Production Chains

Levine, David - In: Review of Economic Dynamics 15 (2012) 3, pp. 271-282

More advanced technologies demand higher degrees of specialization - and longer chains of production connecting raw inputs to final outputs. Longer production chains are subject to a "weakest link" effect: they are more fragile and more prone to failure. Optimal chain length is determined by the...

A Dynamic General Equilibrium Analysis of Migration and Capital Formation: The Case of Canada

Wilson, Stuart J. - In: Review of Economic Dynamics 6 (2003) 2, pp. 455-481

A dynamic general equilibrium model is constructed to examine the impact of mass immigration on capital accumulation in life-cycle economies. The model is calibrated to match Canadian demographic characteristics over 1861-1913. This was a period when Canada experienced a dramatic shift in...

Financial Intermediation and Occupational Choice in Development

Erosa, Andres - In: Review of Economic Dynamics 4 (2001) 2, pp. 303-334

The (Interesting) Dynamic Properties of the Neoclassical Growth Model with CES Production

Smetters, Kent - In: Review of Economic Dynamics 6 (2003) 3, pp. 697-707

Despite being the standard growth model for several decades, little is actually known analytically about the dynamic properties of the neoclassical Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans growth model. This papers derives analytically the properties of the endogenous savings rate when technology takes the Constant...

Idiosyncratic Risk in the United States and Sweden: Is There a Role for Government Insurance?

Floden, Martin; Lindé, Jesper - In: Review of Economic Dynamics 4 (2001) 2, pp. 406-437

We examine the effects of government redistribution schemes in an economy where agents are subject to uninsurable, individual specific productivity risk. In particular, we consider the trade-off between positive insurance effects and negative distortions on labor supply and saving. We...

Information Flows and News Driven Business Cycles

Leeper, Eric; Walker, Todd - In: Review of Economic Dynamics 14 (2011) 1, pp. 55-71

How do information flows influence business cycle dynamics in models with anticipated (news shocks) and unanticipated innovations? To address this question, we show how alternative specifications of news affect the equilibrium by deriving the mapping between news shocks and the endogenous...
