ECONOMETRICS, MACROECONOMICS AND ECONOMIC POLICY

Selected Papers of Carl F. Christ

Economists of the Twentieth Century series

The late Carl F. Christ, formerly Professor of Economics, Johns Hopkins University, US

Professor Christ’s pioneering contributions to econometrics, monetary and fiscal policies and the government’s budget constraint are thoroughly covered in this volume. Other areas addressed include monetary economics, monetary policy, macroeconomic model building, and the role of the economist in economic policy making. The book also features an original new introduction by the author and a detailed bibliography.

‘Reading this collection is like communicating with an aged uncle and in general, whilst one may find the models a little long in the tooth, the insights Christ offers and the way he approaches macroeconomics make this a volume worth looking at more than once.’
– Geoffrey Williams, The Economic Journal
