Recent studies using long-run restrictions question the validity of the technology driven real business cycle … hypothesis. We propose an alternative identification that maximizes the contribution of technology shocks to the forecast … estimation precision. When applied to the data, the hours response is shown to be sensitive to the contribution of non-technology …
