Energy and the Macroeconomy: The Role of Consumer Durables

Jeske, Karsten; Dhawan, Rajeev - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2006

So far the literature on DSGE models with energy price shocks models energy on the production side only. In these models, energy shocks are responsible for only a negligible share of output fluctuations. We study the robustness of this finding. The aim of our paper is to model the response of...

Agency Costs, Net Worth, and Endogenous Business Fluctuations

Favara, Giovanno - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2006

The role of credit market imperfections as source of amplification and persistence of temporary exogenous shocks to the economy is widely accepted in the literature. Little attention has been paid to the possibility that credit frictions also generate instability. This paper proposes a theory of...

The Power of Print

Alexopoulos, Michelle - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2006

Beginning with the seminal work by Kydland and Prescott, standard business cycle theory has credited technology shocks with being a major source of business cycle fluctuations. Unfortunately, these shocks, by their nature, are hard to identify and measure. This paper utilizes new measures of...

Firing Costs and Business Cycle Fluctuations

Veracierto, Marcelo - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2004

This paper evaluates to what extent the introduction of firing costs can affect the aggregate dynamics of a neoclassical growth model with heterogeneous establishments. Similarly to the previous literature, firing costs are found to have large steady-state effects. However, they have no...

Occasionally Binding Collateral Constraints in RBC Models

Espino, Emilio; Hintermaier, Thomas - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2004

The real business cycle (RBC) model pioneered by Kydland and Prescott (1982) was a fundamental step to understand business cycles. This literature, in general, claims that aggregate technology shocks are the main ingredient to explain these fluctuations. However, in order to match various...
