Beyond Krugman to Behavioural Keynes

Abstract

John Cochrane appears to concede that Paul Krugman's critique does have some important pillars to be paid attention to. Krugman views Keynesian economics as the best framework for macroeconomics that advocates that it is inadequate aggregate demand that drives recessions, not confusion about relative prices, nor lapses in technical progress, nor voluntary shifts to leisure during times of low real wages.
