Abstract
There is a long tradition in macroeconomics of treating growth and cycles as distinct phenomena. However, various economists have also recognized the virtue of incorporating the two forces into a single framework and to study the way they are related. This article reviews this literature, with emphasis on attempts not only to integrate growth and cycles into a single framework but also to endogenize growth, cycles, or both.
