Accounting for Idiosyncratic Wage Risk Over the Business Cycle∗
We demonstrate that wage volatility, measured as the cross-sectional variance of wage changes in PSID data, is counter-cyclical. We quantify this relationship by estimating the regression coefficient of wage volatility on the national unemployment rate in a multilevel Bayesian model, then decompose this coefficient into three main factors. During a recession, wage volatility increases substanti...
متن کاملBank Lending Behaviour over the Business Cycle in Iran
This paper studies bank loans over the business cycles in Iran to determine the role of Iranian banks in stabilizing credit. By estimating the long-run relations using dynamic OLS and fully modified OLS estimators, the findings show that real bank lending is positively related to real GDP in the long-run providing evidences of the pro-cyclicality of bank lending in Iran. Hence, Iranian banking ...
متن کاملDownward wage rigidity and business cycle asymmetries
The growth rates of wages, unemployment and output of a number of OECD countries have a strongly skewed distribution. In this paper we analyze to what extent downward wage rigidities can explain these empirical business cycle asymmetries. To this aim, we introduce asymmetric wage adjustment costs in a New-Keynesian DSGE model with search and matching frictions in the labor market. Increasing wa...
متن کاملModeling Asymmetric Persistence over the Business Cycle
We address the issue of time varying persistence of shocks to macroeconomic time series variables by proposing a new and parsimonious time series model. Our model assumes that this time varying persistence depends on a linear combination of lagged explanatory variables, where this combination characterizes the business cycle regimes. The key feature of our model is that an autoregressive parame...
متن کاملModeling Inventories Over The Business Cycle
We search for useful models of aggregate fluctuations with inventories. We focus exclusively on dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models that endogenously give rise to inventory investment and evaluate two leading candidates: the (S,s) model and the stockout avoidance model. Each model is examined under both technology shocks and preference shocks, and its performance gauged by its ability...
