It is not intended to forecast or estimate the quantitative impact of alternative government policies but aims to convey quantitative ideas about the structure and dynamics of the U.S. economy. The book can be viewed as a status report on the condition of macroeconometric theory and its econometric implementation, an accurate representation of the economy can only be achieved by combining theory with available data. This book offers a self-contained system, treating only logically endogenous variables, which makes it unique as it does not require supplementing with other works to make sense. It illustrates the state of the modeling art and the structure of the economy with minimum necessary complexity, addressing issues of imperfect and ill-suited data and the need for compromises in equation specification. By presenting a model that is not a set of linear equations, the author raises problems of interpretation. It demonstrates that economic behavior is seldom linear and that multipliers are not constant but rather depend on the values of all variables. The author concludes that a non-linear model, while computationally more intensive, provides a more accurate representation of the economy.
