Business Cycles in emerging markets are characterized by strongly counter-cyclical current
accounts, consumption volatility that exceeds income volatility and dramatic sudden stops' in
capital inflows. These features contrast with developed small open economies and ...

In this paper, we use five decades of time-use surveys to document trends in the allocation
of time. We find that a dramatic increase in leisure time lies behind the relatively stable
number of market hours worked (per working-age adult) between 1965 and 2003. ...

Standard tests of the permanent income hypothesis (PIH) using data on nondurables
typically equate expenditures with consumption. However, as noted by Becker (1965),
consumption is the output of a home production'function that uses both expenditure and ...

World capital markets have experienced large scale sovereign defaults on a number of
occasions, the most recent being Argentina's default in 2002. In this paper we develop a
quantitative model of debt and default in a small open economy. We use this model to ...

This paper studies firm-level investment in the wake of the Mexican peso crisis of 1994.
While exporters outperform nonexporters in terms of profits and sales after the devaluation,
their investment is constrained by weak balance sheets. Specifically, we find that firms ...

In this paper we revisit two well-known facts regarding lifecycle expenditures. The first is the

Abstract We propose a tractable variant of the open economy neoclassical growth model
that emphasizes political economy and contracting frictions. The political economy frictions
involve a preference for immediate spending, while the contracting friction is a lack of ...
