چکیده
Traditionally, economic growth and business cycles have been treated independently. However, the dependence of GDP levels on its history shocks, what economists refer to as “hysteresis,” argues for unifying analysis cycles. In this paper, we review recent empirical theoretical literature that motivates paradigm shift. The renewed interest in hysteresis (or “scarring” parlance) has sparked by persistent impact global financial crisis —as advanced economies remained far below precrisis trends over a decade—and concerns about lasting COVID-19 shock. findings far-reaching conceptual policy implications. recessions, monetary fiscal policies need be more active avoid permanent scars downturn. And good times, running high-pressure economy could positive effects. (JEL E22, E23, E24, E32, E63, G01, O41)

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...

This paper studies an agent-based model that bridges Keynesian theories of demandgeneration and Schumpeterian theories of technology-fueled economic growth. We employ the model to investigate the properties of macroeconomic dynamics and the impact of public polices on supply, demand and the “fundamentals” of the economy. We find that the complementarities between factors influencing aggregate d...

The Skyscraper Index, created by economist Andrew Lawrence shows a high level of correlation between skyscraper construction and the business cycle. Is this just a coincidence, or perhaps do skyscrapers cause business cycles? A theoretical foundation of “Cantillo...
متن کاملCredit and Business Cycles
This paper presents two dynamic models of the economy in which credit constraints arise because creditors cannot force debtors to repay debts unless the debts are secured by collateral. The credit system becomes a powerful propagation mechanism by which the effects of shocks persist and amplify through the interaction between collateral values, borrowers' net worth and credit limits. In particu...
