New evidence, old puzzles : technology shocks and labor market dynamics
Balleer, Almut - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 3 (2012) 3, pp. 363-392
Can the standard search-and-matching labor market model replicate the business cycle fluctuations of the job finding rate and the unemployment rate? In the odel, these fluctuations are driven by movements in productivity. This paper inestigates the sources of productivity fluctuations that are...

Higher-order income risk over the business cycle
Busch, Christopher; Ludwig, Alexander - 2020
We extend the canonical income process with persistent and transitory risk to shock distributions with left-skewness and excess kurtosis, to which we refer as higherorder risk. We estimate our extended income process by GMM for household data from the United States. We find countercyclical...

Government deficit shocks and Okun's coefficient volatility : new insights on the austerity versus growth debate
Binh Thai Pham; Sala, Hector - 2019
This paper connects two salient economic features: (i) Fiscal shocks have asymmetric effects across business cycle phases (Gechert et al., 2019); (ii) Okun's coefficient is time varying and may be unstable. The intertwined dynamic behavior of fiscal shocks and unemployment-output trade-offs are...

Total factor productivity and the propagation of shocks : empirical evidence and implications for the business cycle
Mayer, Eric; Rüth, Sebastian; Scharler, Johann - 2014
Using a sign restrictions approach, we document that total factor productivity (TFP) moves counter-cyclically in the aftermath of supply and demand side shocks. To interpret our empirical results, we conduct counter-factual simulations, based on a New Keynesian DSGE model in which TFP fluctuates...
