Editor's Note Our policy is to annotate all English-language books on economics and related subjects that are sent to us. A very small number of foreign-language books are called to our attention and annotated by our consulting editors or others. Our staff does not monitor and order books published; therefore, if an annotation of a book does not appear six months after the publication date, please write to us or the publisher concerning the book.

'Assessing Rational Expectations: Sunspot Multiplicity and Economic Fluctuations' by Roger Guesnerie, consists of a collection of ten papers by the author and his co-authors, all of which are concerned with the idea that business cycles may be driven by self-fulfilling expectations in economies in which there exist multiple rational expectations equilibria. The book is divided into four sub-sections. The first contains three papers, two co-authored jointly with Costas Azariadis and one with Pierre-André Chiappori. Section 2 consists of two important papers co-authored with Chiappori. Sections 3 and 4 of the book deal with extensions of the same themes covered in parts 1 and 2. The author is a master of his subject and the papers collected in this volume provide a classic reference to his work that will be especially attractive to those working in the field of dynamic general equilibrium theory.
