My Yale dissertation on monetary policy in the United Kingdom
65 treated the determination of monetary aggregates and asset prices as a financial general equilibrium, an approach also used later to study the impact of monetary reform in the United Kingdom. Went on to develop a ‘computable general equilibrium’ trade model in order to examine the static economic costs and benefits of United Kingdom entry into the Common Market. The impact of ‘supply-side shocks’ on inflation in Britain was treated along lines reflecting empirical work at London School of Economies and Political Science, London, United Kingdom by Phillips
and Sargan.
The operation of monetary policy under floating exchange rates has been a major focus of interest. A framework combining rational expectations with ‘auction-price’ financial markets and non-clearing labour markets has been developed and used to analyse the evolution of macroeconomic policy in the United Kingdom since 1979, in work for the Treasury Committee of the Flouse of Commons and in reports for the Brookings Institution, United States of America Current research has focussed on combining forward-looking and strategic behaviour under floating exchange rates. In general I have sought to draw upon recent developments in macroand microeconomic theory to analyse comtemporary problems besetting the British economy.
I am happy to acknowledge the influence of mentors such as J. Tobin, H. Scarf, F. Hahn and H. Johnson and of those contemporaries, at London School of Economies and Political Science, London, United Kingdom and elsewhere, with whom I have published joint work.
