Irving Fisher and modern macroeconomics

Article Abstract:

Irving Fisher was a major influence in modern economics. In the 1920s, Fisher was the most cited author on the subjects of business cycles and money. He was replaced by John Maynard Keynes in the 1940s but his works served as the bases of modern macroeconomics. Examples of such works are 'The Rate of Interest' in 1907 and 'The Theory of Interest' in 1930. The two-period intertemporal-optimization diagram in the two works was used in the development of permanent-income and life-cycle consumption theories.
