      Four-rate formula and Exchange-rate Formula?

Four-rate formula explains the mathematical relation of change rate in price, wage, interest rate and GDP (or GNP).

Exchange rate reqlll8888888888formula help to calculate exchange rate between different money with different productivity.

This book introduces a new theory of price system and a general theory of interest rate.

People who edit this page should know something about economics. Do you think that Lucas would have received the nobel prize for simply a suggesting?

Furthermore, New Keysian economics does not provide strong micro foundations to Keysian economics.

Also, these so called schools of economic thought have no bearing on relevant macroeconomics and are very outdated and not used by anyone who knows economics anymore.

Short-run link

I know nothing about economics, but it's not clear to me that link to short-run links to the correct article. It doesn't seem related.

Dr. Dai's comment on this article

Dr. Dai has reviewed this Misplaced Pages page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

1) "The IS–LM model represents the equilibrium in interest rates and output given by the equilibrium in the goods and money markets"
to be replaced by "The IS–LM model represents all the combinations of interest rates and output that ensure the equilibrium in the goods and money markets"
2) "Banks continuously shift the money supply ..." to be changed to "Central banks continuously shift the money supply... "
3) "Some banks allow the interest rate to fluctuate " to be changed to "Some of them allow the interest rate to fluctuate "
4) "implement quantitative easing by buying other assets such as corporate bonds," to be changed as "can implement quantitative easing by buying not only government bonds, but also other assets such as corporate bonds,"
5) "The rigidity of new Keynesian theory" to be replaced by
"The nominal rigidity of new Keynesian theory"

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Here we go again..

What's the point of citing a criticism of macroeconomics in the lead? Right in the beginning it reads,

"evidence regarding the consequences of different macroeconomic policies is still highly imperfect and open to serious criticism."

You know that there are few areas of research that are not open to 'serious criticism'? The whole point of scholarship is that ideas are open to criticism, and knowledge improves by a process of critical analysis. History, sociology, even the natural sciences function this way.

Actually this line is very much in the tradition of certain Misplaced Pages editors going out of their way to single out the discipline of economics as an illegitimate or questionable field of inquiry. There's no problem on here citing other controversial areas of research as fact, but there is certainly a crusade against economics. If it were just an article or two it wouldn't be worth addressing, but this is a reoccurring theme in the economics space.

If you really can't resist criticizing macroeconomics, and you have a sufficient number of reliable sources critiquing it in this way (not just one or two), why not just add a criticism section? The lead is supposed to summarize the main body of the article, and currently there is no section that critiques macroeconomics in this article.Jonathan f1 (talk) 01:27, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Modern Monetary Theory

Why is their no mention of MMT in this article about macro economics? MMT is an important theoretical framework for understanding macro econ. We should at least link to the substantial MMT page in the See Also section, if not devote a section of this article to it. UberFefa (talk) 15:42, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
