Cho, Cooley, and Kim (RED, 2015) (CCK) consider the welfare effects of removing multiplicative productivity shocks from real business cycle models. In a model that admits an analytical solution they argue convincingly that the positive welfare effect of removing uncertainty can be dominated by a...

(1999-2016), and compare and contrast it to a model with indivisible labor and no unions as in Rogerson and Wright (1988 …). We find that the sequential bargaining between unions and firms produces an important internal propagation mechanism …

We study how labor market conditions affect unionization decisions. Tight labor markets might spur unionization, e.g., by reducing the threat of unemployment after management opposition or employer retaliation in response to a unionization attempt. Tightness might also weaken unionization by...

In his presidential address to the American Economic Association, Robert Lucas claimed that the welfare costs of the business cycle in the United States equaled .05 percent of consumption. His calculation compared the utility of a representative consumer receiving actual per-capita consumption...

Credit constraints that link a private agent's debt to market-determined prices create a systemic credit externality that drives a wedge between competitive and (constrained) socially optimal equilibria, which induces private agents to "overborrow". We quantify the effects of this externality in...

This paper reports quantitative implications of a stochastic endogenous growth model in which growth displays a concave relationship with respect to competition. This model is consistent with unavoidable facts related to market structure, that other innovation-based endogenous growth models fail...
