Innovation and Growth with Financial, and other, Frictions

But frictions in this market, including se...
متن کاملEndogenous Firm Heterogeneity under Financial Imperfection: Effects of International Goods and Capital Mobility

As a result, the industry will be composed of many homogeneous firms. If there e...

We identify the risk news shock in macroeconomic time series for the US, while simultaneously identifying other standard macr...
