                                                                     models : a historical perspective"

Résumé : In this paper, we trace the rise of heterogeneous household models in mainstream macroeconomics from the turn of the 1980s to the early 2000s, at the moment when this set of models became an identifiable consistent literature. We show that different communities across the US and Europe considered heterogeneous agents for various reasons and in models that differed in their theoretical and empirical strategies. Minnesota economists mostly focused on the addition of ex post or stochastic heterogeneity in general equilibrium models. Other researchers refined growth models or tried to find alternatives to the permanent income hypothesis, and in doing so, investigated more structural types of heterogeneity. We document the computational challenges all these communities faced, how they gradually became aware of each other’s work, and how they faced criticisms from macro- and microeconomists, many of them trained in European countries and dissatisfied with the theoretical and empirical aggregation strategies underlying those models.
