Abstract

[eng] Business cycle models and the labor market. . Many believe that the main goal behind the business cycle approach intitiated by Lucas, Kydland and Prescott is to provide solid microfoundations for macroeconomic models while the IS-LM-Phillips curve approach would be mainly concerned with explaining reality. We try to show that the business cycle approach based on the neoclassical growth model and the IS-LM-Phillips curve approach are at the present time on an equal footing in their capacity to explain stylizedfacts of the labor market. [fre] Modèles du cycle économique et marché du travail. . Nombreux sont ceux qui croient que l'approche du cycle économique initiée par Lucas, Kydland et Prescott a pour objectif fondamental de doter les modèles macro-économiques de fondements micro-économiques solides alors que l'approche IS-LM-courbe de Phillips se démarquerait par son souci et sa capacité à expliquer les faits. Nous défendons l'idée que l'approche du cycle fondée sur le modèle néoclassique de croissance et l'approche IS-LM-courbe de Phillips en sont à peu près au même point en ce qui concerne leur capacité à expliquer les faits stylisés du marché du travail.
