آیا مدل‏های اقتصاد کلان نیازمند بازسازی هستند؟ تحلیلی روش‏شناختی از ارتباط میان اقتصاد کلان و اقتصاد رفتاری

In macroeconomic models, the relations between macroeconomic variables are studied based on specific explanations. In ‘Behavioral Economics’, the focus is on the behavior of economic agents, and the researchers' goal of studying in this area is to achieve theories with greater predictive power. In this paper, we will seek to understand how these two domains of economics are related together. Our other objective is to understand how macroeconomics needs to use behavioral economics, with an emphasis on some considerations of the methodology of economics. This study is a descriptive survey referring existing studies in macroeconomics and behavioral economics. While we present a new approach to people familiar with traditional macroeconomics, examine the impact of behavioral economics studies on some important issues in macroeconomics. According to the findings of this study, in macroeconomic models, due to factors such as ‘better explanation of variables and higher predictive power’, ‘the need for research method flexibility’, and ‘the effect of unconventional behaviors on macroeconomic outcomes’, more attention should be paid to studies of behavioral economics. Of course, this does not mean mitigating the role of conventional macroeconomic models.
