Abstract: Abstract The representative agent model has become the workhorse of macroeconomics since the 1980s. In this chapter we introduce this model. The first section presents the basic model. The second section adds a government into the economy. The third section addresses the model of a monetary economy with two monetary policy rules. The central bank controls the money stock under one and the nominal interest rate under the other.
