The Macroeconomics of Rational Bubbles: A User’s Guide
- Authors: Jaume Ventura and Alberto Martin.
- Annual Review of Economics
This review provides a guide to macroeconomic applications of the theory of rational bubbles. It shows that rational bubbles can be easily incorporated into standard macroeconomic models and illustrates how they can be used to account for important macroeconomic phenomena. It also discusses the welfare implications of rational bubbles and the role of policy in managing them. Finally, it provides a detailed review of the literature.
