It is common practice to estimate the volatility-growth link by specifying a standard growth equation such that the variance of the error term appears as an explanatory variable in this growth equation. The variance in turn is modelled by a second equation. Hardly any of existing applications of...

It is common practice to estimate the volatility-growth link by specifying a growth equation such that the variance of the error term appears as an explanatory variable. Hardly any of existing applications of this framework includes exogenous controls in the variance equation. We show that the...

Cyclical components are analytically computed in a theoretical model of stochastic endogenous fluctuations and growth. Volatility is shown to depend on the speed of convergence of the cyclical component, the expected length of a cycle and on the altitude of the slump. Taxes affect these channels...
