Makroekonomista jako naukowiec i inżynier

• Autorzy: N. Gregory Mankiw

Abstrakty

Autor przedstawia krótką historię makroekonomii: w jego ocenie ewolucja tej dyscypliny dokonywała się dzięki wysiłkom dwóch grup makroekonomistów: tych, którzy swoją dyscyplinę uznawali za rodzaj inżynierii, i tych, którzy woleli widzieć w niej naukę. Inżynierowie są przede wszystkim ukierunkowani na rozwiązywanie problemów. Celem naukowców jest zaś zrozumienie jak funkcjonuje świat. Zdaniem autora te dwa motywy, choć ze zróżnicowanym nasileniem w różnych okresach, kierowały wysiłkami badawczymi makroekonomistów. Pierwsi makroekonomiści byli inżynierami próbującymi rozwiązywać praktyczne problemy, natomiast ich koledzy po fachu, w ostatnich kilku dekadach, bardziej interesowali się doskonaleniem narzędzi analitycznych i formułowaniem praw teoretycznych.
