Public Sticky notes
Under the unit-root hypothesis, which I thought was well established, I see the attempt to do macroeconometrics as basically hopeless. The way I see it, with a unit root, every change is a structural change. As a result, there is no way to use macroeconomic data from different decades as if they allowed you to conduct a controlled experiment.
