In this book, Jean-Pascal Benassy attempts to integrate into a single unified framework dynamic macroeconomic models reflecting such diverse lines of thought as general equilibrium theory, imperfect competition, Keynesian theory, and rational expectations. He begins with a simple microeconomic synthesis of imperfect competition and nonclearing markets in general equilibrium under rational expectations. He then applies this framework to a large number of dynamic macroeconomic models, covering such topics as persistent unemployment, endogenous growth, and optimal fiscal-monetary policies. The macroeconomic methodology he uses is similar in spirit to that of the popular real business cycles theory, but the scope is much wider. All of the models are solved "by hand," making the underlying economic mechanisms particularly clear.

I have devoted most of my research to the microeconomic foundations of macroeconomics in situations where all markets do not clear, with emphasis on both the microeconomic theory of nonWalrasian equilibria and their macroeconomic applications. My early work developed the microeconomic aspects of the theory: functioning of non-clearing markets, the formation of quantity signals, a general theory of rational demand and supply behaviour under quantity rationing, price setting by decentralised agents outside Walrasian equilibrium, and the effects of expectations — notably quantity expectations — on current outcomes. Though the above concepts can also be used to study dynamics, a main contribution has been the development of several concepts of non-Walrasian equilibrium, with varying degrees of price rigidity.
These include, notably, a fix-price equilibrium, and an equilibrium with endogenous price-making where decentralised agents set prices in a framework of imperfect competition. In all these concepts, general schemes for formulating price and quantity expectations are explicitly incorporated.
In later work, I applied the above concepts to a number of traditional macroeconomic topics such as unemployment, inflation, IS-LM, international trade and tariffs, business cycles and a few others, emphasising in particular the policy implications of the theory. My current research deals with macroeconomic implications of various price and expectations schemes, as well as with further development of the microeconomic foundations of price and expectations formation out of Walrasian equilibrium.
