Aggregate 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 کاملAggregate Fluctuations of Discrete Investments
This paper demonstrates endogenous fluctuations of aggregate investments when firm-level investments follow an (S,s) policy and exhibits demand externality. We present a method to characterize the aggregate fluctuations that arise from the interaction of the (S,s) policies. We show that the growth rate of capital has a strictly positive variance even when the number of firms tends to infinity i...
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...
متن کاملLocal Complementarities and Aggregate Fluctuations
Accumulating microeconomic evidence points both to firm level adjustment lumpiness and to the significant influence of idiosyncratic disturbances. Do these matter for aggregate fluctuations, or do their effects largely vanish upon aggregation? This paper explores the implications of local strategic complementarities and firmlevel adjustment lumpiness for aggregate fluctuations. It shows that sm...
