General comments • Model selection • Simple way of testing accuracy • Necessity to comply
Gestation/employment lags and capital/labor adjustment costs • Models featured by y additional assumptions p on the production function. • LABOR: employment lags lags, labor adjustment costs => partially successful • CAPITAL: gestation lags, capital adjustment costs => not successful (i.e. hardly any improvement w.r.t baseline model). model)
Burnside & Eichenbaum • Factor hoarding model: adjusted for capital utilization and work effort • Production function: – – – – – –
Kt……capital stock Ut……capital utilization rate Nt……number of individulas working f……..fixed length of hours worked (indivisible labor) Wt…..work effort Xt……level of technology
Fève & Matheron (2005) • Based on Kydland&Prescott (1982); 2 changes: pp y complementary p y across time 1. Labor supply (leisure habit) 2. Labor wedges (preference) shock instead of gvt – (technology shocks much more important for output dynamics than transitory shocks (Prescott: 70%))
• The same test as CN • Can reproduce the stylized facts
The stylized facts; a reminder • Two Stylized Facts 1) GNP growth is positively autocorrelated in the short run and weakly negatively autocorrelated over longer horizons 2) GNP has an important trend-reverting component that has a hump-shaped moving average representation
Main findings • Standard RBC models rely heavily on g factors to replicate p the two exogenous stylized facts • The RBC models have weak internal propagation mechanisms and thus do not generate interesting dynamics via their internal structure
Impact of the paper • C Criticism iti i on standard t d d RBC models, d l nott only by Cogley and Nason (e.g. Rotemberg and Woodford (1996)) • Development p of more complex p models,, at the cost of losing simplicity (Fève and at e o ((2005). 005) Matheron • Methodology proposed by Cogley and Nason more often applied in literature – Benhabib and Wen (2004)
