Frontiers of Business Cycle Research

Synopsis

Frontiers of Business Cycle Research collects a number of papers that are standards on my graduate reading lists and some others that soon will be. It adds two lucid introductory papers, one by Thomas Cooley and Edward Prescott and another on computing by Gary Hansen and Prescott. The result is an excellent volume that will be invaluable to macroeconomic researchers and a stimulating introduction for graduate students.--Robert E. Lucas, Jr., University of Chicago

This book will be an essential reference for economists seeking to understand stochastic growth models.--John Campbell, Harvard

This is an excellent book. It documents many achievements of the equilibrium approach to macroeconomics, and shows how it has been used to refine and interpret many empirical puzzles, and to reformulate practical policy issues. The authors of individual articles are leaders in developing and applying economic dynamics.--Thomas Sargent, Hoover Institution, Stanford University
