My interview with Janet Yellen for Financial Review. Among many fascinating things we discussed, she told me of formal, academic economics: “I think it’s highly relevant, and I don’t really see how you can make effective policy if you don’t have some sort of framework of analysis

Oh dear. Ross Gittins is at it again. Today he claims that while microeconomists take market power seriously, macroeconomists don't. He says: "every macroeconomist assumes–explicitly or implicitly–that market power isn’t a relevant problem." Wrong. 1/🧵 smh.com.au/business/the-e…
