Inventory investment and aggregate fluctuations with idiosyncratic shocks
We develop a DSGE model to explain salient empirical regularities regarding fluctuations in aggregate inventory accumulation over the business cycle while simultaneously explaining a distinct set of observations on the behavior of this series at higher frequencies. We begin with a generalized (S,s) model of inventory investment wherein firms fixed costs of ordering inputs that lead them to econ...
متن کاملCommon and idiosyncratic shocks to labor productivity across sectors and countries: Is climate relevant?
We use two methodologies, the least square dummy variables approach and the dynamic factor models, to decompose the labor productivity growth rate for a large sample of countries into common, i.e. global, and idiosyncratic, i.e. country, components. We find that country specific effects are much more important than common effects in explaining labor productivity. The interesting result is that,...
متن کاملIdiosyncratic Shocks and the Role of Nonconvexities in Plant and Aggregate Investment Dynamics
We solve equilibrium models of lumpy investment wherein establishments face persistent shocks to common and plant-specific productivity. Nonconvex adjustment costs lead plants to pursue generalized (S,s) decision rules with respect to capital; as a result, their individual investments are lumpy. In partial equilibrium, this yields substantial skewness and kurtosis in aggregate investment, thoug...
متن کاملIndivisible-labor, lotteries and idiosyncratic productivity shocks
This paper extends the indivisible-labor model by Hansen [J. Monet. Econ. 16 (1985) 309] and Rogerson [J. Monet. Econ. 21 (1988) 3] to include multiple consumers who differ in initial wealth and whose labor productivities are subject to idiosyncratic shocks. In the presence of idiosyncratic uncertainty, the optimal allocations for the individual employment probabilities are at corners: agents w...
متن کاملIdiosyncratic Shocks, Geographic Spillovers, and Asset Prices∗
This paper shows that productivity shocks to the top 100 U.S. companies (as identified in Gabaix (2011)) contain systematic information. Specifically, shocks to the top 100 firms predict future shocks to geographically close firms. Intra-sector trade links are an important economic channel for the cascade effect. However, these geographic spillovers are not only restricted to firms’ explicit in...
