Heterogeneous Markups Cyclicality and Monetary Policy

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper studies aggregate markup cyclicality through firm‐level heterogeneity, reallocation, and aggregation. Using the U.S. firm data for 1990–2016, we find that markups are procyclical for young firms and countercyclical for older firms following monetary policy shocks. Economic activity also reallocates modestly toward young firms.

A Quantile Model of Firm Investment

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Are firms risk averse? We propose a dynamic model of firm investment under uncertainty that captures firms' risk attitudes through quantile preferences. The firm maximizes its present value, defined as current profits and investment plus the discounted value of the τ$\tau$‐quantile of its value next period.
