Views

The study of disequilibrium theories. Developed a theory of stagflation built up from microeconomic foundations and an explicit aggregation procedure. Stagflation was analysed as the result of the interaction of two effects — a global effect, which is the outcome of aggregate disequilibrium, and a structural effect, which works through the dispersion of market disequilibria around their mean.

Contributed to the theory and empirical analysis of a consumption function with microeconomic foundations. Recent research concerns the introduction of partial price flexibility and indexation into a macromodel of general equilibrium with rationing, and the construction of a nonlinear model of output and employment fluctuations.
