Economía conductual y macroeconomía: rumbo a mejores microfundamentos

Neoclassical economics synthesized economic theory, taking the places of other social sciences, earning the qualification of imperialist. This unification made possible to reduce everything to its dissipative units, without losing integrity. During the 1930s, a disruption compromised the paradigm, and the keynesian critic claimed for a macroeconomic understanding of economics. Currently, the insistence on the microfoundation for macroeconomics is questioned. This paper reviews some of these critics and inquires if the problem is the insistence on microfoundations, or the need for empirically rooted micro-foundations. Showing how Keynesian macroeconomics are consistent with psychology and marking the route toward solid a behavioral basis for macroeconomics.
