Economist nordamerican de la Universitatea din Chicago,

rationale si a fi transformat analiza macroeconomica si aprofundat
intelegerea politicii economice.
Robert Lucas este liderul scolii numite "Noua
Economie Clasica, o versiune moderna a vechii Scoli de la Chicago. Ipoteza sa

la intronarea unei macroeconomii bazate pe principii neoclasice.
