En enkel monetaristisk modell av Sveriges ekonomi

Abstract
First in this master thesis some classical dynamic models for macroeconomic systems are presented. Then follow comparisons between keynesian and monetarist models. The greatest part of the thesis deals with different constructions of monetarist models for Sweden in the shape of linear difference equations with constant coefficients. The starting-point has been a well-known examination of the U.S. economy, the so called St.Louis model. <br><br>The accordance between monetary and fiscal actions, export and national income has been examined with reference to the period 1954-71. The estimations of coefficients have been done with maximum-likelihood and least-square identification on a PDP-15 computer. <br><br> In spite of some imperfections in... (More)
