Productivity , Energy Prices , and the Great Moderation : A
We study how total factor productivity (TFP), energy prices, and the Great Moderation are linked. First we estimate a joint stochastic process for the energy price and TFP and establish that until the second quarter of 1982, energy prices negatively affected productivity. This spillover has since disappeared. Second, we show that within the framework of a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium ...

First, we estimate a joint stochastic process for the energy price and TFP and establish that until 1982:II, energy prices negatively affected productivity. This spill-over has since disappeared. Second, we show that within the framework of a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model, the ...

Increased focus on price stability by a discretionary central bank reduces output and price volatility in a model with rationally inattentive …rms. The volatility reduction can be arbitrarily large, e.g., imply a 'Great Moderation', and is particularly pronounced when …rms can process information almost perfectly.

While previous studies on the issue are limited to examining inventory management, we analyse the role of better supply chain management on enhancing firms’ ability to coordinate their production. By investigating ordering and backordering behaviour i...

The economy of the United States was markedly less volatile in the past two to three decades than in prior periods. The nation enjoyed long economic expansions in each of the last three decades, interrupted by recessions in 1990-91 and 2001 that were mild by historical standards. While it has proven difficult to conclusively pinpoint the causes of the reduced volatility, candidates include stru...
