Idiosyncratic Risk and Aggregate Employment Dynamics
This paper studies how producers’ idiosyncratic risks impact aggregate employment dynamics when there is a trade-off between workers’ productivity and costs of job creation and destruction. In our analysis, increasing idiosyncratic risk induces producers to move workers out of structured jobs that are costly to create and destroy and into less-productive but more-flexible unstructured positions...
متن کاملTime-Varying Idiosyncratic Risk and Aggregate Consumption Dynamics
This paper presents an incomplete markets business cycle model in which the nature of idiosyncratic risk varies over time in accordance with recent empirical findings. In this model household heterogeneity and time-varying idiosyncratic risk have substantial effects on aggregate consumption dynamics. For example, the standard deviation of consumption growth is 47 percent larger than in a comple...
متن کاملB The Separability of Aggregate and Idiosyncratic Risk
Implementation The algorithm works as follows. We start with a matrix ĝ(s, s). Given this matrix, we can compute the aggregate state price in the stationary version of the economy, denoted P̂ (s)/P̂ (s). In computing the equilibrium, we find it more convenient to keep track of agents by their consumption share c rather than their (normalized) multiplier ζ. Note that c = ζ. To come up with an init...
متن کاملIdiosyncratic risk, insurance, and aggregate consumption dynamics: a likelihood perspective
This paper shows how the empirical implications of incomplete markets models can be assessed using the same full-information methods that are commonly used for representative agent models. It then asks what features of the microeconomic insurance arrangement are important for understanding the dynamics of aggregate consumption as it relates to aggregate labor income and employment conditions. A...
متن کاملAGGREGATE IDIOSYNCRATIC VOLATILITY Geert
We examine aggregate idiosyncratic volatility in 23 developed equity markets, measured using various methodologies, and we find no evidence of upward trends. Instead, idiosyncratic volatility appears to be well described by a stationary autoregressive process that occasionally switches into a higher-variance regime that has relatively short duration. We also document that idiosyncratic volatili...
