Sunspots, Coordination, and Innovation Cycles
I propose a theoretical mechanism that offers a possible explanation for the post-Great Recession stagnation experience observed in many industrialized countries. The theory is based on failures in the coordination of the beliefs of productive and innovative agents. In the model, an innovative sector determines endogenously the long-run growth rate of the economy, and research exhibits positive...
متن کاملDo Sunspots Produce Business Cycles?
I compare the canonical sunspots and real business cycle models of aggregate fluctuations. The sunspots model, distinguished by production externalities, is better able to reproduce the typical spectral shape of growth rates found in the data. However, it generates excessive investment volatility and overstates high frequency behavior in employment, investment and output series. The introductio...
متن کاملLegal Restrictions and Optimal Contracts∗
Real-world transactions are often limited: Not all contracts are legal. As a result, I show economic examples where the only way to achieve first-best is as follows. First, the parties contractually commit to a different and ineffi cient different outcome. Then, they secretly violate the contract and coordinate play on first-best. If the parties were to contractually commit to first best, they ...
متن کاملPrediction Methods in Solar Sunspots Cycles
An understanding of the Ohl's Precursor Method, which is used to predict the upcoming sunspots activity, is presented by employing a simplified movable divided-blocks diagram. Using a new approach, the total number of sunspots in a solar cycle and the maximum averaged monthly sunspots number Rz(max) are both shown to be statistically related to the geomagnetic activity index in the prior solar ...
متن کاملRevisiting the Legal Restrictions Hypothesis∗
This paper re-examines the so-called coexistence puzzle in terms of a modified version of the legal restrictions hypothesis initially put forth by Bryant and Wallace (1980). The modification is in terms of dropping a questionable assumption in the original hypothesis; i.e., that large denomination government bonds cannot be intermediated by private banks. This restriction is replaced by one tha...
