Axel Leijonhufvud (1933-)

Axel S. B. Leijonhufvud s-a nascut la Stockholm, Suedia. S-a licentiat la Universitatea din Lund (1960) si Pittsburg (1961) si-a luat doctoratul la Northwestern University (1967). Lucreaza in Departamentul de Economie al UCLA.

Teza sa de doctorat  On Keynesian Economics and the Economics of Keynes (Despre economia keynesiana si economia lui Keynes) a scos in relief diferenta existenta intre ceea ce a spus Keynes si modelele pe care  Hicks, Samuelson si atatia altii construisera si le-au dat drept keynesianism oficial. Astfel ca in textele lui Keynes se gaseste o economie a dezechilibrului, cu o atentie speciala pentru persistenta somajului, in timp ce sintezele elaborate de catre succesorii sai se intorc la obsesia neoclasica pentru echilibru.

Astazi lucreaza in simulari de modele economice pe calculator , in special de modele evolutive.
