This study investigates the impact of management style on research performance in science. If a managerial role is played by a leading scientist in the research team, that is considered management-research integration. If not, we consider that management and research are separated. We found that...

In science, research teams are increasing in size, which suggests that science is becoming more organisational. This paper aims to empirically investigate the effects of the division of labour in management and science on serendipity, which has been considered one of the great factors in...

This paper demonstrates that the interactions of firm-level indivisible investments give rise to aggregate fluctuations without aggregate exogenous shocks. I develop a method to derive the distribution of the aggregate capital growth rate by embedding a fictitious tatonnement in a branching...

This paper quantifies the effect of time-varying employment risks on the fluctuations of aggregate consumption in a dynamic general equilibrium with incomplete markets. A government's redistribution policy through provision of unemployment insurance can cause a positive correlation between...

This paper demonstrates endogenous fluctuations of aggregate investments when firm-level investments follow an (S,s) policy and exhibit strategic complementarity. We present a method to characterize the aggregate fluctuations that arise from the interaction of the (S,s) policies. A closed-form...

This paper analytically demonstrates that the tails of income and wealth distributions converge to a Pareto distribution in a variation of the Solow or Ramsey growth model where households bear idiosyncratic investment shocks. The Pareto exponent is shown to be decreasing in the shock variance,...

This paper studies the effect of strategic complementarity among firms' lumpy investments on the fluctuations of aggregate investments. We investigate an extensive panel data set on Italian manufacturing firms. We first show that the fluctuations of fraction of firms that experience large...

This paper presents a model of endogenous fluctuations of investment and output at the business cycles frequencies. Aggregate investments fluctuate endogenously due to the strategic complementarity of micro-level lumpy investments. The investment fluctuations are transmitted to the output via...
