  • 摘要:We analyze the dynamic e¤ects of lumpy factor adjustments at the …rm level onto the aggregate economy. We …nd that distinguishing between capital and labour as lumpy fac- tors within the production function result in very di¤erent dynamics for aggregate output, investment and labour in an otherwise standard real business cycle model. Lumpy capital leaves the RBC mainly unchanged, while lumpy labour allows for persistence and an inner propagation within the model in form of hump-shaped impulse repsonses. In addition, when modeling lumpy adjustments on both investment and labour, the aggregate e¤ects are even stronger. We investigate the mechanisms underlying these results and identify the elasticity of factor supply as the most important element in accounting for these di¤erences.
