Abstract: Finn Kydland and Edward Prescott have made fundamental contributions to the research area known as macroeconomics. In a highly innovative way, the Laureates have analyzed the design of economic policy and the driving forces behind business cycles. Their work has not only transformed economic research, but has also profoundly influenced the practice of economic policy in general, and monetary policy in particular.
