Firm Volatility and Credit: A Macroeconomic Analysis
This paper examines a tractable real business cycle model with idiosyncratic productivity shocks and binding credit constraints on entrepreneurs. The model shows how firm volatility increases in combination with credit market development. It further generates the observed comovement of credit and firm volatility with output at business cycle frequencies in response to aggregate productivity sho...
متن کاملMacroeconomic Uncertainty and Firm Leverage
This paper investigates the link between the optimal level of nonfinancial firms’ leverage and macroeconomic uncertainty. We develop a structural model of a firm’s value maximization problem that predicts that as macroeconomic uncertainty increases the firm will decrease its optimal level of borrowing. We test this proposition using a panel of non–financial US firms drawn from the COMPUSTAT qua...
متن کاملEarnings Dynamics and Firm Level Shocks
There has been an increased interest in understanding pay policies of firms, and in particular the extent to which firm level productivity shocks are transmitted to worker’s wages. Such departures from perfect competition and the law of one price have been motivated by the developments in search theory starting by the seminal models of Burdett and Mortensen (1998) and Mortensen and Pissarides (...
متن کاملFirm Dynamics, Persistent Effects of Entry Conditions, and Business Cycles
This paper examines how the state of the economy when businesses begin operations affects their size and performance over the lifecycle. Using micro-level data that covers the entire universe of businesses operating in the U.S. since the late 1970s, I provide new evidence that businesses born in downturns start on a smaller scale and remain smaller over their entire lifecycle. In fact, I find n...
متن کاملFirm creation and post-entry dynamics of de novo entrants
We show that within the same age cohort, growth rates of young firms are strongly increasing in firm size. This robust empirical pattern is confined to the initial years after entry; growth rates become independent of size as a cohort matures, as predicted by Gibrat’s law of proportionate growth. Both the initial pattern and the subsequent convergence are consistent with the framework of the pa...
