We show that the equilibrium of the Solow growth model represents the pivotal point of reference for the so-called "New Consensus" model. Taking the mathematical structure of the "Solow-New Consensus" analysis as our starting point, we shall show how switching the positions of the exogenous and endogenous variables leads to very different analytical results, with particular reference to the interpretations of monetary theory and policy.

Abstract

We show that the equilibrium of the Solow growth model represents the pivotal point of reference for the so-called "New Consensus" model. Taking the mathematical structure of the "Solow-New Consensus" analysis as our starting point, we shall show how switching the positions of the exogenous and endogenous variables leads to very different analytical results, with particular reference to the interpretations of monetary theory and policy.
