Behavioural Macroeconomics and the Aggregate Supply Puzzle

Steinar Holden

Nordic Journal of Political Economy, 2004, vol. 30, 27-35

Abstract: The paper provides a short and simplified overview of important deviations from the economic man assumption that have been documented in research by cognitive psychologists and experimental economists. After the overview, I proceed to look at one specific topic within macroeconomics – the short run aggregate supply schedule – and discuss whether theories based on behavioural assumptions might perhaps resolve weaknesses in the more traditional approach.
