest disciples. Now Arrow is joined by Clive Granger, Graham ∗ Corresponding author.
