Neoclassical econometries: The kernel

Neoclassical Factors

We propose a new multifactor model that consists of the market factor and factor mimicking portfolios based on investment and productivity motivated from neoclassical reasoning. The neoclassical three-factor model goes a long way in explaining the average returns across testing portfolios formed on momentum, financial distress, investment, profitability, net stock issues, and valuation ratios. ...

Neoclassical Miracles

We study the dynamic behavior of a Neoclassical growth model with finite lifetimes and imperfect altruism in which individuals can accumulate both physical and human capital. We use the model to better understand and explain the behavior of economic miracles. Our results suggest that standard Neoclassical forces can account for the performance of the miracle economies and can explain the protra...

Intermediate Macroeconomics: The Neoclassical Business Cycle Model

We previously studied equilibrium in a particularly simple world – an endowment economy. This was useful for getting intuition about what determined the real interest rate, but lacked realism. In this section we endogenize supply. The concept of equilibrium is identical to before, but the set up is more interesting. Now we have firms that produce output using capital and labor, and households t...
