商业周期理论是一个广泛而不同的领域。不同的思想流派为周期提供了不同的解释,通常使用不同的数学方法。这本书为经济学的学者和研究生提供了自凯恩斯以来商业周期理论的紧凑和易于理解的阐述。作者将凯恩斯主义经济学、货币主义、新古典经济学、真实的商业周期理论和新凯恩斯主义经济学等主要理论置于历史背景中,按照它们出现的时间顺序进行介绍,并突出它们的差异和共同点。他最大限度地减少必要的数学先决条件,通过使用统一的数学方法:随机二阶差分方程,这是详细解释。在本书中,商业周期的国际维度得到了承认。所获得的理论结果与经验事实一起放在单独的方框中。每一章都以一系列问题结束,这些问题旨在加深读者对所提出的理论的理解,并进一步阅读提供相关材料的部分。
Business cycle theory is a broad and disparate field. Different schools of thought offer alternative explanations for cycles, often using different mathematical methods. This book provides academics and graduate students of economics with a compact and accessible exposition of business cycle theory since Keynes. The author places the main theories -- Keynesian economics, monetarism, new classical economics, the real business cycles theory, and new Keynesian economics -- in an historical context by presenting them in the chronological order of their appearance and highlighting their differences and commonalities. He minimizes the necessary mathematical prerequisites by using a unifying mathematical approach: stochastic second-order difference equations, which is explained in detail. Throughout the book, the international dimension of business cycles is acknowledged. The theoretical results obtained are set alongside empirical facts in separate boxes. Each chapter finishes with a set of problems designed to deepen the reader's understanding of the theories presented, and further reading sections which provide access to related material.
