Abstract
Real Business Cycle Models and Money: A Survey of Theories and Stylized Facts. — This article presents a survey of real business cycle theory, with special attention to the role of money. This role is mainly associated with cash-in-advance constraints, liquidity effects and aspects of financial intermediation. Apart from reviewing the literature, stylized facts about the comovements of output and prices versus monetary aggregates and interest rates over the cycle are assembled and discussed for eight industrial countries, including the G5-countries, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. The paper concludes that further developments in monetary real business cycle theory could benefit from taking into account a broader set of stylized facts about prices than has been done thus far, as well as from introducing non-Walrasian elements and endogenizing monetary policy.
