Tracking growth in the euro area subject to a dimensionality problem
Comunale, Mariarosaria; Mongelli, Francesco Paolo - 2021
We investigate which variables have supported growth in the euro area over the last 30 years. This is a challenging task due to dimensionality problems: a large set of potential determinants, limited data, and the prospect that some variables could be non-stationary. We assemble a set of 35...

Convex supply curves
Boehm, Christoph E.; Pandalai-Nayar, Nitya - 2020
We provide evidence that industries' supply curves are convex. To guide our empirical analysis, we develop a model, in which capacity constraints at the plant level generate convex supply curves at the industry level. The industry's capacity utilization rate is a sufficient statistic for the...
