Kuipers\u003c\/em\u003e, addresses a rich variety of coordination issues in  macroeconomics. It contains detailed studies in economic policy,  monetary economics, and growth theory and uses various methodologies  to address the coordination issue: from a pure theoretical to an  empirical econometric approach. It is stressed that modern  macroeconomics should focus on coordination issues. Imperfections of  various kinds are likely to lead to coordination failures, which can  lead to large welfare losses. Macroeconomists should address the  causes and implications of imperfections and failures. In this book  attempts are made to increase our knowledge in this field.\u003cbr\u003e  The book is a tribute to one of the leading Dutch macroeconomists,  Simon K. Kuipers. Simon Kuipers shows a major interest in the theory  of capital (following e.g. Harrod), growth theory (following Solow),  monetary theory (following Tobin), and disequilibrium theory  (following Malinvaud and Benassy). The lines of thought have in common  that they use frictions to explain the functioning of a market  economy. The nature of the frictions varies from pure quantity  rationing, like in the Malinvaud analysis, to imperfect substitution  of various capital goods (like in the vintage models or assets (in the  general monetary equilibrium models proposed by Tobin). Kuipers is not  only interested in pure theoretical contributions, he also stimulates  econometric work in line with the Dutch tradition initiated by  Tinbergen. His applied work relates to policy analysis and policy  prescriptions in many fields, ranging from monetary economics to  distortions in the labour market. Kuipers can be classified as a true  Keynesian, although he admires neoclassical theory for its rigour and  compactness. Better still, he is an eclectic economist with an open  eye for the different schools of thought in macroeconomics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792374763\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1549-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 278\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265711198348,"sku":"9780792374763","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792374763.jpg?v=1770788806","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792374763","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
