We characterize the dispersion of firm-level productivity and demand shocks over the business cycle using Swedish … microdata including prices and analyse the consequences for firms and the aggregate economy. Demand dispersion increases by more … than productivity dispersion in recessions. Productivity shocks pass through incompletely to prices and have limited effect …

We study how total factor productivity (TFP), energy prices, and the Great Moderation are linked. First we estimate a … negatively affected productivity. This spillover has since disappeared. Second, we show that within the framework of a dynamic … stochastic general equilibrium model, the disappearance of this energy-productivity spillover generates the significantly lower …
