Abstract This paper proposes a dynamic model to capture the interaction among the environment, human capital accumulation, and economic growth. We emphasize the mechanism that pollution stock depresses human capital accumulation, which has received increasing support from empirical studies. The model predicts that the development of pollution-intensive industries can help an economy gear up a short-run prosperity, but it impairs the capability for long-run economic growth, trapping the economy at a low development level. The cost for a dirty economy to switch is expensive and even infeasible if the environmental degradation is irreversible. Policy interventions, such as tax on pollution and subsidy on human capital, can help alleviate but cannot eradicate the economic stagnation.
摘要本文提出了一个动态模型来描述环境、人力资本积累和经济增长之间的相互作用。我们强调污染存量抑制人力资本积累的机制,并得到越来越多实证研究的支持。该模型预测,污染密集型产业的发展可以帮助经济加速短期繁荣,但它损害了长期经济增长的能力,使经济陷入低发展水平。如果环境恶化是不可逆转的,从污染经济转型的成本是昂贵的,甚至是不可行的。政策干预,如污染税和人力资本补贴,可以帮助缓解但不能根除经济停滞。

Optimal forward guidance in monetary policy: Can central banks sway the public with projections? 货币政策的最优前瞻指引:央行能否用预测影响公众?

Abstract Because economic outcomes depend on private-sector expectations, central banks might be tempted to guide these by publishing projections of key macroeconomic variables. We find that optimal projections require misleading the public. Optimal non-misleading projections are time-inconsistent. Non-misleading time-consistent projections can only improve policy outcomes if the public’s forecasts are noisier, or inconsistent with implemented policy. Since the public only has incentives to be guided by policymakers’ projections when most vulnerable to being mislead, these cannot be trusted blindly. Consistent with this, we find statistically significant systematic deviations between FOMC projections and professional forecasts for US inflation and GDP growth.
由于经济结果取决于私营部门的预期,央行可能会试图通过发布关键宏观经济变量的预测来引导这些预期。我们发现,最优的预测需要误导公众。最优的非误导性预测是时间不一致的。只有在公众的预测较为嘈杂或与实施的政策不一致的情况下,无误导性的时间一致性预测才能改善政策结果。由于公众只有在最容易被误导的时候才有动力听从政策制定者的预测,因此不能盲目地相信这些预测。与此一致的是,我们发现联邦公开市场委员会对美国通胀和GDP增长的预测与专业预测之间存在统计学上显著的系统性偏差。

Abstract According to the real business cycle theory, business cycles mainly result from random exogenous shocks. In this paper, this argument is tested. I extend the Wald–Wolfowitz runs test under the assumption that a recession lasts for two periods at least and an expansion lasts for $k$ periods at least with k ≥ 2. I apply the extended runs test to the three two-valued data recession-expansion series generated by the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Center for Economic and Policy Research. The test results reject the null hypothesis that they are generated in a random way for any $k$ even at the 1% significance level.
根据真实经济周期理论,经济周期主要是由随机外生冲击引起的。本文对这一论点进行了验证。我扩展了沃尔福威茨运行检验,假设衰退至少持续两个时期,扩张至少持续k个时期,且k≥2。我对国家经济研究局和经济与政策研究中心生成的三个二值数据衰退-扩张系列应用了延长运行检验。检验结果拒绝零假设,即它们以随机方式生成任何$k$,即使在1%显著性水平下。

Abstract Through the collateral channel for entrepreneurs, a positive housing demand shock in Liu et al. [(2013) Econometrica 81, 1147–1184.] increases land prices and business investment, but consumption decreases on impact and there is thus a comovement problem. This paper improves Liu et al. [(2013) Econometrica 81, 1147–1184.] by adding general household preferences with broader intratemporal and intertemporal substitutions Bayesian estimation of our structural model based on aggregate US data suggests that the intratemporal substitution is larger than unity and the intertemporal substitution is smaller than unity. Our impulse responses show that a positive housing demand shock increases land prices, business investment, and consumption, which resolves the comovement problem. Moreover, the strength of the collateral channel linking land prices and business investment in our Bayesian DSGE model is larger than that in Liu et al. [(2013) Econometrica 81, 1147–1184.]. Housing demand shocks explain 39−43% of the variance of output and 41−47% of the variance of investment in our model, but the same shocks explain only 17−31% of the variance of output and 30−41% of the variance of investment in Liu et al. [(2013) Econometrica 81, 1147–1184.]. Variance decomposition reveals that housing demand shocks account for a larger share of the fluctuations in land prices, investment, employment, and output than other shocks. Using the marginal data density as the measure of fit for models, we find that our model can better explain the same US aggregate data.
[摘要]Liu et al.(2013)通过抵押渠道为企业家提供积极的住房需求冲击[j] . Econometrica, 81, 1147-1184。]提高了土地价格和商业投资,但消费受到影响而减少,因此存在流动性问题。本文对Liu et al. (2013) [Econometrica, 81, 1147-1184]进行了改进。通过将一般家庭偏好与更广泛的时间内和时间间替代相结合,我们基于美国总体数据的结构模型的贝叶斯估计表明,时间内替代大于统一,时间间替代小于统一。我们的脉冲响应表明,积极的住房需求冲击增加了土地价格、商业投资和消费,从而解决了迁居问题。此外,我们的贝叶斯DSGE模型中连接土地价格和商业投资的抵押品通道的强度大于Liu等人[2013)Econometrica 81, 1147-1184 .]。在我们的模型中,住房需求冲击解释了39 - 43%的产出方差和41 - 47%的投资方差,但在Liu等人的研究中,同样的冲击只解释了17 - 31%的产出方差和30 - 41%的投资方差[2013)Econometrica 81, 1147-1184]。方差分解表明,与其他冲击相比,住房需求冲击对地价、投资、就业和产出波动的影响更大。使用边际数据密度作为模型的拟合度量,我们发现我们的模型可以更好地解释相同的美国汇总数据。

Abstract Homeownership rates differ widely across European countries. We document that part of this variation is driven by differences in the fraction of adults co-residing with their parents. Comparing Germany and Italy, we show that in contrast to homeownership rates per household, homeownership rates per individual are very similar during the first part of the life cycle. To understand these patterns, we build an overlapping-generations model where individuals face uninsurable income risk and make consumption-saving and housing tenure decisions. We embed an explicit intergenerational link between children and parents to capture the three-way trade-off between owning, renting, and co-residing. Calibrating the model to Germany we explore the role of income profiles, housing policies, and the taste for independence and show that a combination of these factors goes a long way in explaining the differential life-cycle patterns of living arrangements between the two countries.
欧洲各国的住房拥有率差异很大。我们证明,这种变化的一部分是由与父母同住的成年人比例的差异驱动的。通过比较德国和意大利,我们发现,与每个家庭的住房拥有率相比,每个人的住房拥有率在生命周期的前半段非常相似。为了理解这些模式,我们建立了一个重叠代模型,其中个人面临不可保险的收入风险,并做出消费储蓄和住房使用权决策。我们在孩子和父母之间嵌入了明确的代际联系,以捕捉拥有、租赁和共同居住之间的三方权衡。将模型校准到德国,我们探讨了收入状况、住房政策和对独立的偏好的作用,并表明这些因素的组合在解释两国之间生活安排的不同生命周期模式方面有很长的路要走。

Technical change, task reallocation, and wage inequality 技术变革、任务再分配和工资不平等

Abstract This paper empirically investigates wage inequality within the group of skilled workers in the recent four decades in the USA using CPS data and finds evidence that the trend of wage growth of the top and bottom 10th percentile of skilled workers significantly diverged starting from 2000. Using a task-based framework of occupation, I find that the changing trend of wage inequality was entirely driven by one category of occupation, namely the nonroutine analytic occupation. Then, I consider in a model task reallocation between two broad task categories, namely the routine and abstract task, induced by an ongoing investment-specific technical change. In my model, the labor in the routine task is replaced by cheaper machines due to investment-specific technical change, then workers that are less productive in the abstract task enter abstract occupations. As a result, the wage inequality in the abstract task widens because of the reallocation of less productive workers from the routine task to the abstract task, that is, the “composition effect.” In addition, since economic agents tend to postpone the investment in machines after the ongoing investment-specific technical change takes place for a while, the expansion path of wage inequality is not linear but features an acceleration of wage dispersion in the middle of the technical change. The quantitative results suggest that the model is able to provide a well-matched timing and magnitude of the nonlinear expansion path in wage inequality that is observed in the data.
摘要本文利用CPS数据对近40年来美国技术工人群体内的工资不平等进行了实证研究,发现有证据表明,从2000年开始,技术工人中收入最高和收入最低的10%的工资增长趋势出现了显著分化。使用基于任务的职业框架,我发现工资不平等的变化趋势完全是由一类职业驱动的,即非常规分析职业。然后,我在一个模型中考虑两大类任务之间的任务再分配,即日常任务和抽象任务,由持续的投资特定的技术变化引起。在我的模型中,由于投资特定的技术变革,常规任务中的劳动力被更便宜的机器所取代,然后在抽象任务中生产率较低的工人进入抽象职业。结果,由于生产力较低的工人从常规任务重新分配到抽象任务,即“构成效应”,抽象任务中的工资不平等扩大了。此外,由于经济主体倾向于在持续的特定于投资的技术变革发生一段时间后推迟对机器的投资,因此工资不平等的扩张路径不是线性的,而是在技术变革的中间表现为工资分散的加速。定量结果表明,该模型能够提供数据中观察到的工资不平等非线性扩张路径的良好匹配时间和幅度。

Abstract This study uses two large datasets to explore the output dynamics following economic disasters, one including 180 economic disasters across 38 countries over the last two centuries and the other including 204 disasters in 182 countries since World War II. Our results suggest that extreme economic crises are associated with huge and remarkably persistent loss. On average, output loss surges to above 26% in the first few years after the outbreak of a disaster and remains above 20% for as long as 20 years. It is only after more than 50 years that the loss is fully recovered.
本研究使用两个大数据集探讨经济灾害后的产出动态,一个数据集包括过去两个世纪以来38个国家的180次经济灾害,另一个数据集包括二战以来182个国家的204次经济灾害。我们的研究结果表明,极端的经济危机与巨大且非常持久的损失有关。平均而言,在灾难爆发后的头几年,产出损失飙升至26%以上,并在长达20年的时间里保持在20%以上。直到50多年后,损失才完全恢复。

This paper develops an efficient Stein-like shrinkage estimator for estimating slope parameters under structural breaks in seemingly unrelated regression models, which is then used for forecasting. The proposed method is a weighted average of two estimators: a restricted estimator that estimates the parameters under the restriction of no break in the coefficients, and an unrestricted estimator that considers break points and estimates the parameters using the observations within each regime. It is established that the asymptotic risk of the Stein-like shrinkage estimator is smaller than that of the unrestricted estimator, which is the method typically used to estimate the slope coefficients under structural breaks. Furthermore, this paper proposes an averaging minimal mean squared error estimator in which the averaging weight is derived by minimizing its asymptotic risk. Insights from the theoretical analysis are demonstrated in Monte Carlo simulations and through an empirical example of forecasting output growth of G7 countries.
本文提出了一种有效的Stein样收缩估计器,用于估计看似不相关的回归模型中结构断裂下的边坡参数,然后用于预测。所提出的方法是两个估计量的加权平均:一个是在系数不间断的限制下估计参数的受限估计量,另一个是考虑断点并使用每个状态下的观测值估计参数的非限制估计量。建立了类Stein收缩估计量的渐近风险小于无限制估计量的渐进风险,无限制估计是在结构破坏下估计边坡系数的常用方法。此外,本文提出了一种平均最小均方误差估计器,其中通过最小化其渐近风险来导出平均权重。蒙特卡洛模拟和G7国家产出增长预测的实证例子展示了理论分析的见解。

Factor-augmented QVAR models: an observation-driven approach 因子增强QVAR模型:一种观察驱动的方法

I develop and study a factor-augmented quasi-vector autoregressive (FAQVAR) model for economic policy analysis in tumultuous times. An observation-driven framework that exploits the information from the score of the model allows a maximum likelihood estimation. This multivariate FAQVAR model, which assumes a Student t error distribution, is robust to atypical observations such as the global financial crisis and the recent pandemic. The model outperforms the FAVAR moving average model because of the assumed heavy tails that capture the COVID-19 atypical data and other turbulent episodes. An empirical application to the U.S. economy assessing its monetary policy reveals that estimates and impulse responses are stable when considering the sample before and during COVID-19.
我开发和研究了一个因子增强的准向量自回归(FAQVAR)模型,用于经济政策分析在动荡时期。利用模型得分信息的观察驱动框架允许最大似然估计。这种假设Student t误差分布的多变量FAQVAR模型对全球金融危机和最近的大流行等非典型观测结果具有鲁棒性。该模型优于FAVAR移动平均模型,因为假设的重尾捕获了COVID-19非典型数据和其他湍流事件。对美国经济评估其货币政策的实证应用表明,在COVID-19之前和期间考虑样本时,估计和脉冲响应是稳定的。

A general wisdom, since at least the work of Schmitt-Grohé and Uribe [(1997) Journal of Political Economy 105, 976–1000.], holds that a government that relies on adjusting factor income tax rates to achieve budget objective may induce aggregate instability driven by self-fulfilling expectations. This paper shows that this conventional wisdom may be overturned if the rate of adjustment of the capital income tax rate is bigger than that of the labor income tax rate. How much bigger depends on country specifics and particularly on the levels of the capital and labor income tax rates. Thus, adjustments in capital and labor income tax rates, if properly designed and implemented, can help achieve the budget objective while at the same time preempting extrinsic volatility.
至少Schmitt Grohé和Uribe的工作[(1997)Journal of Political Economy 105976-1000.]认为,一个依靠调整要素所得税税率来实现预算目标的政府可能会在自我实现的期望的驱动下引发总体不稳定。本文表明,如果资本所得税税率的调整率大于劳动所得税税率,这种传统观点可能会被推翻。扩大多少取决于国家的具体情况,尤其是资本和劳动所得税税率的水平。因此,资本和劳动所得税税率的调整,如果设计和实施得当,可以帮助实现预算目标,同时避免外部波动。
