Title: Accounting for Business Cycles in Canada: I. The Role of Supply-Side Factors
Abstract: After documenting business cycle facts in Canada, I have used a bunch of popular models to explain them.
The common features of these models are: the use of the neoclassical growth framework, the assumption that prices are flexible enough to ensure a general equilibrium, and the reliance on supply-side factors, mainly technological change, to explain business cycles.
I have also assessed the ability of these models to replicate these business cycle facts.
