S. economy has become more stable after World War. And since the mid21980s, the reduction of U. S. business cycle volatility was also significant. The causes of stabilization are complicated, which have caused intense debate in the area of macroeconomics. This paper makes a literature survey on this topic and provides some policy suggestions for China.
