Olivier Blanchard has a characteristically informed, lucid essay on the role of DSGE models in macroeconomics, in which he accurately describes the problems with these models but – again characteristically – tries to make peace with both sides, calling for reform of this dominant paradigm rather than tossing the whole thing. I understand his motivations. But what strikes me is just how sad a portrait he offers of the state of macroeconomic theory.
Hereâs how I would approach the issue: by asking how we know that a modeling approach is truly useful. The answer, Iâd suggest, is that we look for surprising successful predictions. General relativity got its big boost when light did, in fact, bend as predicted. The theory of a natural rate of unemployment got a big boost when the Phillips curve turned into clockwise spirals, as predicted, during the stagflation of the 1970s.

Those of us who knew our Hicks, directly or indirectly, seem to have had a real advantage over those who didnât.
Can you say anything comparable about DSGE? Were there any interesting predictions from DSGE models that were validated by events? If there were, Iâm not aware of it.
Yet even while failing to offer any measurable gains in insight, DSGE had the effect of crowding out the stuff that actually did work.
