I.1. MotivationsThe modern approach to business cycles fluctuations: Shocks
I The economy is hit by “shocks”,
I Realistic shocks are either “supply” or “demand”,I Supply:
× Technology,× Oil price,× Taxes.
I Demand:
× Monetary shocks,× Fiscal,× Investors mood.
I Empirical work (Smets and Wouters) brings a lot of shocks (not always realistic)(preference shocks, markup shocks, shocks to arbitrage equations, etc...).

I.1. MotivationsIntriguing Facts for Usual Shocks and Models
I I discuss the following points:I Demand shocks?
× Should be inflationary if they move output.× Should not move output if not inflationary.× If flex prices, C and I move in opposite direction.
I Supply shocks?
× Productivity should be procyclical× Investment Specific Technology shocks: investment price should be countercyclical

I.1. MotivationsThe Trouble with NK Models
I If output moves because the output gap moves (demand shocks), then we shouldexpect inflation response.
I The core NK model is quantitatively off target.I Take the Jordi Galı’s textbook New Phillips curve
πt = βEtπt+1 + κyt + ut
I Assume that the output gap is AR(1) with persistence ρ.
πt =κ
1− βρyt + ut
I Take Jordi’s textbook calibration (including a mean duration of prices of 3quarters).
I Assume that the output gap is measured by the HP cycle of output.I Feed it into this last equation and deduct the implied inflation, killing cost-push
shocks.17 / 144

I.1. MotivationsThe Trouble with RBC Models
I This pattern is hard to explain in the RBC tradition :
I No procyclical TFP shocks.
I No pro cyclical Investment Specific Technology shocks: investment relative pricesare not countercyclical.
I Demand shocks typically cause negative consumption - investment co-movements.

I.1. MotivationsThe Trouble with RBC and NK Models
I Possible to ”fix” these commonly used RBC or NK models to fit facts: “MarginalEfficiency of Investment” shocks, preference shocks, fixed price(“backward-looking” Phillips curve), adjustment costs to the investment rate,in-sample correlation of shocks, etc...
I Those explanations in our opinion are not very compelling, intuitive or robust.
I I will review some. models that propose different mechanisms to interpret thedata.
I One is related to the role of trade between agents.

I.1. MotivationsA Story (continued)
I The carpenter needs to eat, the farmer needs a shelter
I Static Gains from Exchange (from Trade) between the two.
I Assume that the perceived value of houses decreases (downward revision ofexpectations, bad news, pessimism, ...)
I The relative price of houses in terms of tomatoes p will go downI The carpenter will work less for two reasons
1. he does not want as many houses as before2. he cannot trade as many houses as before
I LI and I I The farmer does not want to buy as many houses as before, and does not need to
produce as many tomatoes for the trade: LC and C

I.1. MotivationsA Story (continued)
I C, I, L in both sectors, Y = C + pI I If reallocation of workers take some time, the recession is likely to be protracted.
I Changes in perceptions about the future are affecting the width of Gains fromTrade today
I Fluctuations are here related with variations in the amount of Gains from Tradebetween agents.
I This is about natural output fluctuations → does not move inflation.

I.2. A New Keynesian Model with Gains From TradeThe basic model
I This basic model collapses to a Phillips curve and a dynamic IS equation + Taylorrule
yt = − (ıt − Et πt+1 − ρ nt ) + Et yt+1
πt = βEt πt+1 + λ (yt − y nt )
+ Taylor rule
I Output gap: yt = yt − y nt
I y nt = At

yt = − (ıt − Et πt+1 − ρ n
t ) + Et yt+1
πt = βEt πt+1 + λ (yt − y nt )
+ Taylor rule
I What happens in this environment if agents expect At+1 to be high?
I It is a demand shock to current consumption.
I Absent of an active Taylor Rule, inflation.
I The increased expectation of At+1 does not directly enter into the Phillips curve.
I Therefore, if it creates an output boom, it will create inflation (no change in thenatural output)

I.2. A New Keynesian Model with Gains From TradeThe basic model
I Textbook prescription: to keep stable inflation, monetary authorities need tostrongly counteract demand shock but need to accommodate supply shocks.
I If the economy goes into recession due to a fall in demand – as opposed to areduction in supply capacity – this should put substantial downward pressure onprices.
I Let’s contrast those results with the one of a gains-from-trade model.

I Agents of type 1 to want to by capital as it return is expected to be high.
I They will trade more with agents of type 2.
I Type 2 agents will also want more capital, but also more consumption because ofan income effect.
I This would look like a demand shock.
I But it does not put any pressures on prices, as the natural or non-inflation rate ofoutput has also changed.
I Same thing with downward revisions: recession but no deflation.

II.1. The New viewThe news view of business cycles
I Boom/bust are mainly the result of agents having incentives to continuouslyanticipate the economy’s future demands.
I Properly anticipating a future need , gains by trying to preempt the market andinvest early as to make goods readily available when the predicted needseventually appear.
I If many agents adopt similar behavior, because they receive related news aboutfuture developments, a boom period.
I However, by the very fact that such behavior involves speculation it will besubject to error.
I In the cases of error, the economy will have over-invested as the anticipateddemand will not materialize.
I This will cause a recession and a process of liquidation.I Both the boom and the bust are direct consequences of people’s incentive to
speculate on information related to future developments of the economy.

II.1. The New viewAn example: the satellite industry
I 1990s: anticipation of high demand for bandwidth (related to the internet boom)
I The launching of telecommunication satellites exploded.
I In 1998, the satellite industry launched 150 satellites, 300 percent growthcompared to 1993.
I The boom was not caused by a technological improvement nor an increase ofcurrent demand for bandwith.
I The growth rate for demand for satellite bandwidth has been 31% between 1995and 2003, while the supply of satellite bandwidth grew by 54% during this sametimeframe
I At the beginning of the new millenium, demand failed to materialize transponder glut.
I The number of satellites launched went down to 75 in 2001 and 69 in 2003,against 150 in 1998.

II.1. The New viewAn example: the satellite industry (continued)
I Satellite News, Nov 4, 2002 : “Companies that purchased satellite transpondercapacity during the industry’s halcyon days are now struggling to resell thecapability in the face of falling market prices.One example is Globecomm Systems [GCOM], a Hauppauge, N.Y.-based providerof end-to-end satellite-based communications services. To rid itself of carrying$400,000 in unused capacity each month, Globecomm reached a broad-basedagreement with one of its vendors to cut the company’s future obligations forsatellite bandwidth capacity.”

II.2. Informal and VAR EvidencePredictions for K
θ
I If employment booms arise because capital accumulation anticipates growth inTFP, then employment and K
θ should be positively correlated in booms.
I Major recessions in the news view of business cycles arise when Kθ is high and
expectations no longer support such a high capital stock and this leads to arecession
I The second force should contribute to a negative correlation between employmentand K
θ
I Since on average agents should be right more often then wrong, it suggests thatemployment and K
θ should be positively correlated according to the news view.

I What do we get from this figure?
I Two stock market shocks at the beginning of the 1990s, that where possibly theconsequence of bad news about future TFP, explain most of TFP changes in the1990s and about half of the stock market variations.
I Gives some rationale to Hayashi and Prescott (2002) intuition:

II.5 Applications: Japan Lost Decade
“ In examining the virtual stagnation that Japan began experiencing in the early 1990s,we find that the problem is not a breakdown of the financial system [...]. The problemis low productivity growth. [...] We said very little about the “bubble” period of thelate 1980s and early 1990s, a boom period when property prices soared, investmentas a fraction of GDP was unusually high, and output grew faster than in any otheryears in the 1980s and 1990s. We think the unusual pickup in economic activities,particularly investment, was due to an anticipation of higher productivity growth thatnever materialized. To account for the bubble period along these lines, we need tohave a model where productivity is stochastic and where agents receive an indicatorof future productivity.” (italics added by myself)

I At business cycle frequencies, Y , C , I , H are:- positively correlated within countries,- pairwise positively correlated among countries.

II.5 Applications: A theory of international comovements
I We show theoretically that shocks to expectations (news) are indeed creatinginternational comovements. (even if the realization is local, information is global)
I We identify in the data a particular news (TFP news), and show that it isinternationally transmitted (US/Canada, Germany/Austria).
I We propose a model that is able to replicate the qualitative features of the data.

× “Any revival which is merely due to artificial stimulus leaves part of the work ofdepressions undone”,

III.1. MotivationsThe Aggregate Demand View (John Maynard Keynes)
I Recessions are periods of insufficient demand
I Activist fiscal policy is neededI J.M. Keynes, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, 1936:
× “If the Treasury were to fill old bottles with bank-notes× bury them at suitable depths in disused coal-mines which are then filled up to the
surface with town rubbish,× and leave it to private enterprise on well-tried principles of laissez-faire to dig the
notes up again [...],× there need be no more unemployment× and, with the help of repercussions, the real income of the community, and its
capital wealth, would probably become a good deal greater than it actually is”

III.2. Another Perspective
I The two views are not mutually exclusive
I Liquidations can produce periods where the economy functions particularlyinefficiently.
I Many socially desirable trades between individuals may remain unexploited.
I In this sense, liquidations can cause recessions characterized by deficientaggregate demand.
I Some stimulative policies may remain desirable even if they postpone a recovery.

× Consumers and firms will spend less because they already have a lot,× Firms will hire less as demand is low× Consumers will consume less by fear of being unemployed,× Spendings will therefore be low× etc...
I There will be socially excessive precautionary savings
I Government spending can boost mutually beneficial trades ...
I ... but it will postpone the recovery by slowing down the liquidation process.
