Interpreting Investment-Specific Technology Shocks?
Investment-specific technology (IST) shocks are often interpreted as multi-factor productivity (MFP) shocks in a separate investment-producing sector. However, this interpretation is strictly valid only when some stringent conditions are satisfied. Some of these conditions are at odds with the data. Using a two-sector model whose calibration is based on the U.S. Input-Output Tables, we consider...
متن کاملLabor-Market Volatility in the Search-and- Matching Model: The Role of Investment-Specific Technology Shocks
Shocks to investment-specific technology have been identified as a main source of U.S. aggregate output volatility. In this paper we assess the contribution of these shocks to the volatility of labor market variables, namely, unemployment, vacancies, tightness and the jobfinding rate. Thus, our paper contributes to a recent body of literature assessing the ability of the search-and-matching mod...
متن کاملGrowth Opportunities, Investment-Specific Technology Shocks and the Cross-Section of Expected Returns∗
The market value of a firm can be decomposed into two fundamental parts: the value of assets in place and the value of future growth opportunities. We propose a theoreticallymotivated procedure for measuring heterogeneity in growth opportunities across firms. We identify firms with high growth opportunities based on the covariance of their stock returns with the investment-specific productivity...
متن کاملInvestment Shocks and Asset Prices ∗
I explore the implications for asset prices and macroeconomic dynamics of shocks that improve real investment opportunities and thus affect the representative household’s marginal utility. These investment shocks generate differences in risk premia due to their heterogenous impact on firms: they benefit firms producing investment relative to firms producing consumption goods, and increase the v...
متن کاملInvestment Shocks and GDP Responses
Some recent studies of the relationship between investment (or saving) and growth have found an absence of positive causality from the latter to the former. This finding poses a puzzle for growth theory and relies on groups of countries obeying a constant growth equation for its robustness. In this paper I investigate the causality from investment to GDP using postwar time-series data from the ...
