摘要：This paper presents and assesses the recent application of models
in the Real Business Cycle (RBC) tradition to the analysis of the Great
Depression of the 1930s. The main conclusion is that the breaking of
the depression taboo has been a desirable completion of the cliometric
revolution: no historic event should be exempt from a dispassionate
quantitative analysis. On the other hand, the substantive contribution
of RBC models is not yet sucient to establish a new historiography
of the Great Depression.
