Cross-country evidence on the link between volatility and growth

[PDF] from martinsewell.com
G Ramey… - 1994 - nber.org
This paper presents empirical evidence against the standard dichotomy in macroeconomics
that separates growth from the volatility of economic fluctuations. In a sample of 92 countries
as well as a sample of OECD countries, we find that countries with higher volatility have ...

Job destruction and propagation of shocks

WJ Haan, G Ramey… - 1997 - nber.org
We develop and quantitatively implement a dynamic general equilibrium model with labor"
market matching and endogenous job destruction. The model produces a close match with
data on" job creation and destruction. Cyclical fluctuations in the job destruction rate serve ...

Coordination economies, advertising, and search behavior in retail markets

K Bagwell… - The American Economic Review, 1994 - JSTOR
We introduce a model of the retail firm in which consumers and active firms benefit
collectively from coordination of sales at fewer firms. Using this model, we show that
ostensibly uninformative advertising plays a key role in bringing about coordination ...

Advertising and limit pricing

[PDF] from northwestern.edu
K Bagwell… - The Rand Journal of Economics, 1988 - JSTOR
We enrich Milgrom and Roberts'(1982) limit-pricing model to allow an incumbent to signal
his costs with both price and advertisements. Our fundamental result is that a cost-reducing
distortion occurs, in that the incumbent behaves as if there were complete information but ...
