AD-ASモデルで近年のマクロ経済問題を読み解く - Irregular Economist 〜hicksianの経済学学習帳〜

●Charles I. Jones, “Current Macroeconomic Events（pdf）”（A Supplement to Macroeconomics (W.W. Norton, 2008), August 6, 2008）

Abstract
This brief note discusses current macroeconomic events, with special emphasis on the U.S. economy. As the economy softens and inflation continues to rise, we study the events that brought us to this point. In particular, we analyze the macroeconomic implications of the rise in the prices of basic commodities such as oil and corn, the collapse of housing prices, and the financial turmoil of the last year. The final section of the note uses the AS/AD framework of Macroeconomics to help us understand these events and what the future may hold.

石油価格をはじめとした原材料価格の高騰やサブプライム危機を発端とする金融危機がマクロ経済に対してどのような影響を及ぼすと考えられるのか、AD-ASモデルを通じて分析を試みてみましょう、とのこと。
ジョーンズさんといえば経済成長論の入門テキストで有名な方ですね。マクロ経済学のテキストも書いてらっしゃったのですね。
