Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We augment a standard monetary dynamic general equilibrium
model to include a Bernanke-Gertler-Gilchrist financial accelerator
mechanism. We fit the model to US data, allowing the volatility of
cross-sectional idiosyncratic uncertainty to fluctuate over time. We
refer to this measure of volatility as risk. We find that fluctuations in
risk are the most important shock driving the business cycle.
