Real-business-cycle models rely on total factor productivity (TFP) shocks to explain the observed co-movement between consumption, investment and hours. However an emerging body of evidence identifies “investment shocks”as important drivers of business cycles. This paper shows that a neoclassical model consistent with observed heterogeneity in labor supply and consumption across employed and no...

The earliest generated cells of the cat's telencephalon that may play a role in the formation of the primary visual cortex are the subject of this study. Using [3H]thymidine autoradiography, we have found that these cells are generated between embryonic day 24 (E24) and E30 (gestation is 65 days) and that they are present in very low numbers in the white matter of the adult brain. These cells a...

Business cycle recoveries have slowed in recent decades. This slowdown comes entirely from female employment, as women’s employment rates converged toward men’s during the past half-century. But does growth of translate into a for overall rates? We estimate extent to which women “crowd out” men labor market across US states, and find that it is small. Through lens general equilibrium model with...

Using monthly data on temporary trade barriers (TTBs), we estimate the dynamic employment effects of protectionism through vertical production linkages. First, exploiting high-frequency and TTB procedural details, identify policy shocks exogenous to economic fundamentals. We then use input-output tables construct measures affecting downstream producers. Finally, panel local projections using id...

: Biosurfactants plays a key role in tertiary recovery (EOR), and production, excessive minerals discharge from water during petroleum refinery process, environmental utilization eco-friendly. Biosurfactant producing bacteria found to be sufficient hydrocarbon-polluted soil samples; it is expected more amounts of agrichemicals contemporary the clay. These establish itself region specific. So, t...

this paper reviews the relationship between inflation rate and minimum wage in iran’s economy over the 1969-2005. according to the economic literature, there is a narrow relationship between inflation rate and minimum wage. some economists believe in increased inflation due to minimum wage. the other group of economists considers the increased inflation as a cause for increasing minimum wage. t...

Increases in the minimum wage can substantially reduce earnings inequality. To demonstrate this, we combine administrative and survey data with an equilibrium model of Brazilian labor market. We find that a 128 percent increase real Brazil between 1996 2018 had far-reaching spillover effects on wages higher up distribution. The increased accounts for 45 large fall inequality over this period. A...

Motivated by the effects of COVID-19 pandemic, we present a theory Keynesian supply shocks: shocks that reduce potential output in sector economy, but that, reducing demand other sectors, ultimately push aggregate activity below potential. A shock is more likely when elasticity substitution between sectors relatively low, intertemporal high, and markets are incomplete. Fiscal policy can display...
