Views
Fluctuations in output and employment with particular reference to the United States of America and the United Kingdom (this was extended in an early study of inflation). Exploration of the ground between Keynesianism and monetarism, leading to the revival of interest in Robertson’s non-Walrasian monetarism. The relationship between difference branches of economics with an extension of work into price theory, regional economics, including fiscal federalism, and international monetary adjustments.
The respective roles of the market and the State. The basis in welfare economies of policy recommendations, with welfare programmes in Britain and other countries as one field of application.
