Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of macroeconomics, specifically focusing on how individuals make decisions about their spending and work habits over time. The author challenges a fundamental assumption of many classical economic models: that people's choices about consumption and leisure are always rational and driven by an unchanging desire to maximize their well-being. By analyzing data from the U.S. economy, the author investigates whether observed patterns in spending and work hours are truly consistent with this idea of continuous optimization. The book utilizes a sophisticated econometric approach to test the validity of this assumption. The author analyzes three key economic relationships: the trade-off between present and future consumption, the trade-off between present and future leisure, and the relationship between consumption and leisure in a single period. The results, however, are far from conclusive. The data persistently reject the theoretical predictions of a simple model based on continuous optimization. The author meticulously explores alternative explanations for this discrepancy, including issues of data measurement, the complexity of individual preferences, and the influence of changing economic conditions. The book's findings ultimately question the prevailing assumption of continuous optimization in macroeconomics, offering a compelling argument for reevaluating our understanding of how people make choices in a dynamic economic environment.
