We develop a dynamic general equilibrium model to study the impact of the 2003 dividend and capital gains tax cuts. In … the model, firms are heterogeneous in productivity and make investment and financing decisions subject to capital … adjustment costs, equity issuance costs, and collateral constraints. We show that when the dividend and capital gains tax cuts …

We study the effects of credit shocks in a model with heterogeneous entrepreneurs, financing constraints, and a realistic firm-size distribution. As entrepreneurial firms can grow only slowly and rely heavily on retained earnings to expand the size of their business, we show that, by reducing...

This paper shows that aggregate investment expenditure shares on tradable and nontradable goods are very similar in rich and poor countries, as well as in different regions of the world. Furthermore, the two expenditure shares have remained close to constant over time, with the average...

This paper studies, within a general equilibrium model, the dynamics of Y2K-type shocks: anticipated, permanent losses in output whose magnitude can be lessened by investing resources in advance. The implied dynamics replicate three observed characteristics of those triggered by the Y2K bug: (1)...

This paper develops a dynamic general-equilibrium model of capital adjustments under monopolistic competition …. Investments are partially irreversible. The model includes microfoundations for consumption decisions and capital …-adjustment strategies. The effects of the model parameters on the optimal capital-adjustment strategy are determined analytically. A major …
