Noisy Business Cycles
Angeletos, George-Marios - 2009
This paper investigates a real-business-cycle economy that features dispersed information about the underlying aggregate productivity shocks, taste shocks, and, potentially, shocks to monopoly power. We show how the dispersion of information can (i) contribute to significant inertia in the...

Factor Hoarding and the Propagation of Business Cycles Shocks
Burnside, Craig - 1994
This paper analyzes the role of variable capital utilization rates in propagating shocks over the business cycle. To this end we formulate and estimate an equilibrium business cycle model in which cyclical capital utilization rates are viewed as a form of factor hoarding. We find that variable...

Real Business Cycles in Emerging Countries?
Garcia Cicco, Javier - 2010
We use more than one century of Argentine and Mexican data to estimate the structural parameters of a small-open-economy real-business-cycle model driven by nonstationary productivity shocks. We find that the RBC model does a poor job at explaining business cycles in emerging countries. We then...

Assessing Structural VARs
Christiano, Lawrence J. - 2006
This paper analyzes the quality of VAR-based procedures for estimating the response of the economy to a shock. We focus … question that has attracted a great deal of attention in the literature: How do hours worked respond to an identified shock? In … all of our examples, as long as the variance in hours worked due to a given shock is above the remarkably low number of 1 …
