After describing the landscape in macroeconomics and econometrics in Spring 1973 when Robert E. Lucas (1976) first presented his Critique at the inaugural Carnegie-Rochester conference, I add a fourth example based on Sargent and Wallace (1973) to those in section 5 of Lucas’s paper. To portray consequences of Lucas’s Critique, I use it as a vehicle to describe the time inconsistency of optimal plans and their credibility. A theory of government policy affects chains of influence among money creation and inflation rates at different dates. Different theories of policy bring different state vectors in recursive representations of inflation-money-supply outcomes.
