The Paper approaches business cycles in terms of extrinsic uncertainty related, not to dynamic indeterminacy of … static indeterminacy of free entry oligopolistic equilibria within each period. We consider an OLG economy in which firms … dynamic indeterminacy, we can weaken the condition on the degree of increasing returns, which may be arbitrarily small (with a …

This paper investigates the accuracy and heterogeneity of output growth and inflation forecasts during the current and the four preceding NBER-dated U.S. recessions. We generate forecasts from six different models of the U.S. economy and compare them to professional forecasts from the Federal...

This paper compares two theories of involuntary unemployment: the efficiency-wage theory and the insider …-outsider theory. We indicate that one of the central problems in providing microfoundations for the existence of involuntary … unemployment is to explain why there is no underbidding, and we compare the two theories in this contex. …
