Abstract

Bent Hansen’s The Economic Theory of Fiscal Policy contains a macroeconomic model, based on optimising agents, to analyse how fiscal policy can be used to secure full employment and a constant value of money.

The role of and the modelling of monetary policy is treated, and the possibility of implementing the policy.
