Business Cycle Amplification with Heterogeneous Expectations
This paper studies the implications for business cycle dynamics of heterogeneous expectations in a stochastic growth model. The assumption of homogeneous, rational expectations is replaced with a heterogeneous expectations model where a fraction of agents hold rational expectations and the remaining fraction adopt parsimonious forecasting models that are, in equilibrium, optimal within a restri...
متن کاملOligopolistic Business Cycle Amplification∗
We develop a tractable dynamic general equilibrium model with a continuum of different industries, each comprising a finite number of strategic price-setting firms. Each industry coordinates on profit-maximizing markups taking as given the strategic behavior of all other industries. The strategic behavior of all firms jointly determines the level of aggregate consumption in each state, which in...
متن کاملInformation, Expectations, and the Business Cycle
I investigate the ability of a noisy rational expectations model to generate plausible macroeconomic dynamics. The model allows for imperfect, heterogeneous information, and signal extraction from endogenous variables. Aggregate shocks are not directly observable. Instead, private agents and the central bank form inferences about aggregate shocks based on their observations of endogenous variab...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Innovation over the Business Cycle*
Previous research has argued that innovative activities should be concentrated in recessions. However, innovation, as measured by R&D expenditure, seems to concentrate in booms. We argue that R&D expenditures do not capture the different dimensions of firms’ innovative search strategies. We introduce a model of innovative exploration and exploitation over the business cycle and present supporti...
متن کاملObserved Expectations, News Shocks, and the Business Cycle
Abstract. This paper exploits information from the term structure of survey expectations to identify news shocks in a a DSGE model with rational expectations. We estimate a structural business-cycle model with price and wage stickiness. We allow for both unanticipated and anticipated components (“news”) in each structural disturbance: neutral and investment-specific technology shocks, governmen...
