Sentiments and Aggregate Demand Fluctuations
We formalize the Keynesian insight that aggregate demand driven by sentiments can generate output fluctuations under rational expectations. When production decisions must be made under imperfect information about demand, optimal decisions based on sentiments can generate stochastic self-fulfilling rational expectations equilibria in standard economies without persistent informational frictions,...
متن کاملEndogenous Risk, Incentives and Aggregate Fluctuations
This paper analyzes a model in which incentive constrained contracting implies both ampli cation and intertemporal propagation of technology shocks. In the model risk averse agents choose between a riskless technology and a risky technology with higher expected return but also with moral hazard. Under the assumption of decreasing absolute risk aversion and intratemporal incentive provision agen...
متن کاملEndogenous fluctuations in the demand for education
Enrolment rates to higher education reveal quite large variation over time which cannot be explained by productivity shocks alone. We develop a human capital investment model in an overlapping generations framework that features endogenous fluctuations in the demand for education. Agents are heterogeneous in their beliefs about future wage differentials. An evolutionary competition between the ...
متن کاملSluggish Deposit Rates: Endogenous Institutions and Aggregate Fluctuations
The interest rates that banks pay on deposits move more slowly than money-market interest rates, a phenomenon documented in several recent studies (Flannery [1982], Hannan and Berger [1991], and Neumark and Sharpe [1992]). Understanding deposit-rate sluggishness has important direct consequences for comprehending money demand and bank profitability, as well as indirect consequences for understa...
متن کاملAggregate and Regional Disaggregate Fluctuations Aggregate and Regional Disaggregate Fluctuations
This paper models uctuations in regional disaggregates as a nonstationary, dynamically evolving distribution. Doing so enables study of the dynamics of aggregate uctuations jointly with those of the rich cross-section of regional disaggregates. For the US, the leading state| regardless of which it happens to be|contains strong predictive power for aggregate uctuations. This e ect is di cult to ...
