La gran recesión mostró los límites de los modelos utilizados en política económica, especialmente los modelos de equilibrio general dinámico estocástico (EGDE) y de equilibrio general computable (EGC). Este documento presenta un debate sobre los límites que los modelos EDGE y EGC tienen en la formulación de políticas económicas; también muestra las ventajas que el marco teórico y metodológico de la economia de la complejidad podrían traer al análisis macroeconómico. Este documento se divide en tres secciones. La primera hace un análisis crítico de los modelos EDGE y EGC. La segunda sección se centra en los fundamentos de la economia de la complejidad y en el proceso de aprendizaje en entornos complejos. En la última sección, se discuten las ventajas que la economia de la complejidad podría traer al diseño de políticas públicas y la necesidad de explorar nuevas metodologías que permitan a los diseñadores de políticas alcanzar sus objetivos.
