Rebuilding Macroeconomics

After economists and traditional economic models failed to predict the financial crash of 2008, many called for a rethink on how we study macroeconomics - the branch of economics that deals with how the wider economy behaves and which is concerned with issues such as economic growth, inflation, employment and financial stability. This is what led to the creation by the Economic and Social Research Council of a new Network, ‘Rebuilding Macroeconomics’.
