Entrepreneurship and the Business Cycle [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 We find new empirical regularities in the business cycle in a cross-country panel of 22 OECD countries for the period 1972-2007; entrepreneurship Granger-causes the cycles of the world economy. Furthermore, entrepreneurial activity is affected by national unemployment levels. We discuss possible causes and implications of these findings.

Econometrica, 2002 We propose a simple method to help researchers develop quantitative models of economic fluctuations. The method rests on the insight that many models are equivalent to a prototype growth model with time-varying wedges which resemble productivity, labor and investment taxes, and government consumption. Wedges corresponding to these variables–efficiency,

The Seasonal Cycle and the Business Cycle [PDF]
Journal of Political Economy, 1988 Almost all recent research on macroeconomic fluctuations has worked with seasonally adjusted or annual data. This paper takes a different approach by treating seasonal fluctuations as worthy of study in their own right. Our results show that seasonal fluctuations are an important source of variation in all macroeconomic quantity variables but are small

Unemployment and Business Cycles [PDF]
International Finance Discussion Papers, 2013 We develop and estimate a general equilibrium model that accounts for key business cycle properties of macroeconomic aggregates, including labor market variables. In sharp contrast to leading New Keynesian models, wages are not subject to exogenous nominal rigidities.
