A competitive business cycle model is developed in which internal increasing returns translate a white noise random shock into temporarily agglomerated economic activity. Te qualitative nature of the economy varies over the cycle due to changes in the underlying economic structure, giving rise...

We examine the effect of introducing price stickiness into a stochastic growth model subject to a cash in advance constraint. As has been previously documented the introduction of price rigidities provides a substantial source of monetary non-neutrality, leads to a strong positive correlation...

We examine the ability of six labour market models to account for the business cycle behaviour of UK labour markets when embedded in a stochastic growth model. WE assess the models in terms of : (i) their ability to mimic general business cycle correlations and volatility (ii) their success at...
