Lumpy Investment, Sectoral Propagation, and Business Cycles
This paper proposes a model of endogenous fluctuations in investment. A monopolistic producer has an incentive to invest when the aggregate demand is high. This causes a propagation of investment across sectors. When the investment follows an (S,s) policy, the propagation size can exhibit a significant fluctuation. We characterize the probability distribution of the propagation size, and show t...
متن کاملDoes Lumpy Investment Matter for Business Cycles?∗
We present an analytically tractable general equilibrium business cycle model that features micro-level investment lumpiness. We prove an exact irrelevance proposition which provides sufficient conditions on preferences, technology, and the fixed cost distribution such that any positive upper support of the fixed cost distribution yields identical equilibrium dynamics of the aggregate quantitie...
متن کاملCycles in Non-mining Business Investment
Bulletin | D E C E M B E R Q ua R t E R 2014 Growth in private non-mining business investment has been quite subdued over the past few years relative to the cyclical upswings seen in the 1980s and 1990s. Part of this weakness can be explained by cyclical factors that affect investment – such as a more moderate pace of growth in the output of, and demand for, non-mining goods and services. Furth...
متن کاملCorporate Investment Over Uncertain Business Cycles
We present a dynamic model of irreversible corporate investment over the business cycle with uncertainty about the true state of the economy. We show that the firm’s optimal investment threshold, defined by the ratio of the current demand factor to the capital stock, is a concave function of the firm’s posterior probability of being in an expansion. Our model replicates some important features ...
متن کاملEndogenous Business Cycles and the Economic Response to Exogenous Shocks
In this paper, we investigate the macroeconomic response to exogenous shocks, namely natural disasters and stochastic productivity shocks. To do so, we make use of an endogenous business cycle model in which cyclical behavior arises from the investment–profit instability; the amplitude of this instability is constrained by the increase in labor costs and the inertia of production capacity and t...
