Real Business Cycle Model
The Real Business Cycle (RBC) model, developed by Finn Kydland and Edward Prescott in 1982, is a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium framework that explains macroeconomic fluctuations as rational responses to exogenous technological shocks. Unlike Keynesian models that emphasize demand-side factors and nominal rigidities, the RBC model shows how productivity variations alone can generate business cycles that mimic observed employment, output, and investment dynamics.
