(This volume argues that methodologists should pay more at...)
This volume argues that methodologists should pay more attention to the day-to-day problems that practising economists face. Bridging the gap between the abstract work of most methodologists and the problems that concern other economists, this collection of essays illustrates how simple methodological considerations can clarify a series of issues in applied economics. In particular, the author offers a defence of positivism in economics and counters Rosenberg's argument that economics is not an empirical science. Specific essays reassess debates about microfoundations and Ricardian equivalence, consider whether assumptions should be realistic, question whether recent improvements in techniques have helped to resolve the monetarist debate, discuss the role of consumer theory and deal with some key issues in econometric practice.

Liczne swiadectwa z epoki barwnie opisuja wachlarz zrodel dochodu polskiej szlachty. Wsrod naliczonych na kartach tejae pracy siedemdziesieciu, glownym byl oczywiscie folwark. Na folwarku produkowano rozliczne dobra – z miesem i zbozem wlacznie. Innymi zrodlami zyskow były dzialalnosc finansowa i przemysl. O ile zrodla bogactwa byly mniej lub bardziej typowe, wszystkie razem wplywaly na zamoznosc szlachty, ktora to od XVI wieku do XVIII wieku stanowila w Polsce najpotezniejsza klase. Tak jak Bog stworzyl cos z niczego, tak szlachta stworzyla rozne zrodla dochodu z rzeczy danych przez Boga.

Excerpt: ...that she will in time of need Give forth such numbers as you'll not refuse. Impelled by gratitute for kindness shown, I bless my God I now so long have known That sweet connection in which I have stood With you and yours. Thoughts of it make the blood Run freely through my veins; they cheer my mind, Revive my spirits, make me leave behind Vile carking cares, dispel my melancholy, Fire my devotion with desires most holy, Fill my sad soul! Thus am I drawn away, And in imagination soar to-day To those blest regions where my Ann has gone, And feel that even now I'm not alone. For her pure spirit is with mine Holding fellowship divine. Hark! she whispers in the skies, "Let thy prayers to Heaven arise; Let thy songs ascend above; Sing evermore Redeeming Love; For all those who here do enter Cleave to Jesus as their Centre, And we now on holy ground Join in one unceasing round Of purest pleasure, and do raise Our voices in the Saviour's praise And thus throughout Eternity Dwell in sweetest harmony. To all my kindred I would say. Work while 'tis called 'to-day.' Always listen to the voice Of Jesus, and in him rejoice. Make his righteousness your boast, For without it you are lost. Listen now, he calls to-day; Flee, Oh, flee to him away!" She ceased to speak, and back her spirit fled To yon bright Mansions where her Saviour led; And we are left confined in tents of clay, To "groan, being burdened," for Redemption's day. Oh, then, dear parents, let us not forget The "still small voice" of Mercy's speaking yet. Let us put on afresh our heavenly armor, The Christian warfare is but growing warmer. Should our weak courage fail, let us in meekness Look still to him who gives us strength in weakness. And thus...

Although I have sometimes worked in other fields, such as microeconomics and regulation of financial institutions, my main interest has been in applied macroeconomics and in particular in monetary policy. Much of my work has centred on the dispute between Keynesians and monetarists. (My position can be described as a very moderate monetarist or as fellow-traveller of monetarism.) On this issue, as well as on the debate about the permanent income theory, I have tried to synthesise previous work as well as presenting new tests, though I am sceptical of ‘tests’ that try to mimic time-series data.
I have also worked on the question of whether our standard econometric tests are likely to lead to valid results.
My work has been marked by the appli
cations of simple techniques to a variety of problems, frequently with an institutionalist approach. (For example, I have started to work on the question why the Federal Reserve System adopts certain policies.) Economists can be divided into those who are concerned mainly with the development of theorems, and those whose main concern is the explanation of observed events. Belonging to the latter group, I have tried to provide plausible, though far from conclusive evidence, on some problems about which little is known rather than to provide more elegant or general solutions to problems that are more nearly solved.
