An Interview with Franco Modigliani

These are the page proofs of the interview of Franco Modigliani by William A. Barnett and Robert Solow. The interview was published in the journal, Macroeconomic Dynamics, in 2000. Since William Barnett is one of the two interviewers, he now is permitted, by Cambridge University Press, to make the interview available as a 'working paper.' This interview contains some astonishing revelations about the life of Franco Modigliani, beginning with details of the circumstances regarding his move from Italy to France during the Second World War and his subsequent move to the United States.history of economic thought, Modigliani, Solow, macroeconomics, finance

Life Cycle, Individual Thrift and the Wealth of Nations

This paper provides a review of the theory of the determinants of individual and national thrift that has come to be known as the Life Cycle Hypothesis (LCH) of saving. Applications to some current policy issues are also discussed. Part I deals with the state of the art on the eve of the formulation of the LCH some 30 years ago. Part II sets forth the theoretical foundations of the model in its original formulation and later amendment, calling attention to various implications, distinctive to it and, sometimes, counter-intuitive. It also includes a review of a number of crucial empirical tests, both at the individual and the aggregate level. Part III reviews some applications of LCH to current policy issues, though only in sketchy fashion, as space constraints prevent fuller discussion.Life cycle;
