Uncertainty?driven business cycles: Assessing the markup channel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Precautionary pricing and increasing markups in representative?agent DSGE models with nominal rigidities are commonly used to generate negative output effects of uncertainty shocks. We assess whether this theoretical model channel is consistent the data. Three things stand out. First, precautionary wage setting, we find that increase after Second, impulse responses price largely inconsistent standard model, both at aggregate as well industry level. Finally, contrast times?series evidence, our robustly predicts shocks have a quantitatively small impact on economy.

The Markup and the Business Cycle Reconsidered*
A fresh interpretation is provided of the influential finding that the markup of prices over marginal costs is counter-cyclical. Using Rotemberg and Woodford’s (1991) data set we argue that the markup is best modelled as a variable that is integrated of order one. A consequence of this finding is that the markup cannot be related in the long run with business-cycle variables since these are tra...

Perhaps an unknown origin of such similarities, as an open question, is the main reason of these interests. So, with regard to the mentioned question, the aim of this paper is to investigate some ...
متن کاملMarkup cycles, dynamic misallocation, and amplification
We develop a tractable dynamic general equilibrium model of oligopolistic competition with a continuum of heterogeneous industries. Industries are exposed to aggregate and industry-specific productivity shocks. Firms in each industry set value-maximizing state-contingent markups, taking as given the behavior of all other industries. When consumers are risk-averse, industry markups are countercy...
متن کاملBusiness cycles
This note outlines and discusses some of the strands in the post-Keynesian literature on business cycles. Most post-Keynesians have focused on endogenously generated cycles, but the mechanism varies: some focus on the goods market, others on financial markets, the labor market, or political intervention. The merits of formal modeling of the cycles have also come in for debate. 1 A slightly vers...
متن کاملA Markup Language for ORM Business Rules
Conceptual modeling techniques such as EER, ORM and to some extent the UML have been developed in the past for building information systems. These techniques or suitable extensions can often also be used to design business rules at a conceptual level. In particular in this paper we adopt the well-known CM technique of ORM, which has a rich complement of business rule specification, and develop ...
