• Sommario/riassunto: An important recent advance in macroeconomics is the development of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) macromodels. The use of DSGE models to study monetary policy, however, has led to paradoxical and puzzling results on a number of central monetary issues including price determinacy and liquidity effects. In Money, Interest, and Policy, Jean-Pascal Benassy argues that moving from the standard DSGE models - which he calls "Ricardian" because they have the famous "Ricardian equivalence" property-to another, "non-Ricardian" model would resolve many of these issues. A Ricardian model represents a household as a homogeneous family of infinitely ; lived individuals, and Benassy demonstrates that a single modification-the assumption that new agents are born over time (which makes the model non-Ricardian)-can bridge the current gap between monetary intuitions and facts, on one hand, and rigorous modeling, on the other.After comparing Ricardian and non-Ricardian models, Benassy introduces a model that synthesizes the two approaches, incorporating both infinite lives and the birth of new agents. Using this model, he considers a number of issues in monetary policy, including liquidity effects, interest rate rules and price determinacy, global determinacy, the Taylor principle, and the fiscal theory of the price level. Finally, using a simple overlapping generations model, he analyzes optimal monetary and fiscal policies, with a special emphasis on optimal interest rate rules.

• Sommario/riassunto: I climatologi sanno che El Nino e altre anomalie climatiche hanno interrotto i modelli meteorologici nel corso della storia. Ma fino a poco tempo fa, nessuno si era chiesto come questa nuova comprensione del sistema meteorologico globale fosse collegata all'archeologia e alla storia. Siccità, inondazioni, caldo e freddo mettono sotto stress le culture e le costringono ad adattarsi. Cosa determina se si adattano con successo? In che modo questi stress climatici influiscono sulla fiducia di un popolo nelle fondamenta della sua società e sulla legittimità dei suoi ; governanti? Quanto è vulnerabile la nostra stessa società al cambiamento climatico? In questo libro, l'archeologo Brian Fagan mostra che i cambiamenti climatici a breve termine sono stati una forza importante - e finora non riconosciuta - nella storia. La siccità causata da El Nino ha portato al crollo delle dinastie in Egitto; I fallimenti dei monsoni di El Nino hanno causato carestie storiche in India; e le inondazioni di El Nino hanno distrutto intere civiltà in Perù. Altri cambiamenti climatici a breve termine potrebbero aver causato il misterioso abbandono delle abitazioni Anasazi nel sud-ovest americano e il crollo dell'antico impero Maya, oltre a cambiare il corso della storia europea.
