Time to Plan and Aggregate Fluctuations
This article investigates the business cycle implications of the planning phase of business investment projects. Time to plan is built into a Kydland-Prescott time-to-build model, which assumes that investment projects take four periods to complete. In the Kydland-Prescott time-to-build model, resources for these projects flow uniformly across the four periods; in the time-to-plan model, few re...
متن کاملAggregate and Regional Disaggregate Fluctuations Aggregate and Regional Disaggregate Fluctuations
This paper models uctuations in regional disaggregates as a nonstationary, dynamically evolving distribution. Doing so enables study of the dynamics of aggregate uctuations jointly with those of the rich cross-section of regional disaggregates. For the US, the leading state| regardless of which it happens to be|contains strong predictive power for aggregate uctuations. This e ect is di cult to ...
متن کاملCompetition , Innovation , and Aggregate Fluctuations ∗
In this paper I study the link between innovation efforts, competition, and aggregate uncertainty. A productive sector consists in a continuum of duopolies that face a stochastic aggregate demand. In each industry the two firms choose their level of innovation through intertemporal optimization given their respective market power in the business. Since competition in the model lessens ex ante p...
متن کاملRational Inattention and Aggregate Fluctuations
This paper introduces the rational inattention hypothesis (RI) – that agents process information subject to finite channel constraints – into a stochastic growth model with permanent technology shocks. We find that RI raises consumption volatility relative to output by introducing an endogenous demand shock. Furthermore, it is shown that incorporating RI can provide an additional internal propa...
متن کاملLocal Complementarities and Aggregate Fluctuations
Accumulating microeconomic evidence points both to firm level adjustment lumpiness and to the significant influence of idiosyncratic disturbances. Do these matter for aggregate fluctuations, or do their effects largely vanish upon aggregation? This paper explores the implications of local strategic complementarities and firmlevel adjustment lumpiness for aggregate fluctuations. It shows that sm...
