Working Paper
Conference paperOn the Role of Theory and Evidence in Macroeconomics
Apr 2010
This paper, which is prepared for the Inagural Conference of the Institute for New Economic Thinking in King’s College, Cambridge, 8-11 April 2010, questions the preeminence of theory over empirics in economics and argues that empirical econometrics needs to be given a more important and independent role in economic analysis, not only to have some confidence in the soundness of our empirical inferences, but to uncover empirical regularities that can serve as a basis for new economic thinking.

Conference paperLife after “Rational Expectations”? Imperfect Knowledge, Behavioral Insights and the Social Context

Conference paperEfficient Markets: Fictions and Reality
Apr 2010
Eugene Fama, one of the founders of the so-called “Efficient Markets Hypothesis” (EMH), articulated early on the basic narrative that underpins it: “competition… among the many [rational] intelligent participants [would result in an] efficient market at any point in time [in which] the actual price of a security will be a good estimate of its intrinsic value” (Fama, 1965, p. 56).

Conference paperGeorge Soros: The Living History of the Last 30 years
Apr 2010

Conference paperInterpreting the Great Depression: Hayek versus Keynes
Apr 2010
This is not intended to be a purely historical paper. I am interested in the light the Keynesian and Hayekian interpretations of the Great Depression throw on the causes of the Great Recession of 2007-9 and in the policy relevance of the two positions to the management of today’s globalizing economy.
