Rodríguez Sánchez, Gonzalo2023-01-272023-06-052024-01-012021-12https://hdl.handle.net/10016/36391This article examines the Austrian Theory of Business Cycles as well as Minsky’s “financial instability hypothesis” and determine to what extent their explanations of financial crises can be integrated. I conclude that despite their confronting policy implications, both theories are complementary at the theoretical level and can benefit from cross-fertilization. In particular, they trace the root of financial crises to a disturbance of intertemporal coordination, that is, real interest rates.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaFeyerabendMinskyMacroeconomicsThe Austrian Business Cycle theoryHistory of Economic thoughtEpistemology of Economicsbachelor thesisEconomíaopen access
