Investment Under Rational Inattention : Evidence from US Sectoral Data

Zorn, Peter - 2020

Macroeconomic and sector-specific shocks exert differential effects on investment in disaggregate sectoral data. The … monotonically. A calibrated model of investment with convex capital adjustment costs and rational inattention explains these … features of the data. The model matches the empirical responses of sectoral investment because learning about shocks generates …

Exchange Competition, Entry, and Welfare

Cespa, Giovanni - 2019

We integrate a market microstructure model with an exchange competition model with entry in which exchanges supply technological services that enhance market participation, and have market power. We find that technological services can be strategic substitutes or complements in platform...

The Competitive Effects of Declining Entry Costs Over Time : Evidence from the Static Random Access Memory Market

Liu, An-Hsiang - 2020

We focus on the estimation of market entry costs that are declining over time and evaluate their impact on competition and market performance. We employ a dynamic oligopoly model in which firms make entry, exit, and production decisions in the presence of declining entry costs and learning by...

Welfare-Enhancing Trade Unions in an Oligopoly with Excessive Entry

de Pinto, Marco - 2019

Trade unions are often argued to cause allocative inefficiencies and to lower welfare. We analyze whether this evaluation is also justified in a Cournot-oligopoly with free but costly entry. If input markets are competitive and output per firm declines with the number of firms (business...

Trade Costs, Market Access and Economic Geography : Why the Empirical Specification of Trade Costs Matters

Bosker, Erik Maarten; Garretsen, Harry - 2021

Trade costs are crucial in new economic geography (NEG) models. The unavailability of actual trade costs data requires the approximation of trade costs. Most NEG studies do not deal with the ramifications of the particular trade costs specification used. This paper shows that the specification...

Strategic Limitation of Market Accessibility : Search Platform Design and Welfare

Teh, Chris; Wang, Chengsi; Watanabe, Makoto - 2023

This paper explores the relationship between market accessibility and various participants’ welfare in an intermediated directed-search market. For a general class of meeting technologies, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition under which efficiency requires imperfect accessibility,...

Shocks, Frictions, and Inequality in US Business Cycles

Bayer, Christian - 2020

How much does inequality matter for the business cycle and vice versa? Using a Bayesian likelihood approach, we estimate a heterogeneous-agent New-Keynesian (HANK) model with incomplete markets and portfolio choice between liquid and illiquid assets. The model enlarges the set of shocks and...

The Propagation of Monetary Policy Shocks in a Heterogeneous Production Economy

Pasten, Ernesto - 2019

We study the transmission of monetary policy shocks in a model in which realistic heterogeneity in price rigidity interacts with heterogeneity in sectoral size and input-output linkages, and derive conditions under which these heterogeneities generate large real effects. Empirically,...
