Inventory Mistakes and the Great Moderation
Why did the volatility of U.S. real GDP decline by more than the volatility of final sales with the Great Moderation in the mid-1980s? One possible explanation is that firms shifted their inventory behaviour towards a greater emphasis on production smoothing. In this paper, we investigate the role of inventories in the Great Moderation by estimating an unobserved components model that identifie...
متن کاملBeyond Inventory Management: The Bullwhip Effect and the Great Moderation
We resurrect the question if improved business practices contributed to increased macroeconomic stability since the 1980s – the Great Moderation. While previous studies on the issue are limited to examining inventory management, we analyse the role of better supply chain management on enhancing firms’ ability to coordinate their production. By investigating ordering and backordering behaviour i...

This paper shows that within-country happiness inequality has fallen in the majority of countries that have experienced positive income growth over the last forty years, in particular in developed countries. This new stylized fact comes as an addition to the Easterlin paradox, which states that the time trend in average happiness is flat during episodes of long-run income growth. This mean-pres...
متن کاملLearning and the Great Moderation
We study a stylized theory of the volatility reduction in the U.S. after 1984—the Great Moderation—which attributes part of the stabilization to less volatile shocks and another part to more difficult inference on the part of Bayesian households attempting to learn the latent state of the economy. We use a standard equilibrium business cycle model with technology following an unobserved regime-...

Increased focus on price stability by a discretionary central bank reduces output and price volatility in a model with rationally inattentive …rms. The volatility reduction can be arbitrarily large, e.g., imply a 'Great Moderation', and is particularly pronounced when …rms can process information almost perfectly. The model-implied vector auto-regressive (VAR) dynamics are consistent with the e...
