We investigate the welfare effects of eliminating business cycles in a model with substantial
consumer heterogeneity. The heterogeneity arises from uninsurable and idiosyncratic
uncertainty in preferences and employment status. We calibrate the model to match the ...

This paper analyzes the interaction of innovation and imitation in the growth process.
Technology is assumed to be cumulative: only leaders can conduct next-round innovation.
Outsiders can become leaders by imitation. Our results show that subsidizing imitation ...

We analyse a Bewley–Huggett–Aiyagari incomplete-markets model with labour-market
frictions. Consumers are subject to idiosyncratic employment shocks against which they
cannot insure directly. The labour market has a Diamond–Mortensen–Pissarides structure ...
T Mukoyama… - Journal of Monetary Economics, 2006 - Elsevier
Unskilled workers are subject to a much larger risk of unemployment during recessions than
are skilled workers. Moreover, unskilled workers earn less income, which limits their ability
to self-insure. We examine how this heterogeneity in unemployment risk and income ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the implications of plant-level dynamics over the business
cycle. We first document basic patterns of entry and exit of US manufacturing plants, in terms
of employment and productivity, between 1972 and 1997. We show how entry and exit ...
Summary. This paper considers the optimal contract when the current (hidden) action of an
agent has a persistent effect on the future outcome. The optimal contract in a two-effort
choice, two-period setting is characterized analytically and numerically. In particular, we ...

We study the impact of tax and transfer programs on steady-state allocations in a model with
search frictions, an operative labor supply margin, and incomplete markets. In a benchmark
model that has indivisible labor and incomplete markets but no trading frictions we show ...
P Krusell,
T Mukoyama, R Rogerson… - Quantitative …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Commonly used frictional models of the labor market imply that changes in frictions have
large effects on steady state employment and unemployment. We use a model that features
both frictions and an operative labor supply margin to examine the robustness of this ...

This paper formulates Rosenberg's [Rosenberg, N., 1982. Inside the Black Box: Technology
and Economics. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge]“learning by using” as a stochastic
process. The producer of machines learns from the experience of users. Due to this ...
T Mukoyama - Journal of Economic Growth, 2004 - Springer
This article presents a model of innovation and diffusion of machines which embody a new
technology. Users of the machines are heterogenous in their skill level. Skilled machine-
users adopt new machines first, while unskilled users wait until machines become more ...

We develop a simple model featuring search frictions and a nondegenerate labor supply
decision along the extensive margin. The model is a standard version of the neoclassical
growth model with indivisible labor and idiosyncratic productivity shocks and frictions ...
Abstract This paper analyzes the effects of entry regulations and firing costs on cross-country
differences in income and productivity. We construct a general equilibrium industry-
dynamics model and quantitatively evaluate it using the cross-country data on entry costs ...

There has been a substantial increase in the average duration of unemployment relative to
the unemployment rate in the US over the last 30 years. We evaluate the performance of a
standard job-search model in explaining this phenomenon. In particular, we examine ...
T Mukoyama… - FRB New York Staff Report, 2004 - data.newyorkfed.org
Abstract This paper examines the causes of the observed increase in the average duration
of unemployment over the past thirty years. First we analyze whether changes in the
demographic composition of the US labor force, particularly the age and gender ...

Abstract What determines the speed of the technology diffusion? What are the
consequences of diffusion? This paper presents a model to address these questions. Skilled
machine-users adopt a new technology first, while unskilled users wait until machines ...
P Krusell,
T Mukoyama… - Journal of Economic Theory, 2011 - Elsevier
Abstract This paper explores asset pricing in economies where there is no direct insurance
against idiosyncratic risks but where other assets can be used for self-insurance, subject to
exogenously-imposed borrowing limits. We analyze an endowment economy, based on ...

Abstract This paper analyzes the welfare effects of the change in unemployment insurance
benefits in three general equilibrium incomplete market models. In particular, it decomposes
the total effect for each individual into different factors. In all of the models that I consider, ...

Abstract This paper constructs a general equilibrium search-matching model with
heterogeneous workers. Workers choose whether to invest in general human capital or
specific human capital when they enter the labor market. We analyze how unemployment ...
T Mukoyama - Journal of Macroeconomics, 2008 - Elsevier
When we allow capital depreciation to be endogenous, the acceleration of investment-
specific technological progress can distort the measurement of the aggregate capital stock.
Our quantitative exercise shows that this effect may cause a substantial bias in the ...

Abstract We develop a model featuring search frictions and a nondegenerate labor supply
decision along the extensive margin, and argue that it does a reasonable job of matching
labor market flows between employment, unemployment and out of the labor force. ...
T Mukoyama… - Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, 2009 - Elsevier
This paper constructs a labor-market matching model with heterogeneous workers. Due to
matching frictions, there may be a mismatch of talents within a production team, forcing a
worker to specialize in a task at which she is not talented. We consider a partnership ...
This paper analyzes the welfare effects of unanticipated policy changes in a model with
complete asset markets and heterogeneous agents. There are two effects: an effect of the
change in wealth and a direct effect from the price change.

Abstract We study the implications of several aggregate shocks for the behavior of labor
market flows in a three state model of the labor market. While shocks to only job finding and
job loss rates can account for unemployment fluctuations, they account for only a small ...

► People in rich countries tend to live longer and healthier. But obviously, in the short run,
there are situations where per capita real GDP and welfare do not go together.(For example,
real GDP was very high during the WWII in the US) Thus, direct welfare measures are ...

We analyze a Bewley-Huggett-Aiyagari incomplete-markets model with labor-market
frictions. Consumers are subject to idiosyncratic employment shocks against which they
cannot insure directly. The labor market has a Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides structure: ...
Abstract This paper compares the establishment-level dynamics of the United States and
Japan. I find that there are substantial differences in entry and exit behavior, the average
size of establishments, and the amount of job reallocation. First, entry and exit rates are ...
Abstract In this paper, I examine how time-varying discount factors can contribute to labor
market volatility in a Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides matching model. I find that the
procyclical discount factor of either entrepreneurs or workers can magnify labor market ...
Abstract We study a political economy model of entry barriers. Each period the policymaker
determines whether to impose a high entry barrier on entry, and the special interest groups
try to influence the policymaker's decision. Entry is accompanied by creative destruction— ...
