Hump - shape Uncertainty , Agency Costs and Aggregate Fluctuations ∗
Previously measured uncertainty shocks using the U.S. data show a hump-shape time path: Uncertainty rises for two years before its decline. Current literature on the effects uncertainty on macroeconomics, including housing, has not accounted for this observation. Consequently, the literature on uncertainty and macroeconomics is divided on the effects and the propagation mechanism of uncertainty...
متن کاملHow important is discrete adjustment in aggregate fluctuations?
Individual actions such as the purchase of a machine or the changing or a price are often discrete and infrequent. Macroeconomic models, however, often ignore this intermittent behavior. In this paper, we present conditions under which a representative agent model, which ignores discrete adjustment on the individual level, is observationally equivalent to a model that takes discrete adjustment ...
متن کاملAggregate and Regional Disaggregate Fluctuations Aggregate and Regional Disaggregate Fluctuations
This paper models uctuations in regional disaggregates as a nonstationary, dynamically evolving distribution. Doing so enables study of the dynamics of aggregate uctuations jointly with those of the rich cross-section of regional disaggregates. For the US, the leading state| regardless of which it happens to be|contains strong predictive power for aggregate uctuations. This e ect is di cult to ...
متن کاملCompetition , Innovation , and Aggregate Fluctuations ∗
In this paper I study the link between innovation efforts, competition, and aggregate uncertainty. A productive sector consists in a continuum of duopolies that face a stochastic aggregate demand. In each industry the two firms choose their level of innovation through intertemporal optimization given their respective market power in the business. Since competition in the model lessens ex ante p...
متن کاملRational Inattention and Aggregate Fluctuations
This paper introduces the rational inattention hypothesis (RI) – that agents process information subject to finite channel constraints – into a stochastic growth model with permanent technology shocks. We find that RI raises consumption volatility relative to output by introducing an endogenous demand shock. Furthermore, it is shown that incorporating RI can provide an additional internal propa...
