Frontiers Of Business Cycle Research - 95 edition

Cooley, Thomas F. : Simon School of Business / University of Rochester

Thomas F. Cooley is Fred H. Gowen Professor of Economics at the Simon School of Business and Professor of Economics at the University of Rochester.

"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., The 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
