Abstract

summary: this paper provides a framework for the synthesis of vampirism and macroeconomics. vampires influence macroeconomic activity by devouring the labor force and by provoking protective human activities which divert resources from other productive uses. on the other hand, human macroeconomic activity influences vampirism by providing blood whereby vampires are nourished and stakes whereby they are destroyed. a mathematical model is built which describes the delicate ecological balance between humans and vampires. in this context, the role of stabilization policy is examined. the complete destruction of the vampire species is shown to be socially undesirable.;
