Business Cycle , Reallocation of Labor and Asset Prices by Anton Petukhov

چکیده
Empirical literature on reallocation of resources during business cycles provides an evidence of increased reallocation of labor across firms during downturns. In this paper I build a theoretical model with search frictions in the labor market, that is consistent with this observation, and study implications of search and match frictions for the cross section of stock returns. In the model firms having more growth opportunities benefit from recessions due to more slack in the labor market which allows them to expand quicker and convert higher share of their growth opportunities into profitable projects. This feature generates a return spread between value and growth firms. In the model sorts of stocks based on different growth indicators yield patterns documented empirically in previous studies.

Search, Asset Liquidity and Business Cycles
This paper presents a real business cycle model with search frictions in the asset market, where equity liquidity is endogenously determined. I use the model to study how labor input, asset liquidity and asset prices fluctuate in response to productivity and liquidity shocks, and how, in turn, these fluctuations magnify the impact of productivity shocks on economic activity. A household’s inves...
متن کاملUnemployment and Endogenous Reallocation over the Business Cycle
We build an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic equilibrium model of unemployment in heterogeneous labor markets. Facing search frictions within markets and reallocation frictions between markets, workers endogenously separate from employment and endogenously reallocate between markets, in response to changing aggregate and local conditions. Empirically, using the 1986-2008 SI...
متن کاملDynamics of Housing Prices and Economic Fluctuations in Iran with the Approach of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE)
This paper studies the relationship between housing prices and business cycles in Iran. Since housing has a dual nature, that is, both private and capital nature, it can play an important role in investment costs and economic growth and incite other manufacturing sectors in the country. In this paper, housing prices and business cycles have been used to measure housing as a collateral, which is...
متن کاملMonetary Transmission, Asset Prices, and The Business Cycle Indicator in Germany
We analyze monetary transmission in Germany and focus on two elements. First, we address the role of asset prices in monetary transmission, especially the role of housing and equity. We show that including assets helps in understanding the monetary transmission process. Housing is found to be more important in Germany than equity. Next we emphasize the role of business cycle indicators in VAR-m...
متن کاملThe Effects of Contracting and Labor Search on Risks in Financial Markets
My research employs theoretical modeling and quantitative analysis to study the interaction between market frictions and risks in the areas of Banking and Asset Pricing. Specifically, I examine how frictions in contracting and search affect systemic risk and asset prices. Sparked by the recent crisis, linkages among financial firms are identified as a major source of systemic risk. In chapter o...
