Re: Some questions



     Michal Kalecki first used the term "macrodynamics" in a
little-cited but immensely important 1935 Econometrica paper
"A Macrodynamic Theory of Business Cycles,"
on nonlinear business cycles, clearly Keynesian in spirit, but
in fact predating Keynes.  The term "macroeconomics" is due to
Lawrence Klein in a 1946 Econometrica article, "Macroeconomics
and the Theory of Rational Behavior."  Of course Klein would
godfather neoclassical synthesis Keynesian derived macroeconometric
large-scale models.
