Uncertainty Shocks, Mean-Variance Frontiers, and Business Cycles∗
This paper constructs a model economy to explain how uncertainty shocks can cause business cycle fluctuations. In the model, during times of high uncertainty, the representative agent, due to risk aversion motives, moves resources from a high risk/high return production process to a low risk/low return production process. High uncertainty thus causes the firm level technology frontier to endoge...
متن کاملThe Impact of Uncertainty Shocks: A Firm-Level Estimation and a 9/11 Simulation
Uncertainty appears to vary strongly over time, temporarily rising by up to 200% around major shocks like the Cuban Missile crisis, the assassination of JFK and 9/11. This paper o¤ers the rst structural framework to analyze uncertainty shocks. I build a model with a time varying second moment, which is numerically solved and estimated using rm level data. The parameterized model is then used ...
متن کاملEndogenous Growth, Monetary Shocks and Nominal Rigidities
We introduce endogenous growth in an otherwise standard NK model with staggered prices and wages. Some results follow: (i) monetary volatility negatively affects long-run growth; (ii) the relation between nominal volatility and growth depends on the persistence of the nominal shocks and on the Taylor rule considered; (iii) a Taylor rule with smoothing increases the negative effect of nominal vo...
متن کاملNews Shocks and Business Cycles
T he discussion surrounding the recent deep recession seems to have shifted the focus from currently used business cycle models to the standard Keynesian model (by which we mean the “old Keynesian,” as opposed to the new Keynesian, model). In the Keynesian model, pessimism among consumers and investors about the economy will simultaneously lower aggregate consumption and aggregate investment, a...
متن کاملBusiness cycles in Iran: Evidence from asymmetry and correlated shocks
In this Paper, business cycle asymmetry in Iran has been investigated using a nonlinear unobserved component model. In this regard, according to Kim and Nelsonchr('39')s (1999) interpretation of Friedman plucking model (1993), asymmetric transitory component has been modeled and simultaneously the possibility of a correlation between transitory and permanent shocks has also been considered. The...
