Illusive Persistence in German Unemployment

Tschernig, Rolf J.V.; Zimmermann, Klaus F - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1992

The non-stationarity of many macroeconomic time series has lead to an increased demand for economic models that are able to generate fragile equilibria. For instance, in this literature the natural unemployment rate is allowed to shift over time depending on past unemployment. Actually, many...

Cross-Sectional Heterogeneity and the Persistence of Aggregate Fluctuations

Michelacci, Claudio - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004

The micro evidence indicates that small firms grow faster than big firms. I argue that this relationship between the expected growth rate of a firm and its size may provide a micro foundation for the well-known high degree of persistence of shocks to aggregate output. The logic goes as follows....

Imperfect Labour Markets, the Stock Market and the Inefficiency of Capitalism

Manning, Alan - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1989

Canzoneri, Matthew B; Dellas, Harris - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1995

Voth, Hans-Joachim - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2002
