Abstract

The paper traces the roots of Leif Johansen’s 1960 monograph A Multi-Sectoral Study of Economic Growth, recognized as the first computable general equilibrium (cge) model. Although Johansen might have been much attracted towards a purely theoretical study of a multi-sectoral equilibrium growth process he chose to construct an empirical model, calibrated to fit the Norwegian economy in 1950. Johansen’s Model combined Leontief ’s input-output analysis with Solow-type production functions and a Frisch-influenced specification of consumption demand. His work became influential on the further cge development. Johansen died at the age of 52 in 1982 and is regarded as the (only) intellectual heir of his teachers Ragnar Frisch and Trygve Haavelmo in originality and profoundness.

Leif Johansen多部门模型的建立

本文追溯了1960年Leif Johansen的专著《经济增长的多部门研究》的根源，该专著被认为是第一个可计算的一般均衡(cge)模型。尽管约翰森可能更倾向于对多部门均衡增长过程进行纯理论研究，但他选择构建一个实证模型，并对其进行校准，以适应1950年的挪威经济。Johansen的模型结合了Leontief的投入产出分析、solow型生产函数和frisch影响的消费需求规范。他的工作对ge的进一步发展产生了影响。约翰森于1982年去世，享年52岁，他被认为是他的老师拉格纳·弗里施和特里格夫·哈维尔莫在独创性和深刻性方面的(唯一)知识继承人。

期刊介绍： History of Economic Ideas is a new international series of Quaderni di storia dell''economia politica, a journal founded in 1983 to promote collaboration between scholars who share an historical approach to the major issues, the various "revolutions" which have left their mark on economics and the spread of economic ideas beyond the narrow circle of specialists. History of Economic Ideas rejects the dichotomy between "analysis" and "culture": both aspects are of equal importance for a wider understanding of the subject. In a period such as our own, where paradigms which once seemed unshakeable are now being challenged, a multidisciplinary analysis of the historical development of economics might contribute to shedding light on the issues at the root of current debate. Besides essays and critical surveys, the journal includes archive material and reviews of new books on history of economics. History of Economic Ideas is double-blind peer reviewed.
