The Aggregate Implications of Innovative Investment in the Garcia-Macia, Hsieh, and Klenow Model
In this paper, we extend the model of firm dynamics of Garcia-Macia, Klenow, and Hsieh (2016) (GHK) to include a description of the costs of innovative investments as in the models of Klette and Kortum (2004), Luttmer (2007, 2011), and Atkeson and Burstein (2010). In this model, aggregate productivity (TFP) grows as a result of innovative investment by incumbent and entering firms in improving ...
متن کاملIndustry Dynamics: From Elemental to Aggregate Models
Elemental models of the form pioneered by Ericson and Pakes (1995) capture the dynamics of a finite number of heterogeneous firms as they compete in an industry. Available algorithms can determine Markov perfect equilibrium behavior, though computational requirements become onerous when there are more than a few incumbent firms. Aggregate models of the form pioneered by Hopenhayn (1992), on the...
متن کاملSecuritization and Aggregate Investment Efficiency
This paper studies the efficiency of competitive equilibria in economies where the expansion of investment is facilitated by securitization. We show that the use of securitization is generally associated with constrained inefficient aggregate investment, thereby justifying regulatory intervention in markets for securitized assets. We examine the effectiveness of three policy instruments to addr...
متن کاملEconomic Instability and Aggregate Investment
A recent literature suggests that because investment expenditures are irreversible and can be delayed, they may be highly sensitive to uncertainty. We briefly summarize the theory, stressing its empirical implications. We then use cross-section and time-series data for a set of developing and industrialized countries to explore the relevance of the theory for aggregate investment. We find that ...
متن کاملUnderstanding Changes in Aggregate Business Fixed Investment
On average, higher levels of such investments raise production by increasing the productivity of the labor force. While the significance of shortterm changes in business investment is less widely recognized, the importance of such changes for the business cycle has been known to economists since the beginning of the last century. For example, many believe that the current record expansion has b...
