The Real Business Cycle (RBC) model is an economic theory that explains business cycle fluctuations in terms of real (i.e., non-monetary) shocks to productivity. It emphasizes that changes in technology and external conditions can lead to variations in output and employment, which are viewed as responses to these real shocks rather than fluctuations driven by demand. This model integrates dynamic optimization and intertemporal choices, leading to the Bellman equation and value function iteration to analyze optimal decision-making over time.
congrats on reading the definition of RBC Model. now let's actually learn it.
