Résumé	The Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans model, developed initially by Frank Ramsey in 1928 and formalized by David Cass and Tjalling Koopmans in 1965, is the workhorse model of macroeconomic growth theory. It describes how rational consumers optimize consumption and savings over an infinite horizon, subject to an aggregate production function, and derives the long-run growth path and the optimal allocation of resources.	The Overlapping Generations Model, pioneered by Paul Samuelson in 1958 and extended by Peter Diamond in 1965, is a macroeconomic framework where successive generations of individuals live for finite periods and coexist at any point in time. It addresses how consumption, savings, and capital accumulation evolve across generations and how monetary and fiscal policy affects intergenerational distribution.	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.
