GENETICS AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES by Gardner Lindzey ,. THIS brief paper is intended to accomplish three things: (1) It will cite some of the evidence of substantial interest among social scientists in research and formulations dealing with the genetics of behavior. (2) It will outline briefly some illustrative areas where a knowledge of genetics, or genetics of behavior research, has made some contribution to social science or might reasonably be expected to make such a contribution in the future. (3) It will summarize some activities of the Council's Committee on Genetics and Behavior 1 that are intended to facilitate advances in this area. A number of recent developments suggest a growing interest in the implications of genetics for the social sciences. Among these are: (a) two summer conferences on behavior genetics-supported by the National Science Foundation, organized by Benson Ginzburg of the University of Chicago, Jerry Hirsch who served as chairman, Howard Hunt of Columbia University, and Gerald E. McClearn, and held at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences; (b) a recent conference on human genetics of behavior, arranged by Steven G. Vandenberg of the University of Louisville and supported by the National Institute of Mental Health; (c) a grow• This paper is a modified version of a talk presented to the board of directors of the Social Science Research Council at its annual meeting in September 1962. Preparation of the paper was facilitated by grants from the Ford Foundation and the National Institute of Mental Health, and it was written while the author was in residence at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. I am particularly grateful for the helpful suggestions of David A. Hamburg. 1 The members of the committee are Gardner Lindzey, University of Texas (chairman); Ernst W. Caspari, University of Rochester; Theodosius Dobzhansky, Rockefeller Institute; David A. Hamburg, Stanford University; Jerry Hirsch, University of Illinois; Gerald E.

ing number of courses on genetics of behavior or behavior genetics at major universities in the past five years; (d) recent publications devoted in part or wholly to reporting or surveying research dealing with genetics and behavior, the most important of which is Behavior Genetics, by Fuller and Thompson.2 A comparison of this volume with the last similar review 8 makes clear a rapid acceleration of research activity in this area. Indeed, it seems safe to say that among comparative and physiological psychologists, physical anthropologists, and psychiatrists there is now extensive interest in the genetics of behavior. Moreover, in recent years occasional evidence of comparable interests on the part of personality and social psychologists and sociologists has appeared. An excellent overview of many of the developments lying behind these activities may be found in Dobzhansky's Mankind Evolving. 4 The question why there should now be this increased interest poses a challenge for the sociologist of knowledge, but it is a challenge we shall skirt, aside from a few passing observations. One of the seductive qualities of the area of genetics of behavior lies in the enormous advances-theoretical, instrumental, empirical-that have been made within genetics in a mere five or six decades. These developments have no parallel in any behavioral science and they have led to the emergence of a set of tools, techniques, designs, and concepts that offer unusual power to the behavioral scientist who finds them 2 John L. Fuller and William R. Thompson, Behavior Genetics, New York: John Wiley &: Sons, 1960. 8 Calvin S. Hall, "The Genetics of Behavior," in S. S.

pended to empirical generalizations, or laws, concerning behavior in much the same way that age, sex, religion, socioeconomic status, and similar variables are now used. Just as the competent behavioral scientist attempts __ to sample, or study, variation in socioeconomic status, religion and age, so should the investigator have a responsibility for sampling the genotype. Brunswik 5 made an enduring contribution to design of behavioral research by showing that traditional sampling of subjects ignored the importance of sampling objects or situations and thus produced findings that could be generalized from one subject to another but not from one situation to another. A crucial task for the future is to demonstrate that adequate experimental design often demands that population sampling be expanded to embrace biological (genotype) sampling as well as traditional demographic variables, in essence to promote recognition of the importance of biological variation for behavioral laws. The genetic concept of pleitropism (multiple effects from a single gene) and a host of empirical findings, showing covariation between genotype and behavior, make it clear that a science of behavior that ignores genetic variation sets marked limits on the progress it can hope to make. In other words, in a variety of behavioral domains the investigator who chooses to ignore (neither controlling nor systematically varying) genetic variation makes unnecessarily difficult the task of understanding and controlling the phenomena he is studying. While it is relatively easy to make a compelling case for the importance of a genetic parameter in the study of behavior, one should remember that the singular significance of such a source of variation will depend on a number of identifiable conditions: (1) Depending on the organism under study, the genetic parameter may be easy to control and essential, or much more difficult to control and perhaps not quite so essential. Such a continuum of ease of controlling or studying genetic variation is represented by drosophila, mouse, rat, primate, and man. It would be much more difficult to understand, and to justify, indifference to the genetic parameter in the case of drosophila and mice than in that of human beings. (2) The nature of the response process under investigation certainly influences the relevance of genetic variation. The behavioral scientist who is concerned with complex institutional outgrowths of behavior-such as religion, economic change, or international relations-may find it much more difficult to introduce genetic variation into his research designs, and indeed to make a rational case for the importance of genetic variation, than one who is concerned with Mongolism,

relevant to his work. Moreover, few would question that in the past the predominant values of American social scientists have strongly emphasized plasticity of behavior, social amelioration, and the overriding importance of environmental variation as a determinant of behavior. Consequently, a heightening of interest among contemporary social scientists in genetic variation may be viewed as a partial compensation for excesses of the past. It is paradoxical that one of the factors that contributes to the vigorous activity in this area is just this insularity of American social scientists in regard to genetic determinants of behavior. This long-standing scotoma has left vast gaps in information about the discipline of genetics, as well as striking empirical voids. Consequently, there appear to be more evident and important problems waiting to be attacked here than in many other major research areas. Questions pertaining to genetic determinants of behavior are in many cases so untouched that investigators are still looking for main effects rather than attempting to fill in the missing points on a relatively well-understood function. All this tends to give an air of excitement, novelty, and challenge to research in the area, and this is in marked contrast to some sectors of the social science world. A final factor that may have led to the increased research activity is the ubiquitous acceptance by geneticists of the essential contributions of environmental variation. Whatever may have been true in the past, the well-trained geneticist today consistently views the genotype as influencing behavior only in interaction with environmental determinants. One may fairly state that the most fascinating problems in this general domain have to do with interactions of genotype and environment. More important than the question why we now see a resurgence of interest in genetics and behavior is the question of what benefits to social science may reasonably be expected from this development. The following discussion of potential areas of interaction between genetic and social science research problems is neither exhaustive nor representative; it may be considered nothing more than an arbitrary selection intended to illustrate the diversity or breadth of potential interactions, and also to include both areas where there are already solid accomplishments and areas where even the future possibility of such accomplishments is very much in dispute. GENETIC VARIATION AS A GENERAL PARAMETER IN THE STUDY OF BEHAVIOR

Virtually all scientists working in this area are personally committed to demonstrating the fundamental importance of a genetic parameter that must be ap-

difficulties or dangers in attempting to construct laws or generalizations that can be applied confidently to all or most organisms. It is not surprising that many defenders of an idiographic approach to the study of behavior have attempted to strengthen their position by pointing out that what we know of human biology indicates the virtual certainty that no two individuals are genetically identical, excepting the special and infrequent instance of identical twins. But demonstration that there is no likelihood of genetic identity of individuals does little more than introduce the real problem. No sentient student of behavior would deny the fact of individual uniqueness; the essential question is how far one can advance while ignoring this uniqueness, and what steps can be taken to incorporate it in research and theoretical formulations. The major contribution of genetics of behavior research to resolution of this problem is related to the methods and techniques that permit one to examine findings against a background of genetic variation, to ascertain whether the differences in behavior associated with particular kinds or degrees of genetic variation are so profound that it would be relatively useless to attempt to generalize across the different groups of subjects. For example, if we examine the function linking two variables (let us say anxiety and sociability, or hours of deprivation and rate of conditioning) in many different genotypes and it remains constant or involves only minor deviations, we may conclude with some confidence that the finding can be generalized widely without undue concern for genetic differences. The point is that one can never know this without actually studying genetic variation, and the findings in past research suggest that in many cases the association between two variables or conditions does not remain constant, or nearly so, in the face of genetic variation. No one argues seriously that findings can be generalized without limit from one species to another, and it is well understood that the differences between species that make such generalization hazardous have to do with characteristics that are under genetic control. Yet some of the behavioral scientists who are most apprehensive about generalizations across species show least concern for the possibility that genetic variation within a species may necessitate attention to the limits of generalization. It seems at least possible that among human subjects as well as among other animals there are structural, qualitative, or type differences that would make difficult the construction of valid and nontrivial laws that would apply to all categories of individuals. Research in behavior genetics is certain to examine this likelihood, and in the most fortunate of instances might

intelligence, or even personality organization. (3) Another consideration is the relevance of evolution to the discipline or empirical area involved. In those areas where behavior is consistently placed in an evolutionary framework, where the formulations of Darwin are considered highly relevant to a full understanding of behavior, it is almost inevitable that the investigator will be concerned with genetic variation, genetic changes over time, and particular selection pressures. (4) There is also the general empirical and theoretical state of development within the area in question. In a domain where elegant and highly rigorous experimentation is possible (for example, sensory and comparative psychology) and where theoretical formulation has sufficient precision to permi t the specification of a variety of well-understood parameters, neglect of biological variation as one of these is less excusable. On the other hand, in areas where experimentation is the exception rather than the rule, where formulation is seldom formally precise, and variables are seldom given adequate coordinating definitions, it is difficult to see just how the genetic parameter could improve things and easy to understand why investigators have not paid much attention to this source of variation. One may conclude that the importance of controlling or studying genetic variation when studying behavior is ubiquitous, although in certain areas genetic variation plays a more indispensable role than in others. The least that the sophisticated investigator should be capable of is a clear and explicit account of the strategic basis for ignoring genetic variation, if such is his decision. LIMITS TO GENERALITY

A classic polarity that on occasion has threatened to sunder some social sciences is the issue of how broadly one can generalize across groups, types, or classes of individuals. Sometimes this issue appears as a matter of emphasis on the exclusive importance of individual uniqueness; on other occasions it is formulated as an opposition between the nomothetic and idiographic methods (recently referred to as one of the "hardiest perennial weeds in the garden of psychology" 8); on still others it may be phrased in terms of the need for a typological or "personological" approach to the study of behavior. In all these cases the defenders of individuality and the idiographic approach-however fumbling, poetical, or unconvincing their arguments-share, sometimes unknowingly, a concern for a biological truism: the essential uniqueness of all living organisms and the 6 Robert R. Holt, "Individuality and Generalization in the Psychology of Personality," Journal Of Personality, 50:577-404, 1962.

is a belief that powerfully motivates some social scientists and for them the study of genetics of behavior must have a special zest.

even provide a basis for classifying subjects into groups that could' be fruitfully treated as comparable or belonging to the same class. It seems clear that in many areas of human research an investigator who studied subjects of distinctive genetic endowment-producing, for example, Down's Syndrome (Mongolism), sensory deficiencies, or intellectual impairment-and attempted to generalize his findings broadly would encounter enormous difficulties. The situation is even clearer in the case of behavior of lower animals. If the same experimental treatment (gentling) produces no effect on rate of learning with one genotype and a highly significant increase in the rate of learning in another genotype,7 or if infantile trauma has one effect with this genotype and another effect with another, 8 it seems clear that empirical statements must be linked with the genetic substrate of the subjects, so that the findings may not lead to faulty generalization.

BEHAVIOR PATHOLOGY

The study of abnormalities or pathological deviations in behavior is important not only because of the prevalence of the disorders and the social problems they create, but also because such study has contributed greatly to the understanding of normal behavior. Many of the empirical generalizations and theories that are applied widely in the social sciences owe their origin to the study of mentally disturbed subjects. More research on the human genetics of behavior has been conducted in this area than in any other, and has led to impressive results in many cases. 9 Here we shall mention three types of inquiry that illustrate both their diversity and the varying degrees of progress that have been made. One of the most impressive outcomes of genetic studies of pathology can be observed in connection with phenyketonuria a severe form of mental deficiency. This disorder has been known for some years to be controlled by a single recessive gene, and more recently it has been shown to involve an "inborn error of metabolism" linked to the amino acid phenyalanine. Once this deficiency in the normal metabolic process had been â&#x20AC;˘ identified, it proved possible largely to prevent this type â&#x20AC;˘ of mental retardation by introducing appropriate environmental variation (a diet minimizing intake of phenyalanine) very early in life. This is not only an instance where genetic study has provided the basis for a thorough understanding of a socially significant form of behavior pathology, but also one showing clearly that genetic determination does not necessarily imply immutability or the existence of a fixed characteristic. In this case, identification of the genetic process and associated physiological mechanisms provided the basis for prompt and efficient environmental control of the trait or character. A second interesting example is Down's Syndrome (Mongolism) which, as a result of cytological advances, is now definitely known to be genetically controlled. The multiple deviations in behavior that characterize this disorder are typically associated with trisomy or translocation involving the 21st chromosome. This relatively recent discovery has not yet led to a full integration of previously discovered correlates of the disorder or to identification of the underlying physiological and biochemical mechanisms. There seems little doubt, however, that such a firm cytological finding will en-

UNITY (PYRAMID) OF SCIENCE In spite of harsh encounters in the past with biological reductionism, many behavioral scientists continue to display considerable interest in the integration of concepts, findings, and formulations that have been developed in the various disciplines concerned with behavior. The methodological sophistication of behavioral scientists has increased to a point where they no longer need fear that their entire area of concern may be engulfed by, for example, molecular biology or physiological genetics. The limits of reductionism are now sufficiently well understood so that such effort (whether involving biological, psychological, or social reduction) no longer warrants serious thought. Given this greater intellectual freedom, it is easier for the social scientist to recognize that there may be potential gains from placing the concepts, problems, and methods of his discipline beside comparable elements within the biological sciences. Aside from the objective gains for the investigator who uses the methods, designs, and concepts of genetics in studying behavior, it is obvious that linking genetic formulations and findings with those from other sciences concerned with behavior serves concretely to bring together important parts of the pyramid of sciences. While an interest in the eventual emergence of a coherent pyramid of science is considered by many to be an illusory premise or a kind of religious belief, still it

the joint contributions of both environmental and genetic variation. Perhaps the most obvious implication of what has just been said is that the investigator or theorist concerned with this disorder would be unwise not to give careful consideration to the potential role of genetic variation. In fact, the firmest evidence in regard to determinants of schizophrenia implicates hereditary factors. Moreover, it seems clear that the person with reasonable sophistication in both social science and genetics is better prepared to appraise the strengths and flaws of existing data and, more important, to specify the kinds of evidence needed to provide unambiguous information concerning the heritability of the disorder. Finally, it is altogether possible that appropriately designed genetic studies may yield results that question the utility of the concept of schizophrenia or suggest the value of narrowing its range of reference and using it in combination with other concepts, as suggested by Meehl.

courage and facilitate research that should eventually produce a general understanding of the disease process and possibly a basis for its prevention or amelioration. The third example we have chosen is schizophrenia. Here is a diagnostic entity where neither the underlying mechanism nor the genetic process is fully understood, but a great deal of behavior genetic research has yielded some relevant findings. The disorder itself has been the focus of enormous interest on the part of psychiatrists, psychologists, and other social scientists because of its high frequency and bizarre and diverse manifestations. Indeed, whether schizophrenia is considered as societal problem or social science enigma, it ranks among the foremost of these in our time. A number of studies of genetic determinants of schizophrenia have used the proband method, as well as the comparison of concordance rates (same diagnosis) in dizygotic and monozygotic twins. Almost all have produced evidence supporting genetic variation as an important determinant of the disorder. There are, of course, significant criticisms that can be raised against these studies,IO but the general tenor of the evidence seems unmistakable. Indeed, Meehl after a careful survey of the relevant data concluded, "I would argue that the concordance rates in the twin studies need not be accepted uncritically as highly precise parameter estimates in order for us to say that their magnitudes represent the most important piece of etiological information we possess about schizophrenia." 11 In spite of the many consistencies in the data that have been collected, there is little agreement in regard to the mode of inheritance or even the general role of hereditary determinants. For example, Kallman 12 interprets the findings as consistent with a single (mutant) gene recessive genetic model, while Book 13 and others lean toward a single dominant gene model, and many observers (d. Fuller and Thompson) have inclined toward polygenic determination. It should be noted that in relation to schizophrenia, as with other topics, the formulation of heredity versus environment as a radical dichotomy is hopelessly obsolete and obstructs research progress. Investigators of schizophrenia are beginning to move away from such formulations and to show a more reasonable interest in

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF LEARNING Theories of learning that have emerged largely from laboratory experimentation represent, with psychoanalytic theory, the most exportable psychological commodity that has yet been produced. It is interesting, therefore, that in recent years some of the generalizations most frequently encountered in the literature on learning have appeared to be at least partially limited by the genotype of the subjects to which they are applied. As a result of selection studies,14 comparison of "homozygous strains" of animals,15 and hybridization studies,lo it is clear that at least in lower animals the rate of learning, the absolute level of performance, and the role of many determinants of learning are all influenced by genetic variation. As Hirsch 17 and others have argued, there is growing evidence that full understanding of the learning process will be achieved only when genetic variation has been given explicit and systematic treatment. RACE DIFFERENCES IN BEHAVIOR No area of research in the social sciences has led to more prolonged and acrimonious debate than the study

of racial differences. This is clearly a domain where appropriate design of research and accurate interpretation of data demand an understanding of modem genetic concepts. Indeed, in recent years, primarily under the influence of physical anthropologists, the technical use of the term race has come more and more to be linked by definition to variation in gene frequencies. IS Adequate comprehension of the masses of data collected because of an interest in this problem demands not only social science sophistication but also an understanding of the fundamentals of population genetics-of genetic drift, assortative mating, selection pressure, and kindred concepts. While reasonable sophistication concerning these concepts does not guarantee concordance among various investigators and theorists, it is guaranteed that without such understanding many of the interpretations placed on relevant data will be infirm. More specifically, one may argue that it is unlikely that any contemporary social scientist, given a reasonable background in genetics and awareness of established findings in regard to such behavioral characters as color vision and taste sensitivities, would assert that there is no evidence for genetically determined differences in behavior between races. Needless to say, the existence of such differences has no bearing on decisions concerning the political, legal, or social treatment of members of different races. These are ,appropriately rooted in value and ethical premises. It seems probable that if investigators in this area had possessed more knowledge of genetics in the past, there would have been less emphasis on the study of racial differences in general intelligence, in view of the virtual impossibility of disentangling the respective influences of genetic and environmental variation on a character so complex and so heavily influenced by language and culture. In general, it appears that the accurate interpretation of existing data and the development of plans for obtaining more illuminating data in the future depend on a reasonable balance in genetic and social science training. INTELLIGENCE AND SOCIAL CLASS The relation between the well-known class differences in measured intelligence and genetic factors has been the subject of several interesting analyses. Dobzhansky in a recent issue of Science and in Mankind Evolving considered various social structural conditions in relation to genetically determined abilities and concluded that caste systems possessed relatively little biological efficiency. He also suggested, in regard to a par-

ticular caste system: "India has performed the grandest genetic experiment ever attempted with human materials. For possibly as long as 100 generations, people were bred for genetic specialization in different occupations .... It appears ... that the 'experiment' turned out to be a failure, in the sense that the castes have not become genetically specialized for their respective occupations. Modem India has discovered that the low castes contain at least some individuals capable of performing quite creditably the functions heretofore reserved for the high ones; and it has also discovered that the converse is true." 19 Tryon 20 has approached the problem from quite a different perspective and, assuming that society is organized into groups primarily in terms of socioeconomic status or, as he calls it, "money reward," he reasons that persons who achieve particular economic levels tend to have certain genetically determined characters in common and also that they are more likely to mate with one another. Thus, with time this assortative mating produces groups that are at least partially distinct in terms of these genetically determined characters. Indeed, he argues that the general intelligence factor extracted by our conventional test and factor analytic procedures has actually been produced by assortative mating influenced by a unitary reward system. Fuller and Thompson argue that in all societies there is selection for plasticity or • general intelligence and that consequently one should • not expect to find biologically determined differences in intelligence between races or societies. On the other hand, they think that a society that selects differentially within various classes can well survive and therefore one might observe class differences in genetic factors relevant to intelligence. The most technical analysis of this problem is that by Halsey,21 who constructed several models, making various assumptions concerning class differences in intelligence and its mode of inheritance. Although one could readily quarrel with some of his assumptions (the most serious violation of what is known to be true is his assumption of single gene determination of intelligence), his approach offers much promise. Moreover, his analyses specify at least some conditions under which class differences in intelligence must be accepted as primarily attributable to environmental variation. The importance of these papers lies less in the particular conclusions they have reached than in their illustration of the direct relevance of genetic concepts and methods for eventual understanding of the relation

between social class and intelligence. The investigator who approaches this problem with full understanding of both population genetics and relevant social science methods is in a much better position to produce illuminating findings and theories than the person who is familiar with only one of these domains. The areas of potential interaction between the social sciences and genetics we have just cited are obviously weighted by the author's greater familiarity with psychology than with other social sciences. It should be emphasized that in none of these examples is it our intention to suggest that an understanding of genetic concepts will provide an easy or automatic solution to the major empirical and theoretical problems of the social sciences. Nor should it appear that the interaction between genetics and the social sciences is likely to benefit only the social scientist. In fact, much genetic research on behavior conducted by biologists could be improved by greater sophistication in the concepts and methods of the social sciences, and a few such developments have occurred. Here, however, we have selfishly adopted the perspective of the social scientist. THE COUNCIL'S COMMITTEE

The Committee on Genetics and Behavior was appointed in September 1961, with its present membership. Its actions have been guided by the general premise that social scientists would benefit from greater exposure to modem genetics. Its broad purposes have been the effective dissemination among social scientists of knowledge concerning genetics and the stimulation of research in significant areas relevant to genetics and behavior. The major activities that have been completed or arranged are a summer training institute on behavior genetics and a European conference on human behavior genetics. The summer institute was under the general direction of Gerald McClearn and was held by the University of California, Berkeley, June 22 - July 31, 1964, with financial support provided by the National Institute of Mental Health. The principal members of the teaching staff, in addition to Messrs. McClearn and Hirsch, were Joseph B. Birdsell, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Los Angeles; Robert C. Roberts, Senior Scientific Officer, Institute of Animal Genetics, Edinburgh; David Merrell, Professor of Zoology, University of Minnesota; David Rosenthal, Laboratory of Psychology, National Institute of Mental Health; James McGaugh, Associate Professor of Psychology, University of Oregon. There were 30 students, who had recently completed their doctoral training or were at an advanced stage of graduate work. They were

approximately evenly divided between those whose primary background was in a social science and those who had been trained in biological science or medicine. The first four weeks of the institute were devoted to two parallel sequences, designed to present the most relevant aspects of modern genetics to the social scientist and selected aspects of psychology and anthropology to the biological scientist. The lectures and laboratory sessions were scheduled so that each student could attend all lectures if he chose. The last two weeks were devoted to applications of the methods and concepts of genetics to behavioral research. Lectures, demonstrations, individual conferences, and laboratories were all utilized. Among the major topics considered were general genetics, population genetics, biometrical genetics, heritability, inbreeding, selection, origin of species, polymorphism, measurement of behavior, conditioning, behavioral development, schizophrenia, and human microevolution. The European conference has been arranged by James N. Spuhler for the purpose of improving communication between American and European scholars who share an interest in the genetics of human behavior. The conference is to be held on September 1725, 1964, under the joint auspices of the committee and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research at its conference center in Burg Wartenstein, with funds provided by the Foundation. The general focus of the conference is on "Behavioral Consequences of Genetic Differences in Man." The participants and subjects of their papers are as follows: types, genotypes, and the genetic diversity in populations, Mr. Dobzhansky; polymorphism and natural selection, John M. Thoday, University of Cambridge; implications of primate paleontology for behavior, G. Kurth, University of Gottingen; implications of primate neon to logy for behavior, B. 1.

MONETARY POLICY AND THE RATE OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY: A PROJECT OF THE COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC STABILITY by Franco Modigliani·

AT THE end of the summer of 1963 the Committee on Economic Stability relinquished to the Brookings Institution further responsibility for testing and applyin-g the econometric model of the United States which the committee had been developing during the preceding two years. A comprehensive report on the work done on this project under the committee's auspices has been prepared, and is scheduled for publication early in 1965. 1 At the conclusion of participation in this effort the committee undertook to re-examine for the Council other research needs relating to problems of economic stability and instability. A result was the decision to explore the feasibility of intensifying research on the links between the supply of money, and other variables within the control of monetary and credit authorities, and the course of economic activity. Economists have long been concerned with the significance of these variables, and of the channels through which they operate, but the importance assigned to them has varied widely at different points in the development of economic thinking. Broadly speaking, the classical tradition tended to de-emphasize the role of money as an autonomous factor. Money was regarded as a veil tending to obscure but having in reality no independent lasting effect on the mechanism controlling the allocation of resources to the production of goods and their distribution among the participants in the economic process. On the other hand, some of the preKeynesian analysts concerned with business fluctuations assigned to money a more important autonomous role. Keynes' "General Theory," with its emphasis on wage rigidity and "liquidity preference," could be interpreted as assigning to money a central role in the explanation of "underemployment equilibrium." In fact, however, much of the Keynesian literature of the 1940's and early 1950's assigned scant importance to money. The level of economic activity was seen as determined

by the propensity to save, the volume of investment, and fiscal policy; and both saving and the rate of investment were deemed, in fact if not in principle, to be unresponsive to the tools of monetary policy. The postwar experience and new developments in economic analysis, which were perhaps partly spurred by that experience, have tended to modify earlier thinking. At the present time one might, at the risk of extreme oversimplification, distinguish three main trends of opinion among those concerned with macroeconomics. There is still probably a sizable group that clings to the earlier Keynesian view that money is, at best, of secondary importance among the forces that shape the course of economic activity. At the other end of the spectrum there is a small but influential body, of which Milton Friedman is the principal spokesman, which holds that variations in the rate of expansion of the money supply are one of the most important sources of economic instability. This school tends to conclude that money is too powerful and complex a tool to be entrusted to human minds for use as a means of economic stabilization and recommends the abolition of discre- • tion in monetary management and the substitution of • an inflexible rule calling for an expansion of the money supply at a constant rate. Furthermore, this school regards the effectiveness of money as so evident at the aggregate level that it has little interest in study of the channels through which money operates. These channels, the school holds, are numerous and pervasive and their relative importance may shift in time, but the final outcome is predictable and this is all that matters. Between these two extremes there is a significant body of opinion that monetary policy can exert an important influence on economic activity, and for this very reason can and should be exploited as one of the important and most flexible tools of economic stabilization. However, it is generally agreed by those who hold this view that there are wide gaps in our qualitative and quantitative knowledge of the mechanisms through which the tools of monetary policy operate, and that these gaps urgently need to be filled by means of empirically supported propositions, in order to bolster confidence in the use of these tools. Conscious of this need, the Committee on Economic Stability has asked two of its members, the writer and • James Duesenberry, to consider what might be done ~ to speed and increase the effectiveness of research in this area.

Its other members are: Law· rence R. Klein, University of Pennsylvania (chairman); Moses Abramovitz, Stanford University; Martin Bronfenbrenner, Carnegie Institute of Technology; James S.

As a preliminary step, a small group of economists actively concerned with such research met in Washington on March 13-14 for an informal discussion. The group was recruited primarily from universities and other institutions in the East and Middle West, and a similar meeting of economists from the western part of the country was held on July 16-18 at the University of California, Los Angeles under the sponsorship of its Institute of Government and Public Affairs.2 The aim of the Washington meeting was to pool the experience of the group for three main purposes: (1) to survey the present state of knowledge as shown by published works and research in progress; (2) to examine the possibility of closer coordination of relevant research in progress in universities and other institutions and by the staff of the Federal Reserve System, so as to avoid duplications and maximize the effectiveness of ongoing research; (3) to consider possible needs for data not now available which might be developed or obtained cooperatively from government sources. The March meeting was devoted primarily to reviewing the main links between the monetary supply and other variables which have been considered in the literature, and suggesting some which have so far received little attention; and surveying both major approaches to the problem and significant published and unpublished contributions. On the basis of the discussion a memorandum on the present state of knowledge is being prepared by the secretary of the meeting, John H. Wood of the staff of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This is being circulated to all economists who are known to be actively interested in the area, to obtain 2 Present at the Washington meeting. in addition to Messrs. Duesenberry.

their comments, additions, and emendations. The July meeting was primarily devoted to a review of theoretical and empirical work in progress on the determinants of the demand for and supply of money and its relation to monetary policy and the monetary mechanism. The participants in the March meeting urged that funds that have been provided by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System be used for an exploratory project having both substantive and methodological interest. This project is concerned with what is probably the least controversial of the links through which monetary policy may affect aggregate demand, namely, investment in plant and equipment. The prevailing view from roughly the mid-1930's to the mid1950's was that this link, though present in principle, was in fact quantitatively quite negligible and swamped by many other factors. This view seemed to find some support in empirical studies, but in recent years has come to be questioned increasingly. A number of econometric studies have uncovered rather impressive evidence that after other influences are controlled effectively, at least in the postwar period, the terms on which capital is available as measured by the conventional yardstick of long-term interest rates have had a conspicuous effect on this component of aggregate demand. These studies have tended, however, to suffer from one difficulty which is being increasingly encountered in many areas of econometric research. This might well be characterized as the embarrassment of too many riches. Until quite recently economics was largely speculative; few systematic attempts were made to formulate hypotheses in testable form and to test them rigorously. The development of interest in econometrics has tended to change this, but is giving rise to a new problem. What often happens is that each investigator sets out with his own hypothesis and obtains evidence for it from a set of data assembled for this purpose from published sources or "field" studies. However, very little attention, if any, is given to comparing one's hypothesis with rival hypotheses. Even when this is done, the latter tend to be little more than straw men set up to be easily knocked down. The project to be sponsored by the committee will attempt to correct this situation by relying on a rather novel approach, which, if successful, may have significant future potential for other research. The project will start by surveying the most promising current hypotheses and will try to replicate the tests supporting these hypotheses on the basis of a uniform set of data and test procedures. At the same time it will try to develop a variety of procedures (e.g., by testing the hypotheses on subaggregates and possibly by using data

not only on investment outlays but also on investment plans and the data on new commitments collected by the National Industrial Conference Board). In addition, and this is probably the most novel aspect of the design, an attempt will be made to secure the cooperation of the original investigators in the form of criticisms of the proposed test of their model and suggestions for possible alternatives. If this approach proves feasible and useful, additional financing may be sought by the Council in order to extend the project gradually and test various other mechanisms linking monetary policy with economic activity. Detailed work intended to result in papers to be discussed at a further conference in the fall has been under way during the summer at the Massachusetts Institute

of Technology under the guidance of Edwin Kuh, on behalf of Mr. Duesenberry and the writer. Robert W. Resek of the University of Illinois has been engaged in research on capital expenditures, and Shirley M. Almon of Wellesley College on capital appropriations. The outcome could contribute significantly to our understanding of the modus operandi of monetary factors, increasing the utility and reliability of monetary policy and permitting a more effective utilization of monetary factors in models applicable in forecasting. The close association between the committee's new undertaking and its earlier sponsorship of the econometric model of the United States insures the prompt incorporation in that model of any promising results obtained in the new venture.
