As a result of economic crisis occurred in the mid-1970s, the macroeconomic models that were exist at that time had been criticized about their validity, and then the dynamic Stochastic general equilibrium analysis had been developed accordingly. Dynamic Stochastic general equilibrium models, which combine microeconomic foundations by assuming that households or firms are behaving optimally with rational expectations against scarce resources, have been also criticized for their adequacy with the onset of the 2008 crisis. After this crisis, agent-based modeling attracted attention and started to be adopted more in the literature. In this study, 2008 crisis will be evaluated by comparing both models.
