This paper discusses several prominent economic theories which link entrepreneurs and their innovations to the creation and magnitude of business cycles. I distinguish three broad classes of theories: models of creative destruction; models of innovation and implementation cycles; and models of production under asymmetric information. Key insights of the theories are identified, policy implications are drawn, and suggestions for future research are proposed.
