We examine the dual role of labor adjustment costs and staggered wage contracts as endogenous propagation mechanisms. We show that a dynamic general equilibrium model which combines these two features explains the autocorrelation functions of output growth and nominal wage growth, as well as the...

An estimated dynamic general equilibrium model which features imperfectly competititve households, sticky nominal wages and costly labor input adjustment is shown to be consistent with several stylized aspects of U.S. postwar business cycle dynamics including the positive serial correlation of...

We analyze a stochastic general equilibrium model which incorporates three different types of government expenditure. We calibrate the model and estimate, using US data, the multivariate stochastic process generating the components of public expenditure and the Solow residual. These estimates...

We analyze a stochastic general equilibrium model which incorporates three different types of government expenditure. We calibrate the model and simulate it under the hypotheses of divisible and indivisible labor supply. Our results indicate that the addition of government expenditure shocks to...

Nombreux sont ceux qui croient que l'approche du cycle économique initiée par Lucas, Kydland et Prescott a pour objectif fondamental de doter les modèles macroéconomiques de fondements microéconomiques solides alors que l'approche IS-LM- courbe de Philipps se démarquerait par son souci et...
