Abstract

We present a simple version of a dynamic general equilibrium model of the international transmission of the business cycle. We analyze its solution and its predictions, and we compare these predictions with the observed comovements of international macroeconomic aggregates. Then, we present a survey of recent articles that have attempted to correct the flaws of the basic model. Nous présentons une version simple du modèle dynamique d’équilibre général de la transmission internationale du cycle économique. Nous analysons sa solution et ses prédictions, et nous comparons ses prédictions avec les faits observés des covariations internationales des agrégats macroéconomiques. Ensuite, nous présentons un survol d’articles récents qui se sont appliqués à corriger les défaillances du modèle de base.
