Working Paper 94-1 VARIANCE PROPERTIES OF SOLOW'S PRODUCTIVITY RESIDUAL AND THEIR CYCLICAL IMPLICATIONS
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the United States economy (1960-1989), the correlation between the growth rates of the Solow residual and the real price of energy (government spending) is -0.55 (0.09). The Solow residual confounds movements in energy prices and government spending with those in true technology. Why? To address this question, this study develops a model to see if it quantitatively captures the endogenous transmission mechanism underlying the observed Solow residual correlations. It does. The transmission mechanism depends on endogenous capital utilization. With this transmission mechanism in place, and with the occurrence of shocks to `true' technology, energy prices, and government spending, the model economy accounts for 76 or 89 percent of U.S. output volatility, well matches the U.S. empirical regularities involving capital utilization and the Solow residual, and is generally consistent with other features of U.S. business cycles.

Residual implications and co-implications from idempotent uninorms
This paper is devoted to the study of implication (and co-implication) functions defined from idempotent uninorms. The expression of these implications, a list of their properties, as well as some particular cases are studied. It is also characterized when these implications satisfy some additional properties specially interesting in the framework of implication functions, like contrapositive s...
متن کاملType-2 implications on non-interactive fuzzy truth values
In this paper we consider algebras of fuzzy truth values equipped with an implication operation. Generalizing the definition of type-1 fuzzy implications, we discuss extended fuzzy S-implications and coimplications and also extended residual implications and coimplications, in particular to the extended residual of minimum. We study the algebraic properties of these operations and their relatio...
متن کاملTesting for Causality in Variance using Multivariate GARCH Models
Tests of causality in variance in multiple time series have been proposed recently, based on residuals of estimated univariate models. Although such tests are applied frequently little is known about their power properties. In this paper we show that a convenient alternative to residual based testing is to specify a multivariate volatility model, such as multivariate GARCH (or BEKK), and constr...
متن کاملEffects on phenotypic variability of directional selection arising through genetic differences in residual variability.
In standard models of quantitative traits, genotypes are assumed to differ in mean but not variance of the trait. Here we consider directional selection for a quantitative trait for which genotypes also confer differences in variability, viewed either as differences in residual phenotypic variance when individual loci are concerned or as differences in environmental variability when the whole g...
متن کاملQuantile Approach of Generalized Cumulative Residual Information Measure of Order $(alpha,beta)$
In this paper, we introduce the concept of quantile-based generalized cumulative residual entropy of order $(alpha,beta)$ for residual and past lifetimes and study their properties. Further we study the proposed information measure for series and parallel system when random variable are untruncated or truncated in nature and some characterization results are presented. At the end, we study gene...
