Some Mathematical Aspects of Macroeconomics

This paper is presented in honour of Professor Kirit S. Parikh, currently at IRADE, Delhi, India. It constitutes the author’s contribution to the Festschrift on the occasion of Prof. Parikh’s 85th Birthday. Both, Prof. Parikh and the author once worked in a building called Yojana Bhavan in Delhi; he was in the Delhi Unit of the Indian Statistical Institute on the top floor of the building, and the author was a consultant to the Planning Commission on the bottom floor. In those days, both were “card carrying members” of the “computing fraternity” (because we carried boxes of punched cards to and from computer centres!).
