Large fluctuations in energy prices have been a distinguishing characteristic of the U.S. economy since the 1970s. Turmoil in the Middle East, rising energy prices in the U.S. and evidence of global warming recently have reignited interest in the link between energy prices and economic...

Many real business cycle models lack a significant propagation mechanism. Consequently most of the serial correlation …

This paper demonstrates that sectoral heterogeneity itself, without additional bells or whistles, has important, first-order implications for the transmission of aggregate shocks to aggregate variables in an otherwise standard DSGE model. The effects of sectoral heterogeneity on this...

Does it matter for the propagation mechanism following nominal shocks whether nominal rigidities are specified as … persistence pattern. Specifically, nominal wage and price rigidities are equivalent "impact adjusted" propagation mechanisms …

We show how on-the-job search and the propagation of shocks to the economy are intricately linked. Rising search by …

invest when the aggregate demand is high. This causes a propagation of investment across sectors. When the investment follows … an (S,s) policy, the propagation size can exhibit a significant fluctuation. We characterize the probability distribution … of the propagation size, and show that its variance can be large enough to match the observed investment fluctuations. We …

I build a general equilibrium financial accelerator model that incorporates an explicit technology for the intermediary sector. A credit multiplier emerges because of a borrowing constraint that is a function of asset prices, internal funds and lending rates. With this financial friction I show...
