We provide evidence on the relationship between aggregate uncertainty and the macroeconomy. Identifying uncertainty shocks using methods from the news shocks literature, the analysis finds that innovations in realized stock market volatility are robustly followed by contractions, while shocks to...

We use a broad set of Chinese economic indicators and a dynamic factor model framework to estimate Chinese economic activity and inflation as latent variables. We incorporate these latent variables into a factor-augmented vector autoregression (FAVAR) to estimate the effects of Chinese monetary...

Most existing studies of the macroeconomic effects of global shocks assume that they are mediated by a single intratemporal relative price such as the terms of trade and possibly an intertemporal price such as the world interest rate. This paper presents an empirical framework in which multiple...

This paper develops two models, one involving risk neutrality and the other risk aversion, which suggest that inflation … uncertainty affects interest rates. Both models give rise to essentially the same interest rate equation for estimation. Empirical … evidence supports the hypothesis that inflation uncertainty affects interest rates. Interpreted in terms of the risk neutral …

The magnitude of and heterogeneity in systematic earnings risk has important implications for various theories in macro …, labor, and financial economics. Using administrative data, we document how the aggregate risk exposure of individual … earnings to GDP and stock returns varies across gender, age, the worker's earnings level, and industry.
