Intertwined Real and Monetary Stochastic Business Cycles

Kakarot-Handtke, Egmont - 2015

There is no such thing as a 'real' economy. The task, therefore, is to consistently reconstruct the fluctuations of employment and output from the interactions of real and nominal variables. The present paper does exactly this. No nonempirical concepts like utility, equilibrium, rationality,...

Agency business cycles

Golosov, Michail Ju.; Menzio, Guido - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 15 (2020) 1, pp. 123-158

We develop a theory of endogenous and stochastic fluctuations in economic activity. Individual firms choose to randomize over firing or keeping workers who performed poorly in the past to give them an ex-ante incentive to exert effort. Different firms choose to correlate the outcome of their...

Agency Business Cycles

Golosov, Mikhail - 2015

We propose a new business cycle theory. Firms need to randomize over firing or keeping workers who have performed poorly in the past, in order to give them an ex-ante incentive to exert effort. Firms have an incentive to coordinate the outcome of their randomizations, as coordination allows them...

Dynamic and Stochastic Search Equilibrium

Morales-Jimenez, Camilo - 2022

I study the business cycle properties of wage posting models with random search, for which the distributions of employment and wages play a nontrivial role for the equilibrium path. In fact, the main result of this paper is that the distribution of firms is one of the most important elements to...

A Bayesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model of stock market bubbles and business cycles

Miao, Jianjun; Wang, Pengfei; Xu, Zhiwei - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 6 (2015) 3, pp. 599-635

We present an estimated dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model of stock market bubbles and business cycles using Bayesian methods. Bubbles emerge through a positive feedback loop mechanism supported by self-fulfilling beliefs. We identify a sentiment shock that drives the movements of...

Modelling Stochastic Volatility with Leverage and Jumps : A Simulated Maximum Likelihood Approach via Particle Filtering

Malik, Sheheryar; Pitt, Michael K. - 2011

general class of discrete-time stochastic volatility (SV) models, characterized by both a leverage effect and jumps in returns … provides a feasible basis for undertaking the nontrivial task of model comparison. Furthermore, we introduce new volatility … model, namely SV-GARCH which attempts to bridge the gap between GARCH and stochastic volatility specifications. In nesting …
