Macro map

A guided map for concepts, schools, models, policy, history, and lab work. Each route states the mechanism, evidence, and limits.

Concepts
Output, prices, labor, money, trade, policy, and the mechanisms that connect them.
Schools
Traditions compared through claims, evidence, critiques, and model implications.
Models
Theory-based, empirical, DSGE, and agent-based families. Pick by the question you need answered.
Policy
Tools, channels, lags, constraints, historical cases, data, and failure modes for policy analysis.
World and History
Country atlas and macro history across eras, crises, and policy turns from pre-Keynes to the post-2008 rethink.
Lab
Capability-labeled Macro Lab routes. Empirical Forecasting and Forecast Combination run in beta; DSGE and agent-based runtimes are explicitly gated.
The system view
From individual choices to aggregate outcomes.
Households, firms, government, financial markets, and global flows pass shocks through the economy at different speeds.
Fundamentals
Core mechanisms.
AD-AS Model
Explains how aggregate demand and supply determine price level and output
Phillips Curve
Inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment in the short run
Solow Growth Model
Long-run economic growth driven by capital accumulation and technology
IS-LM Model
Interest rate and output equilibrium in goods and money markets
Taylor Rule
Central bank interest rate response to inflation and output gaps
Schools and history
See why economists disagree.
Keynesian
Emphasizes demand shortfalls, sticky adjustment, and public stabilization when private spending collapses.
Monetarist
Treats monetary stability and expectations as central to inflation control and long-run nominal discipline.
New Classical
Builds from optimizing agents, rational expectations, and market-clearing benchmarks to test policy limits.
New Keynesian
Keeps expectations and optimization, then adds nominal rigidities that give policy a stabilization role.
Austrian
Focuses on credit cycles, relative prices, and how policy can distort intertemporal investment signals.
Post-Keynesian
Centers uncertainty, demand, financial structure, and endogenous money in non-ergodic economies.
Macro Lab
Test the story with data.
Reading, references, guided setup, and configured empirical runs sit on separate routes.
Forecast
Beta
Beta empirical forecasting with imported series, diagnostics, holdout scoring, and explicit method limits.
DSGE
Runtime gated
Reference equations and examples today; structural estimation, IRFs, decompositions, and policy counterfactuals arrive with the gated DSGE runtime.
Agent-Based
Runtime gated
Agent rules and propagation logic today; heterogeneous-agent simulation, paired-seed experiments, and stress tests arrive with the gated runtime.
Combination Forecasting
Beta
Beta ensemble forecasting over compatible source forecasts. Regression-based estimators are weighting methods, not a general regression-analysis lane.
