Imperfect Competition and the Effects of Energy Price Increases on Economic Activity
Rotemberg, Julio J. - 1996
We show that modifying the standard neoclassical growth model by assuming that competition is imperfect makes it easier to explain the size of the declines in output and real wages that follow increases in the price of oil. Plausibly parameterized models of this type are able to mimic the...

An Energy-centric Theory of Agglomeration
Moreno-Cruz, Juan - 2016
This paper sets out a simple spatial model of energy exploitation to ask how the location and productivity of energy … resources affects the distribution of economic activity across geographic space. By combining elements from energy economics and … economic geography we link the productivity of energy resources to the incentives for economic activity to agglomerate. We find …

Input-Output Networks and Misallocation
Hang, Jing - 2020
This paper develops a framework for studying the macroeconomic costs of resource misallocation. The framework enables the assessment of the conditions under which the existing estimates in the misallocation literature, which are largely based on a value-added production structure and ignore...

Misallocation, Economic Growth, and Input-Output Economics
Jones, Charles I. - 2011
One of the most important developments in the growth literature of the last decade is the enhanced appreciation of the role that the misallocation of resources plays in helping us understand income differences across countries. Misallocation at the micro level typically reduces total factor...

Monetary Policy through Production Networks : Evidence from the Stock Market
Ozdagli, Ali - 2017
Monetary policy shocks have a large impact on stock returns in narrow windows around press releases by the Federal Reserve. We use spatial autoregressions to decompose the overall effect of monetary policy shocks into a direct effect and an indirect (network) effect. We attribute 50%-85% of the...

Distortions and the Structure of the World Economy
Caliendo, Lorenzo - 2017
We develop a model of the world economy as input-output relationships subject to distortions. We then propose a methodology to solve the identification problem, common to the literature on misallocation in input-output relationships, of separating sectoral TFPs from the sectoral distortions....

Internalizing Global Value Chains : A Firm-Level Analysis
Alfaro, Laura - 2015
In recent decades, advances in information and communication technology and falling trade barriers have led firms to retain within their boundaries and in their domestic economies only a subset of their production stages. A key decision facing firms worldwide is the extent of control to exert...

Global Value Chains and Effective Exchange Rates at the Country-Sector Level
Patel, Nikhil - 2014
The real effective exchange rate (REER) is one of the most cited statistical constructs in international macroeconomics. With the rising importance of offshoring and outsourcing, the standard measures are increasingly flawed. In addition, because different sectors within a country may...

Quantifying International Production Sharing at the Bilateral and Sector Levels
Wang, Zhi - 2013
This paper generalizes the gross exports accounting framework, initially proposed by Koopman, Wang, and Wei (2014) for a country's aggregate exports, to one at the sector, bilateral, and bilateral-sector levels. Such a generalization requires a conceptual distinction between value added exports...
