Business cycles and financial crises

This book critically reviews literature on business cycles and financial crises. It starts with an investigation of issues concerning the existence and nature of business cycles. It then examines Minsky’s financial instability hypothesis and the role of the financial sector in generating business cycles and considers the implications for bank regulation and supervision. Written at a level suitable for graduate students, the book brings together the literature from monetary and financial economics with that on business cycles.
