We propose a theoretical framework to reconcile episodes of V-shaped and L-shaped recovery, en- compassing the behaviour of the U.S. economy before and after the Great Recession. In a DSGE model with endogenous growth, negative demand shocks destroy productive capacity, moving GDP to a lower...

We use disaggregated data on the components of private fixed investment (PFI) to estimate industry-level responses of … real investment and capital prices to unanticipated monetary policy. The response functions derive from a restricted large … and quantities. For assets belonging to the equipment category of fixed investment, we find that quantities rather than …

A common finding in the international-economics literature is that the elasticity of substitution between domestically produced and imported goods is smaller in the short than in the long run. Despite this, most of today's commonly used macroeconomic models assume this elasticity to be constant....
