Bad News for News Shocks? The Expectational-Stability and Comovement Tradeoff in a News-Driven Business Cycle Model
This paper investigates whether adaptive learning and news shocks, operating in tandem, can generate business cycle dynamics that match the data. In doing so, this paper adopts expectational stability (“E-stability”) as a natural criterion for rationality: plausible equilibria should arise from an adaptive learning formulation where agents form forecasts from a correctly specified model whose p...
متن کاملLabor Supply Heterogeneity and Macroeconomic Comovement
Standard real business cycle models must rely on total factor productivity (TFP) shocks to explain the observed comovement of consumption, investment, and hours worked. This paper shows that a neoclassical model consistent with observed heterogeneity in labor supply and consumption can generate comovement in the absence of TFP shocks. Intertemporal substitution of goods and leisure induces como...
متن کاملHow Important Are Sectoral Shocks?
I quantify the contribution of sectoral shocks to business cycle fluctuations in aggregate output. I develop and estimate a multi-industry general equilibrium model in which each industry employs the material and capital goods produced by other sectors. Using data on U.S. industries’ input prices and input choices, I find that the goods produced by different industries are complements to one an...

The central thesis that we shall explore is that firms and workers are regularly buffeted by an assortment of random shocks or disturba...
