I think this navbox needs some serious rebuild. First of all, we should drop the random list of "Macroeconomists", since there are easily five dozens others that deserve to be mentioned as well. Second, we should drop "Schools", because there's another template for that (not sure why it is named {{ Macroeconomics-footer}}, tho).
Then, the group of "Basic concepts" needs numerous additions: accelerator, aggregate demand, convergence, general equilibrium, government spending, labour supply, market failure, money demand, multiplier, Phillips curve, redistribution of income and wealth, Ricardian equivalence, seigniorage, shock, welfare. There are some more crucial concepts that are relevant to macroeconomics, like rational expectations or life-time income/consumption, but those are rooted in microeconomics.
Also, the group "models" should be sorted, to clarify the relation between the models. For instance, Ramsey–Cass-Koopmans is the baseline model for Real Business Cycle, which in turn is the foundation of New Keynesian DSGE. IS/LM, Harrod-Domar, and others are outdated models, still taught, but no longer in use at Central Banks, etc.
Any other ideas? -- bender235 ( talk) 19:26, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
