Financial Frictions, Financial Shocks, and Aggregate Volatility
I revisit the Great Inflation and the Great Moderation for nominal and real variables. I document a dichotomy in the evolution of the cyclical volatility of financial variables since the mid-1980s. While financial price variables are smoother during the Great Moderation, financial quantity measures experience an immoderation. A model with financial frictions and financial shocks allowing for st...
متن کاملOil Price Shocks and Aggregate Fluctuations
This paper analyzes the effects of oil price shocks on the characteristics of the business cycle and on welfare in a small open economy, such as in the case of the Spanish economy. The results show the ability of the model to reproduce the business cycle path of the Spanish economy, especially in those periods when shocks in the price of oil were most dramatic. Furthermore, the model reproduces...
متن کاملAsset price fluctuations without aggregate shocks
We analyze the pricing of a productive asset in a class of dynamic exchange economies with heterogeneous, infinitely–lived agents, and self–enforcing intertemporal trades. Individual incomes fluctuate and are correlated; preferences, dividends and aggregate income are fixed. Almost all economies in this class have a unique stationary Markovian equilibrium with fluctuations in asset prices. As t...
متن کاملHistorical Energy Price Shocks and their Effects on the Economy
The purpose of this paper is to identify the changes in the impact of energy shocks on economic activity at different phases of economic development – with an interest in assessing if the economy’s vulnerability and resilience to shocks improved. Using data on the United Kingdom over the last three hundred years, the paper replicates a method introduced by Kilian (2008) to disentangle supply, d...
متن کاملRelative-price Changes as Aggregate Supply Shocks* Laurence
This paper proposes a theory of supply shocks, or shifts in the short-run Phillips curve, based on relative-price changes and frictions in nominal price adjustment. When price adjustment is costly, firms adjust to large shocks but not to small shocks, and so large shocks have disproportionate effects on the price level. Therefore, aggregate inflation depends on the distribution of relative-pric...
