We consider a real business cycle model with a productive externality and an aggregate non-convex technology set a la Benhabib and Farmer embodying capacity utilization, which exhibits indeterminacy of the steady state and multiplicity of deterministic equilibria under plausible values of the...

In this paper, we use archival sources, interviews, bibliometrics, text-mining and correspondance analysis to trace the development of a loose community of economists interested in indeterminacy and sunspots. We propose several explanations for the rise, marginalization and eventual...
