This paper examines the effects of expansionary technology shocks (shocks that increase labor productivity and factor … inputs) as opposed to contractionary technology shocks (shocks that increase labor productivity, but decrease factor inputs … productivity and production inputs. In addition, these shocks trigger different reactions of certain variables, which can help …

economic agents is described by a two-dimensional dynamical system in the employment rate and output/capital ratio. The economy … employment of labor, and constant input shares. The type of oscillations predicted by the model matches the available data on the … positive effect on the rate of output growth but a negative effect on employment. …

Labor productivity (LP) in the United States has gone from being procyclical to acyclical since the mid-1980s. Using … industry-level data, this paper first shows that total factor productivity (TFP), which is LP net of capital deepening, has … reasons for the change in the cyclicality of productivity. By decomposing TFP into technical change and input utilization, it …
