Abstract: This essay reassesses the theoretical contributions of D.H. Robertson related to the study of economic cycles. This paper is organized in three sections, besides these introductory notes and final remarks. Section 1 tackles the general aspects of Robertsonian analysis of fluctuations according to his early writings, A Study of Industrial Fluctuations, of 1915. The following section briefly revisits his early studies on the role of money in this context. The most complete integration of real and monetary analysis, developed upon Robertson´s most well-known work, Banking Policy and the Price Level, of 1926, is the object of section 3, which also discusses the concept of forced savings and its integration with the interest theory, as latter proposed by the author. It is possible to draw conclusions that notwithstanding the importance attributed to the monetary factors concerning the range of the fluctuations, the analysis holds its essentially real condition, without any fundamental rupture with the general Marshallian view, upon which it is based.
