Elgar Companion to Neo-Schumpeterian Economics

IS-LM is perhaps the prime example of `cognitive dissonance' in economics, and is problematic to many economists. On the one hand, the IS-LM model is still taught by many academic economists or they use it to derive the AD-AS approach. On the other hand, the same economists realize the limitations of the basic IS-LM model and would not now use it for policy analysis, as they did in the past. The distinction between pedagogical and analytical efficacy is made by all the authors in this volume regarding the IS-LM model.
IS-LM and Modern Macroeconomics
Uncertain Futures considers how economic actors visualize the future and decide how to act in conditions of radical uncertainty.
