The Euler equation, and it doesn't fit the data. Why. Consumer's aren't rational in the sense that saving desire increases with the interest rate.

Hi,
I did a piece yesterday in which I list what I view as an even bigger theoretical problem with DSGE macro - the models appear to be stock-flow inconsistent, in that they ignore dividends. If dividend flows are added into the models, the models become trivial - no matter what, the economy is at full employment.
