Inflation and Output Dynamics with Firm - Specific Investment ∗
This note corrects the analysis given in Woodford (2003, chap. 5) of a model with staggered pricing and endogenous capital accumulation, to take account of an error in the original calculations noted by Sveen and Weinke (2004). The main source of complication in this analysis is the assumption that the producers of individual differentiated goods (that adjust their prices at different dates) in...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Capital Investment Choice and Capital Productivity: A Test of Firm Life Cycle Theory (A Comparative Investigation of Cyclical and Non-Cyclical Companies)
According to the firm life cycle theory, companies go through certain behavioral patterns in various stages of their life. A thorough understanding and recognition of these behavioral patterns, new investment in assets and the optimal use of assets can considerably enhance the capital productivity. In the current study, the relationship between the stages of firm life cycle and capital producti...
متن کاملInterpreting Investment-Specific Technology Shocks?
Investment-specific technology (IST) shocks are often interpreted as multi-factor productivity (MFP) shocks in a separate investment-producing sector. However, this interpretation is strictly valid only when some stringent conditions are satisfied. Some of these conditions are at odds with the data. Using a two-sector model whose calibration is based on the U.S. Input-Output Tables, we consider...
متن کاملEarnings Dynamics and Firm Level Shocks
There has been an increased interest in understanding pay policies of firms, and in particular the extent to which firm level productivity shocks are transmitted to worker’s wages. Such departures from perfect competition and the law of one price have been motivated by the developments in search theory starting by the seminal models of Burdett and Mortensen (1998) and Mortensen and Pissarides (...
متن کاملA Theory of Firm Characteristics and Stock Returns: The Role of Investment-Specific Shocks∗
We provide a theoretical model linking firm characteristics and expected returns. The key ingredient of our model is technological shocks embodied in new capital (IST shocks), which affect the profitability of new investments. Firms’s exposure to IST shocks is endogenously determined by the fraction of firm value due to growth opportunities. In our structural model, several firm characteristics...
