Technology Shocks Matter
I use the neoclassical growth model to identify the effects of technology shocks on the US business cycle. The model includes two sources of technology shocks: neutral, which affect the production of all goods homogeneously, and investment-specific. Investmentspecific shocks are the unique source of the secular trend in the real price of investment goods, while both shocks are the only factors ...
متن کاملChanging Business Dynamism: Volatility of Shocks vs. Responsiveness to Shocks?
The pace of business dynamism as measured by indicators such as job reallocation has declined in the U.S. in recent decades, but this decline has not been monotonic for all sectors. For the High Tech sector, business dynamism as measured by the pace of job reallocation rose through the 1990s but then declined sharply in the post-2000 period. This is in contrast with the Retail Trade sector, whi...
متن کاملModeling Investment-Sector Efficiency Shocks: When Does Disaggregation Matter?∗
The most straightforward way to analyze investment-sector productivity developments is to construct a two-sector model with a sector-specific productivity shock. An often used modeling shortcut accounts for such developments using a one-sector model with shocks to the efficiency of investment in a capital accumulation equation. This shortcut is theoretically justified when some stringent condit...
متن کاملSovereign default: which shocks matter?
This paper analyses a small open economy that wants to borrow from abroad, cannot commit to repay debt but faces costs if it decides to default. The model generates analytical expressions for the impact of shocks on the incentive compatible level of debt. Debt reduction generated by severe output shocks is no more than a couple of percentage points. In contrast, shocks to world interest rates c...
متن کاملDoes aid mitigate external shocks ?
This paper investigates the role of aid in mitigating the adverse effects of commodity export price shocks on growth in commodity-dependent countries. Using a large crosscountry dataset, we find that negative shocks matter for short-term growth, while the ex ante risk of shocks does not seem to matter. We also find that both the level of aid and the flexibility of the exchange rate substantiall...
