While firms use both innovation and advertising to boost profits, markups, and market shares, their broader social implications vary substantially. We study their interaction and analyze their implications for competition, industry dynamics, growth, and welfare. We develop an oligopolistic general-equilibrium growth model with firm heterogeneity. Market structure is endogenous, and firms’ production, innovation, and advertising decisions interact strategically. We find advertising reduces static misallocation, but also depresses growth through a substitution effect with R&D. Although advertising is found to be socially useful, taxing it could simultaneously increase dynamic efficiency, contain excessive advertising spending, and raise revenue, while still reducing misallocation.
虽然企业利用创新和广告来提高利润、加价和市场份额,但它们对社会的广泛影响却大相径庭。我们研究了它们之间的相互作用,并分析了它们对竞争、行业动态、增长和福利的影响。我们建立了一个具有企业异质性的寡头垄断一般均衡增长模型。市场结构是内生的,企业的生产、创新和广告决策在战略上相互影响。我们发现,广告减少了静态错配,但也通过 R&D 的替代效应抑制了增长。虽然我们发现广告对社会有用,但对其征税可以同时提高动态效率、遏制过度广告支出并增加收入,同时还能减少配置不当。

Female entrepreneurship in the U.S. 1982–2012: Implications for welfare and aggregate output 1982-2012 年美国女性创业情况:对福利和总产出的影响

The number of women-owned businesses in the U.S. has soared over the last several decades. In 1982 less than 13 percent of businesses were majority-owned by women. By 2012 this number reached 40 percent. This and other evidence suggests that women have faced significant barriers to running businesses. Interpreted through the lens of a model of entrepreneurship, observed trends imply substantial declines in several barriers facing female entrepreneurs. Together, these changes account for almost 4 percent of observed growth in aggregate output and a 3 percent increase in workers’ consumption-equivalent welfare since 1982. By 2012, lower barriers increased the welfare of female entrepreneurs by a dramatic 116 percent, while lowering the welfare of male entrepreneurs by 5 percent. These impacts are in addition to any gains to workers from declining labor-market barriers.
在过去几十年中,美国女性拥有的企业数量激增。1982 年,妇女占多数的企业不到 13%。到 2012 年,这一数字达到了 40%。这和其他证据表明,女性在经营企业时面临着巨大的障碍。从创业模式的角度来看,观察到的趋势意味着女性创业者面临的几种障碍大幅减少。自 1982 年以来,这些变化合计占总产出增长的近 4%,并使工人的消费等值福利增加了 3%。到 2012 年,壁垒的降低使女企业家的福利大幅提高了 116%,而男企业家的福利则降低了 5%。这些影响还不包括劳动力市场壁垒下降给工人带来的收益。

We study the optimal inflation target in an open economy with a zero lower bound (ZLB) on nominal interest rates calibrated to the Euro area. When uncovered interest rate parity (UIP) holds, the optimal inflation target is smaller than in a closed economy. The key to this result is that real interest rates at the ZLB increase less as trade openness increases. This less pronounced increase in real interest rates in an open economy mitigates the contraction in aggregate demand, thus reducing the cost of ZLB. Additionally, the optimal inflation target in a monetary union is lower than in a flexible exchange rate regime: forming a monetary union results in a decrease in the optimal inflation rate by 0.24%, thereby increasing per-period welfare by 0.07%. When departures from UIP are significant, the optimal inflation target may be higher than in a closed economy, and the desirability of a monetary union increases further.
我们以欧元区为研究对象,研究了名义利率零下限(ZLB)开放经济中的最优通胀目标。当无覆盖利率平价(UIP)成立时,最优通胀目标小于封闭经济中的最优通胀目标。这一结果的关键在于,随着贸易开放度的增加,ZLB 的实际利率增幅较小。在开放经济中,实际利率的增幅较小,这就缓解了总需求的收缩,从而降低了 ZLB 的成本。此外,货币联盟的最优通胀目标低于灵活汇率制度:形成货币联盟会使最优通胀率下降 0.24%,从而使每期福利增加 0.07%。当明显偏离 UIP 时,最优通胀目标可能高于封闭经济中的最优通胀目标,货币联盟的可取性进一步增加。

I study how, in the presence of default risk, the Dutch disease amplifies an inefficiency in the sectoral allocation of capital. In a sovereign default model with commodities and production of traded and non-traded goods, default incentives increase when more capital is allocated to non-traded production. Households do not internalize this, giving rise to an inefficiently large non-traded sector. Commodity windfalls amplify this inefficiency through the classic Dutch disease mechanism. I characterize state-contingent subsidies that implement the efficient allocation and compare them to a simpler subsidy rule that ameliorates the externality. Evidence from spreads, natural-resource rents, and sectoral investment data support the main findings of the model.
我研究了在存在违约风险的情况下,荷兰病如何放大资本部门分配的低效率。在一个包含商品以及贸易和非贸易商品生产的主权违约模型中,当更多资本被分配到非贸易生产中时,违约诱因就会增加。家庭不会将其内化,从而导致非贸易部门规模过大,效率低下。商品暴利通过典型的荷兰病机制放大了这种低效率。我描述了实施有效分配的国家有条件补贴的特征,并将其与改善外部性的更简单补贴规则进行比较。来自利差、自然资源租金和部门投资数据的证据支持模型的主要结论。

A theory of net capital flows over the global financial cycle 全球金融周期中的净资本流动理论

We develop a theory to account for the relationship between global asset price changes and net capital flows. We show empirically that countries that have a net debt of safe assets experience a rise in net outflows of safe assets (i.e. pay off safe asset debt) when global asset prices fall. This is accomplished through a rise in total net outflows (an increase in net savings) and a drop in net outflows of risky assets (the net sale of foreign risky assets). We develop a multi-country portfolio choice model that can account for these facts. The theory relies on cross-country heterogeneity in the share of an investor’s portfolio invested in risky assets. A global drop in risky asset prices changes relative wealth across countries due to this heterogeneity, which leads to changes in net flows of safe and risky assets. The model is applied to 20 advanced countries and calibrated to reflect observed cross country heterogeneity of net foreign asset positions of safe and risky assets. The implications of the calibrated model for net capital flows are quantitatively consistent with the data.
我们提出了一种理论来解释全球资产价格变化与净资本流动之间的关系。我们的经验表明,当全球资产价格下跌时,拥有安全资产净债务的国家的安全资产净流出量会增加(即偿还安全资产债务)。这是通过总净流出量的增加(净储蓄的增加)和风险资产净流出量的减少(国外风险资产的净出售)来实现的。我们建立了一个多国投资组合选择模型,可以解释这些事实。该理论依赖于投资者投资于风险资产的投资组合份额的跨国异质性。由于这种异质性,风险资产价格的全球性下跌会改变各国的相对财富,从而导致安全资产和风险资产净流量的变化。该模型适用于 20 个先进国家,并经过校准,以反映观察到的安全和风险资产的净外国资产头寸的跨国异质性。校准模型对资本净流量的影响在数量上与数据一致。

Subjective housing price expectations, falling natural rates, and the optimal inflation target 主观房价预期、自然利率下降和最优通胀目标

U.S. households’ housing price expectations deviate systematically from full-information rational expectations: (i) expectations are updated on average too sluggishly, (ii) expectations initially underreact but subsequently overreact to housing price changes, and (iii) households are overly optimistic (pessimistic) about housing price growth when the price-to-rent ratio is high (low). We show that weak forms of housing price growth extrapolation allow to simultaneously replicate the behavior of housing prices and these deviations from rational expectations as an equilibrium outcome. Embedding housing price growth extrapolation into a sticky price model with a lower-bound constraint on nominal interest rates, we show that lower natural rates of interest increase the volatility of housing prices and thereby the volatility of the natural rate of interest. This exacerbates the relevance of the lower bound constraint and causes Ramsey optimal inflation to increase strongly with a decline in the natural rate of interest.
美国家庭的住房价格预期系统性地偏离了完全信息理性预期:(1)平均而言,预期更新过于缓慢;(2)预期最初对住房价格变化反应不足,但随后反应过度;(3)当房价租金比高(低)时,家庭对住房价格增长过于乐观(悲观)。我们表明,弱形式的住房价格增长外推法可以同时复制住房价格行为和这些偏离理性预期的均衡结果。我们将住房价格增长外推嵌入到一个具有名义利率下限约束的粘性价格模型中,结果表明,较低的自然利率会增加住房价格的波动性,从而增加自然利率的波动性。这加剧了下限约束的相关性,并导致拉姆齐最优通胀率随着自然利率的下降而大幅上升。

Do firm expectations respond to monetary policy announcements? 企业预期是否会对货币政策公告做出反应?

This paper investigates whether UK firms’ price growth expectations respond to the Bank of England (BoE) monetary policy announcements and explores the underlying mechanism. Using microdata from the UK Decision Maker Panel survey, we isolate the exogenous component of the monetary policy decisions by comparing firms’ responses filed before and after BoE announcements. Guided by a model of dispersed information, our analysis suggests that firms respond to monetary policy announcements but are, overall, not as informed and sophisticated as financial market participants. Firms’ price expectations respond to actual interest rate changes, as well as to bank rate changes purged from their systematic component, but not to high-frequency surprises. The left tail of their expected price change distribution is particularly sensitive to monetary policy announcements. Furthermore, we unveil significant non-linear effects, with changes in interest rates of 50 basis points being mostly responsible for revisions in expectations. This implies that the recent tightening cycle was effective in shifting firms’ expectations primarily at its peak when a sequence of consecutive large rate hikes was implemented. We also show that UK news coverage of the BoE’s activities increases following policy rate changes, highlighting the media’s crucial role in shaping public expectations.
本文研究了英国公司的价格增长预期是否会对英格兰银行(BOE)的货币政策公告做出反应,并探讨了其背后的机制。我们利用英国决策者面板调查的微观数据,通过比较英国央行公告前后企业的反应,分离出货币政策决策的外生因素。在信息分散模型的指导下,我们的分析表明,企业会对货币政策公告做出反应,但总体而言,企业不如金融市场参与者知情和成熟。企业的价格预期会对实际利率变化以及剔除了系统性因素的银行利率变化做出反应,但不会对高频率的意外事件做出反应。其预期价格变化分布的左尾部对货币政策公告尤为敏感。此外,我们还发现了显著的非线性效应,50 个基点的利率变化是造成预期修正的主要原因。这意味着近期的紧缩周期主要是在连续大幅加息的高峰期有效地改变了企业的预期。我们还表明,英国对英国央行活动的新闻报道在政策利率变化后会增加,这凸显了媒体在塑造公众预期方面的关键作用。

We introduce the UK Monetary Policy Event-Study Database (UKMPD), a new and rich dataset of high-frequency monetary policy surprises for the United Kingdom. Intraday surprises are computed around the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee’s announcements, as well as around the press conference that follows the publication of the quarterly Monetary Policy Report. The dataset also includes factors that disentangle the different dimensions of UK monetary policy. We use the data to estimate the causal effects of UK monetary policy, and provide novel insights on how financial markets have responded to the changes in the communication strategy of the Bank of England.

Many college graduates are underemployed, i.e., work in occupations that do not require a college degree. We document that underemployed workers are less likely to transition to a college occupation the longer they are underemployed and that longer underemployment histories are associated with lower wages in college occupations. To explain these findings, we develop a directed search model with unobserved heterogeneity, occupation-specific human capital, and on the job search. Workers are uncertain about their suitability for college jobs and learn through search. Underemployment is generated by search and information frictions, as workers with a low expected job-finding probability in college occupations self-select into underemployment. Once underemployed, workers’ college occupation-specific human capital decays. A quantitative decomposition shows that unobserved heterogeneity explains most of the duration dependence in underemployment.
许多大学毕业生就业不足,即从事不需要大学学位的职业。我们发现,就业不足的工人就业不足的时间越长,就越不可能过渡到大学职业,而且就业不足的时间越长,大学职业的工资就越低。为了解释这些发现,我们建立了一个具有未观察到的异质性、特定职业人力资本和求职的定向搜索模型。劳动者不确定自己是否适合大学工作,并通过求职学习。就业不足是由搜索和信息摩擦造成的,因为在大学生职业中预期求职概率较低的工人会自我选择就业不足。一旦就业不足,工人的大学职业特定人力资本就会衰减。定量分解显示,未观察到的异质性解释了就业不足的大部分持续时间依赖性。
