ABCs of RBCs

"The ABCs of RBCs is the first book to provide a basic introduction to Real Business Cycle (RBC) and New Keynesian models. These models argue that random shocks - new inventions, droughts, and wars, in the case of pure RBC models, and monetary and fiscal policy and international investor risk aversion, in more open interpretations - can trigger booms and recessions and can account for much of observed output volatility." "The ABCs of RBCs is designed to teach the economic practitioner or student how to build simple RBC models. Matlab code for solving many of the models is provided, and careful readers should be able to construct, solve, and use their own models."--BOOK JACKET.McCandless, George is the author of 'ABCs of RBCs', published 2008 under ISBN 9780674028142 and ISBN 0674028147.
