Intertemporal Macroeconomics by Costas Azariadis: A Review
Intertemporal macroeconomics is a branch of economics that studies how economic agents make decisions over time and how these decisions affect aggregate variables such as output, consumption, investment, inflation, and growth. Intertemporal macroeconomics also explores the role of monetary and fiscal policy in dynamic settings and the implications of uncertainty, expectations, and learning for macroeconomic outcomes.
One of the most influential and comprehensive textbooks on intertemporal macroeconomics is Intertemporal Macroeconomics by Costas Azariadis[^1^], a distinguished professor at Washington University in St. Louis[^2^]. The book, first published in 1993, offers a unified and systematic exposition of the key issues, both traditional and new, in dynamic macroeconomics. Based on neoclassical growth theory, the book is designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in macroeconomics and finance.
The book covers a wide range of topics, such as optimal growth, overlapping generations, endogenous growth, business cycles, asset pricing, incomplete markets, money and inflation, fiscal policy, unemployment, development traps, and economic policy coordination. The book also provides a rigorous mathematical treatment of dynamic optimization techniques, such as the calculus of variations, optimal control theory, dynamic programming, and recursive methods. The book includes many exercises and examples to illustrate the main concepts and applications of intertemporal macroeconomics.
A notable feature of the book is that it incorporates some of the most recent developments and innovations in intertemporal macroeconomics at the time of its publication, such as multiple equilibria, sunspot fluctuations, chaos theory, learning mechanisms, endogenous cycles, and stochastic growth models. The book also discusses some of the empirical evidence and challenges for intertemporal macroeconomics, such as testing for rational expectations, measuring productivity shocks, estimating Euler equations, and calibrating dynamic general equilibrium models.
The book is divided into six parts. The first part introduces the basic concepts and tools of intertemporal macroeconomics, such as utility functions, production functions, budget constraints, intertemporal optimization problems, dynamic systems analysis, stability conditions, phase diagrams, saddle paths, and linearization methods. The second part presents the classical models of optimal growth and overlapping generations in discrete and continuous time. The third part examines the sources and consequences of endogenous growth in models with human capital accumulation, increasing returns to scale, technological progress, and innovation. The fourth part analyzes the causes and effects of business cycles in models with exogenous and endogenous fluctuations. The fifth part explores the role and impact of financial markets and monetary policy in intertemporal macroeconomics. The sixth part discusses some extensions and applications of intertemporal macroeconomics to topics such as fiscal policy, unemployment, development traps, and economic policy coordination.
The book is available in PDF format online[^3^]. Chapter 33 of the book focuses on economic policy coordination in a world with multiple countries that interact through trade and capital flows. The chapter studies how different types of shocks (such as demand shocks, supply shocks, monetary shocks) affect the optimal policies of each country and how these policies affect other countries through spillover effects. The chapter also investigates how different degrees of cooperation (such as non-cooperation, aa16f39245
