The article discusses the significance of the field-oriented academic conference series in the U.S. According to the author, the publication was a unique inception in 1970 because it has inspired imitation of the editors Arthur Okun and George Perry who were the first to understand the value of field-oriented academic conference series. Its hostility to the real business cycle model is easier to explain and reflects well on the editors. It has been said that the smaller general-equilibrium models was an easy way to better understand the transition from hostility to the big models to the smaller ones.
