Quantitative Macroeconomics and Real Business Cycles (QM&RBC)

These are publications indexed on RePEc about the above topic. This reading list is managed by Christian Zimmermann (who can update the reading list here). You can also create your own reading list here. This page is updated in the first days of each month, at least.

Seminal papers in Real Business Cycle (RBC) theory and more generally in Stochastic Dynamic General Equilibrium (SDGE)

Relevant JEL codes for this reading list are:

These are authors registered on RePEc who are particularly relevant to this topic:

This list is not designed to cover the whole field, which is huge indeed. Rather, it covers 3-5 seminal papers in many subcategories. More specialized reading lists should cover more ground, hopefully.
