▼ Existing empirical literature on political business cycles focused primarily on developed economies before it began considering a basket of both developed and developing economies. This study seeks to expand the existing literature by pursuing two objectives using Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) as locations of the study. The first objective is to examine the presence (lack thereof) of political business cycles in the BRICS trading block for the period 1994 to 2014. The second objective of this study is to examine the effect that political business cycles (if present) have on the sovereign credit ratings that the BRICS countries receive from credit rating agencies. Credit rating agencies make use of a combination of political, social and economic factors to determine the ratings assigned to various countries. The credit ratings assigned to countries by these agencies play an important role to international lenders as they use these ratings to make decisions on the interest rates they charge to different sovereigns. Based on the first objective, the findings from this study show that there is weak evidence of electorally timed interventions in BRICS economies over the period of 1994 to 2014. These findings are inconsistent with the predictions of political business cycle theory which suggests that incumbent politicians take advantage of the information gap between them and voters by implementing economic changes closer to an election year in order to exude competence and to increase their chances of reelection. However, further analysis based on the second objective shows that elections in BRICS countries are not viewed negatively by credit rating agencies. Hence, unlike in other developing countries, the BRICS countries are not likely to be downgraded during or after election years. Consequent to these findings, this study supports the notion that the government’s influence on the fiscal and monetary policy variables across BRICS is not concentrated nor overly exerted around election periods and that the BRICS countries’ institutions are regarded by rating agencies as independent and up to relevant international standards.

▼ This dissertation provides three empirical studies of industry performance related to different financial market cycles. Popular belief holds that industries provide systematic cyclical performance. Such systematic performance would present a challenge to basic assumptions of market efficiency. The three industry cycles investigated are sentiment cycles, political cycles, and business cycles. The first study investigates the interaction between three popular investor-sentiment measures and industry performance. Investor sentiment has a widespread and systematic effect on industry performance. Similar to prior market studies, investor sentiment predicts short-term industry mispricing. Predictable long-term industry reversals are weaker. Moreover, the effect of investor sentiment is widespread, with limited evidence of cross-sectional industry differences. Unlike prior market studies, there is no evidence of a relationship between investor sentiment and industry characteristics that serve as a proxy for valuation uncertainty. Lastly, an industry rotation strategy based on investor sentiment generates marginal outperformance, which turnover and transaction costs would consume. Results generally show that investor sentiment has a market-wide effect, questioning its usefulness in timing industry investments. The second study examines industry returns for presidential election cycles. Risk adjusted industry returns provide no evidence of political cycles previously documented in the U.S. stock market. In spite of the existence of market-wide effects, realized industry returns exhibit neither systematic nor persistent outperformance related to a president’s political affiliation or the year of a president’s term. Expected industry performance is equally unaffected by political cycles, exhibiting no systematic response to presidential elections and indicating that the market does not systematically price a president’s political affiliation in industry returns. The study’s results question the popular belief that certain industries systematically perform better under Democrats or Republicans and provide evidence that political cycles are solely a market-wide phenomenon best explained at a macroeconomic level. The third study investigates industry returns for systematic business-cycle performance. Popular guidance holds that sectors/industries provide systematic performance and that business-cycle rotation strategies generate excess market performance. The study tests these two fundamental assumptions of popular rotation strategies. Initially, the study assumes investors can perfectly anticipate business cycles and implement conventional sector rotation. However, there is no evidence of systematic sector performance where popular belief anticipates it will occur. At best, conventional sector rotation generates 2.3 percent annual excess returns. This performance quickly diminishes after an allowance for transaction costs and incorrectly timing business cycles. An examination of all sectors…

▼ This dissertation consists of three essays on the sources and desirability of economic fluctuations. Chapter 1 focuses on a source of fluctuations that has long been attached to the history of economic thought on business cycles: sticky prices. I provide a microfounded theory for one of the oldest, but so far informal, explanations of price rigidity: the kinked demand curve theory. Assuming that some customers observe at no cost only the price of the store they happen to be at gives rise to a kink in firms' demand curves: a price increase above the market price repels more customers than a price decrease attracts. The kink in turn makes a range of prices consistent with equilibrium, but an intuitive criterion – the adaptive rational-expectations criterion – selects a unique equilibrium where prices stay constant for a long time. The kinked-demand theory is consistent with price-setters' account of price-rigidity as arising from the customer's – not the firm's – side, and can be tested against menu-cost models in micro data: it predicts that prices should be more likely to change if they have recently changed, and that prices should be more flexible in markets where customers can more easily compare prices. The kinked-demand theory has novel implications for monetary policy: its Phillips curve is strongly convex but does not contain any (present or past) expectations of inflation; its trade-off between output and inflation persists in the long-run; changes to the distribution of sectoral productivity shift the Phillips curve; and monetary shocks have a much longer-lasting real effect than in a menu-cost model, despite also being a model of state-dependent pricing. Chapter 2, written with Emi Nakamura and J\'on Steinsson, starts from the assumption of nominal rigidities – asymmetric wage rigidity this time – to investigate the welfare costs of business cycles. We document that the dynamics of unemployment fit what Milton Friedman labeled a plucking model: a rise in unemployment is followed by a fall of similar amplitude, but the amplitude of the rise does not depend on the previous fall. We develop a microfounded plucking model of the business cycle to account for these phenomena. The model features downward nominal wage rigidity within an explicit search model of the labor market. Our search framework implies that downward nominal wage rigidity is fully consistent with optimizing behavior and equilibrium. We reassess the costs of business cycle fluctuations through the lens of the plucking model. Contrary to New-Keynesian models where fluctuations are cycles around an average natural rate, the plucking model generates fluctuations that are gaps below potential (as in Old-Keynesian models). In this model, business cycle fluctuations raise not only the volatility but also the average level of unemployment, and stabilization policy can reduce the average level of unemployment and therefore yield sizable welfare benefits. Chapter 3 is a contribution to a second branch of Keynesian economics, which sees the…

This dissertation aims at building alternative measures of economic uncertainty from micro data. The resulting panel measurements enable investigations of real uncertainty effects at the individual, firm, industry, and macro level. Two uncertainty models are introduced to demonstrate additional channels through which uncertainty poses impacts on economic activities. In the first chapter, I propose a novel firm-level uncertainty measure based on the latent conditional volatility of forecast errors. By applying this measure to I/B/E/S database, I track 1,916 U.S. public companies' uncertainties for over 34 years. The firm-level measurements are then aggregated into a macro uncertainty index and the implications at the macro- and micro-level are compared. At the macro level, VAR results indicate a strong "granular origin'' of real uncertainty effects from large firms in addition to the classical short-lived "drop and rebound'' effect. At the firm level, panel regression results confirm the negative impact of macro uncertainty on firm investment and reveal a composite effect of idiosyncratic uncertainty that depends on investment horizon, firm profitability and magnitude of shock (Empirical results are also shown in Chapter 2).The second chapter introduces two uncertainty models that show channels other than "real option'' and "risk aversion & risk premia'' in contemporary literature. The first model is based on Lucas Island Model and Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). It tries to understand the uncertainty effects from the perspective of inefficient expectation and the resulting underproduction problem. The second model inherits New-Keynesian assumptions and features a competition mechanism. It emphasizes the real loss from unexpected supply and demand shocks. Both models include idiosyncratic and macro uncertainty as separate factors and predict a generally negative impact of macro uncertainty versus a composite effect of idiosyncratic uncertainty. In the third chapter, I propose a new measure of macroeconomic uncertainty that incorporates rich information set from U.S. SPF density forecasts. The measure has two key advantages over traditional measures: (i) it reflects the subjective perceptions of market participants; (ii) it is an ex-ante measure that does not require the knowledge of realized outcomes. I study the features of this measure of macroeconomic uncertainty and explore its impact on real economic activities within the U.S. as well as its spillover effects on BRIC countries.The Appendix discusses the methodology used in Chapter 3.

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the empirical research that studies the interactions between economics and politics. In democratic regimes the set of economic policies adopted, is decided through elections where various interests either collide or ally in favor of different politico-economic outcomes. The importance of the economy in voter’s decision making process, is identified as a factor that can have distortive effects on incumbents’ behavior before elections as those who are opportunistically driven, have the incentive to manipulate fiscal policy to enhance voters’ well-being and improve their re-election prospects. Α number of studies shows that significant and robust results in favor of this hypothesis exist. This thesis investigates whether there are other instruments and channels, besides fiscal policy, that can be used by opportunistically motivated politicians as instruments to enhance their re-election possibilities. Moreover, we study the institutional aspects upon which the emergence of such opportunistically induced effects is conditioned. In our study we employ econometric techniques in the context of dynamic panel data analysis and the areas under investigation include the level of product market regulation and the degree by which state participates in economic activity through state owned enterprises. These two areas are subject to governments’ decisions and can generate rents for certain parts of the electorate. Additionally, we examine the presence of electoral effects on composite indices that capture broader institutional and legal aspects. Finally, we investigate the existence of politically induced effects at the level of sub-national governmental entities where greater institutional homogeneity can be found. For this, we study for electoral effects on fiscal policy and public hiring for the case of Greek municipalities. Our answers document that evidence of pre-electoral manipulation can be found in the areas under examination with our results depending upon various institutional factors including the ones already identified in the relevant political budget cycles literature and others that we first incorporate in the analysis of political-economic cycles. For the case of Greece’s local governments our evidence reveal the presence of politically induced cycles both in local finances and municipal employment.

▼ This dissertation contains two related empirical essays on political connections in China, using evidence on the land market as a case study. The first essay examines whether the politically connected firms obtain economic rents based on their connections, and their consequences both at the firm level and for the land market as a whole, whereas the second essay examines whether these bureaucrats-directors shared part of the rents. In the first essay, I employ a data set that contains land transactions conducted between the publicly listed firms and local governments in China for the period 2000-2012, and find that the politically connected firms had been able to obtain economic rents of an average magnitude of 16% from the local governments with which they have developed ties. By drawing a distinction between general political ties, which we define as firms having hired former senior officials from just anywhere in the country, and local connections, referred to those firms having hired the former officials from precisely the same municipalities in which they held positions and bought land, we rule out the possibility that managerial ability or local knowledge is the channel through which the discount associated with political connections emanate. Furthermore, by showing that the rents obtained from political connections are larger for: 1) land designated for real estate development, 2) when land was sold using a less transparent method, and 3) in regions where the size of the government bureaucracy is larger, we prove that the channel by which economic rents are created is due to rents seeking. Conversely (but consistently), the size of rents diminish noticeably in times of anti-corruption campaigns. Last but not least, while firms that paid a lower price for land has a higher market value, the discount has no effect on either the firm’s revenue or productivity. Overall, we find that evidence of political connections in China’s land market is associated with significantly greater government intervention in the land market. In my second essay, I examine the question of whether the former government and/or party officials benefited from being directors of the listed firms in which they subsequently serve. Using a different data set, I find that, while these former bureaucrats do receive compensations higher than their peers without prior bureaucratic experience, this premium is actually attributed to the “connecting role” they helpfully assumed in the land transactions, rather than based on the firm’s overall performance—metrics upon which compensations made to their non-official directors are based. Specifically, firms with directors who are formerly bureaucrats serving in the same municipality from which they purchased land paid an average of 17% less on land price, from which about 1%—equivalent to about 0.5 million yuan per deal—is paid to them as bonus. The “broker” directors also profit from trading firm’s stock before and after the land transaction. Consistent with the previous findings, this one similarly…

▼ This dissertation consists of two related essays on political embeddedness and tries to advance the political economy literature by examining the effectiveness of private firms’ political embeddedness and tackling the internal mechanisms through which political embeddedness influences corporate financial performance and innovation performance. The dissertation examines two important questions: 1) at the individual level, how would entrepreneur owners’ political embeddedness affect corporate financial performance; and 2) at the top management team level, how would political embeddedness of top managers influence firm innovation for private firms. I address these issues in two separate essays and use different samples of private firms in China to test my propositions, including both the survey data on Chinese private firms in 1999 and in 2009 and archival data on listed firms in China during 2008-2012. Essay one investigates the relationship between entrepreneur owners’ political embeddedness and corporate financial performance. Based on the political economy literature and resource-based view, I addressed that political embeddedness would generate better firm performance for private firms with more intangible resources because those firms are more effective in utilizing the potential resources provided by political embeddedness due to the resource complementarity effect. In addition, the positive joint effect of political embeddedness and intangible resources increases as the market becomes more developed since the enlarged market opportunities amplify the room for firms to realize the value of resource combination between government-controlled resources and firms’ intangible resources. Essay two intends to dwell deeper into the influences of bureaucratic embeddedness by examining its disparate effects on two types of firm innovation: incremental innovation and radical innovation. Investigation in a panel of small private listed firms in China from 2008 to 2012 suggests that top managers’ bureaucratic embeddedness propels private firms to engage more in incremental innovation and less in radical innovation. Moreover, the effects of bureaucratic embeddedness on firm innovation are contingent on firm slack, foreign ownership and provincial state power.

▼ The objective of this study is to understand the dynamics of international monetary policy and the relationship that exists between larger more developed economies and smaller less developed economies within a policy context. The 2008 financial crisis has caused intense revival of Austrian economics due to the monetary nature of the recession caused as a subsequent effect of the stock/housing market collapse that occurred in 2007. One factor of the 2008 financial crisis that created intense concern was the extent to which the slowdown in economic activity was able to be transmitted across international borders. The South African economy was not isolated from the financial crisis by any means and experienced a significant slowdown in economic growth. By making use of data collected from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and the appropriate econometric techniques, a model is developed to study the dynamics between United States monetary policy and the South African economy. The Austrian School provides a sound theoretical framework that allows for the specification of testable propositions to verify the validity of an “Austrian” internationally transmitted business cycle. Using United States money supply, South African private consumption, South African gross fixed capital formation and the South African current account, a vector autoregressive model is specified to analyse the dynamics behind the United States and South African economy. The results of the empirical test all confirm the theoretical prescriptions developed in the literature review that monetary growth in the United States raise consumption, investment and improve the current account balance in the South African economy. This is a novel result for this study as it confirms that a large central economy has the ability to trigger economic expansions in a peripheral economy. This study further points out the inefficiencies associated with Keynesian style policy making and propagates for a movement towards a more prudent Austrian approach. Keynesian policy making through demand oriented policies have historically been more concerned with “curing” economic instability rather than preventing it. In light of this, the need for economic reform specifically within the manner in which monetary policy is conducted is evident. Aggressive monetary policy in the wake of economic slowdown is no longer effective at creating a sustainable and stable economic environment. A movement away from the monopolization of money and central economic decision making is necessary if the global economy wishes to reach economic permanence.

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between liquidity and credit risks, and bank spread. It also sought to determine the cyclicality of the effects of liquidity and credit risks. Financial institutions play an important role in the Ghana’s economy. Among other things, the intermediary role they play between entities with surplus funds and those who have a deficit. They do this by accepting surplus funds through savings and other deposits which they then give to deficit entities through loans, overdrafts and other means. Theories such as the theory of financial intermediation assign some activities, also known as qualitative assets transformation, as the fundamental functions of banks. These activities that banks undertake also have associated risks which include liquidity risks and credit risks. The risks affiliated with maturity transformation evolve partly as a result of ensuring a sustainable level of liquidity anytime short-term deposits are used to finance fixed-rate long-term loans. This results in liquidity risks. Also, as intermediaries, banks stand surety for borrowers, since they guarantee repayment to depositors (lenders). To obtain the goals of the study, data was obtained from the Ghana Stock Exchange for banks that had quarterly data from the year 2008 to 2017. Macroeconomic data was taken from the World Bank database and Ghana Statistical Service database. These were analysed using the Generalised Methods of Moments (GMM) estimation technique. The findings of the study show firstly that, business cycles have a strong positive relationship with bank spread. This relationship is statistically significant, suggesting that there is a strong relationship and correlation between business cycle phases and the interest rate spread of banks, hence bank spread among the sampled banks is procyclical. Also, the findings indicate that credit risk is significant than liquidity risk in explaining bank spreads, but their relative effects differ over the business cycle phases. Credit risk is more significant on spreads in the period of expansion in the economy, while liquidity risk is more significant on spreads in the period of recession in Ghana. It is recommended that banks should factor the cyclical feature of liquidity risk and credit risk in pricing loans. Future researchers should consider cross-country analysis in Sub Saharan Africa to determine whether our findings can be extended to include other countries in the region.

▼ This dissertation deals with the macroeconomic implications of fiscal policy in small open economies with a particular emphasis on emerging economies. I use both empirical and theoretical approaches to distinguish key difference in the design of fiscal policy between emerging and developed economies. I also analyze the macroeconomic consequences of differences in the conduct of fiscal policy. Thus, the dissertation is focused on the interplay between fiscal policy and business cycle dynamics. Recent policy challenges in developed economies, such as monetary authorities grappling with the zero lower bound on short run nominal rates and fiscal stimulus packages emerging as an important policy tool, have sparked renewed academic interest in the topic of fiscal policy and business cycles. Institutional and macroeconomic features in emerging economies make the macroeconomic aspects of fiscal policy an important research agenda and one to which this dissertation contributes. A number of papers have documented fiscal policy pro-cyclicality in terms of stronger co-movement between government expenditure and macroeconomic fundamentals in emerging and developing economies. This feature of the data raises 2 important questions: 1) does fiscal policy reinforce the macroeconomic cycle in these countries leading to heighten macroeconomic volatility ("when it rains, it pours"), and 2) is the fiscal stance in these economies due to unique macroeconomic features or is it the consequence of institutional and political imperfections? The first chapter, titled "When it rains, it pours": fiscal policy, credit constraints and business cycles in emerging and developed economies, sets out to answer these questions by comparatively studying a group of developed and emerging economies. I estimate a panel structural vector autoregressive model to investigate if government consumption expenditure responds more pro-cyclically to fundamentals and what role international financial conditions play for the fiscal stance and for the volatility of the cycle in emerging and developed economies. My findings suggest that the response to output fluctuations is not systematically different for emerging governments relative to their developed counterparts. However, emerging governments curtail spending in response to increases in the sovereign borrowing rate which forces their consumption expenditure to act more pro-cyclically. I find evidence of higher fiscal discretion in emerging economies. However, the efficacy of government consumption expenditure is substantially lower in emerging than in developed economies. Thus, fiscal policy ends up being responsible for a lower share of business cycle volatility in emerging than in developed economies. In the second chapter, titled Estimating the Dynamics of Fiscal Financing in Emerging Economies, I propose a strategy for estimating the government financing rule for an emerging economy. The estimation uses the structural VAR impulse responses obtained in the previous chapter to discipline the parameters of a… Advisors/Committee Members: Peter N. Ireland (Thesis advisor).

▼ This dissertation combines micro-level empirical analyses and general equilibrium structural models to study shock propagation mechanisms and business cycles dynamics, with a particular emphasis on the role played by firms. In the first chapter, we study how regional shocks spill over across U.S. local markets through intra-firm market networks and explore how such spillovers reshape household welfare across regions. We link data on barcode-region-level prices and quantities with producer-level information to exploit variation in firms' initial exposure to differential drops in local house prices in the 2007-09 recession. We show that a firm's local sales decrease in response to not only direct negative local demand shock but also indirect negative local demand shocks originating in its other markets. Intra-firm cross-market spillover effects arise mainly from product creation and destruction, whereas direct local shock operates through the sales of continuing products. Spillover effects occur because (i) firms replace products that have higher value – sales per product, unit price, and organic sales share – with lower-value ones in response to negative demand shocks, and (ii) such product replacements are synchronized across many markets within each firm. Counterfactual analysis using an estimated multi-region model with endogenous quality adjustments shows that our channel works as a novel inter-regional shock transmission mechanism and generates an implicit regional redistribution effect. Such effect is economically sizable and is comparable to the size of transfer policies implemented during the Great Recession. In the second chapter, we investigate a role of supply chain network in transmitting housing market disruptions during the Great Recession. We build up a unique micro-level data that combines local housing market condition, firms' sales in each local market, and firm-level supply chain network information. Exploiting firm-specific demand shock stemming from cross-market variation in house price changes and an initial difference in firms' local sales, we find that such shock not only affects downstream firms but also transmits to their suppliers. The estimated supplier-level elasticity is quantitatively large, reflecting larger role of downstream firms with higher elasticity in the network structure. To quantify such propagation at the aggregate level, we build up a parsimonious network model calibrated to match the micro-level data. Our counterfactual analysis shows that approximately 18% of the observed drop in the aggregate output can be attributed to the propagating role of the supply chain network. In the third chapter, we study the business cycle with a Translog production function. We empirically identify a complementarity between labor and energy that leads to procyclical returns to scale, which is not compatible with the tightly parameterized production function commonly used in the literature (Cobb-Douglas and CES). Therefore, we propose a flexible Translog production function that not only…

▼ This dissertation investigates the effects of frictions that emerge from financial markets on business-cycle fluctuations. The purpose of Chapter 1 is to situate my work in the literature and to stress its contributions. In Chapter 2, I reassess the role of financial frictions in amplifying the impacts of productivity shocks using a framework in which a fraction of firms are borrowing-constrained and land is a collateral asset. A first finding is that amplification effects are much lower when land is supplied elastically. However, financial shocks that affect the maximum allowable ratio of loans to collateral have greater effects on output. Another result pertains to the role of the elasticity of substitution between land and capital in responses to financial shocks: lower values generate greater output responses. While Chapter 2's environment is set up to be in a closed-economy, the last two chapters involve two-country settings. Chapter 3 still intersects with Chapter 2 on some dimensions, in particular, land dynamics and financial frictions that feature borrowing-constrained firms. The borrowing mechanism brings about a distortion in labour markets that interacts with a class of preferences that are non-separable between consumption and leisure. Technology shocks contribute to explain international co-movements, whereas financial shocks allow the model to replicate the lack of international risk sharing that is characterized by the quantity anomaly and the Backus-Smith puzzle. In Chapter 4, I apply Chari, Kehoe and McGrattan’s (2007) business cycle accounting method to a two-country, two-good real business cycle model. Using their approach, I measure the same closed-economy time-varying wedges and I introduce an international wedge that accounts for discrepancies between the growth in real exchange rates and in the stochastic discount factors ratio. In fact, the effects of financial frictions embedded in Chapter 3's framework can be retrieved from a combination of labour and investment wedges. The volatility of the international wedge corresponds to a metric of bilateral risk sharing. An important finding is that, from a non-separable preferences specification of the baseline model, the investment wedge partly accounts for the Backus-Smith puzzle. This suggests that distortions in national capital markets are important to consider for international risk sharing.

▼ The dissertation studies the sources of business cycles taking both an open and a closed economy perspective. A common feature of the two chapters composing the dissertation is the use of simple, but powerful classifications and identifications of sources of business cycles. In particular, the first chapter, titled “What are the Sources of Boom-Bust Cycles?”, concerns the distinction between economic fluctuations due to changes in beliefs, and fluctuations due to changes in fundamentals, showing results that challenge traditional approaches to modeling business cycles. The second chapter, titled “Shocks and Exchange Rates in Small Open Economies”, takes the perspective of small open economies, and concerns the distinc- tion between global and domestic shocks, showing results that are informative for a series of puzzling facts concerning the dynamics of the exchange rate. In “What are the Sources of Boom-Bust Cycles?,” joint with Marco Brianti, we provide a synthesis of two major views on economic fluctuations. One view maintains that expansions and recessions arise from the interchange of positive and negative persistent exogenous shocks to fundamentals. This is the conventional view that gave rise to the profusion of shocks used in modern dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models. In contrast, a second view, which we call the endogenous cycles view, holds that business cycle fluctuations are due to forces that are internal to the economy and that endogenously favor recurrent periods of boom followed by a bust. In this environment, cycles can occur after small perturba- tions of the long run equilibrium. We find empirical evidence pointing at the coexistence of both views. In particular, we find that the cyclical behaviour of economic aggregates is due in part to strong internal mechanisms that generate boom-bust phenomena in response to small changes in expectations, and in part to the interchange of positive and negative persistent fundamental shocks. Motivated by our findings, we build a theory that unifies the dominant paradigm with the endogenous cycles approach. Our theory suggests that recessions and expansions are intimately related phenomena, and that understanding the nature of an expansion, whether it is driven by fundamentals or by beliefs, is a first order issue for policy makers whose mandate is to limit the occurrance of inefficient economic fluctuations. In “Shocks and Exchange Rates in Small Open Economies,” joint with Pierre De Leo, we propose a novel approach to separately identify domestic and external shocks in small open economies. Our results provide guidance about the transmission mechanism of these shocks and revisit recent conclusions drawn on the exchange rate effects of monetary policy in small open economies. The identification method is based on the premise that shocks originating from within a small economy should not influence world variables at any horizon, while external (or global) shocks should affect world variables at least at some horizon. We obtain three empirically related… Advisors/Committee Members: Ryan Chahrour (Thesis advisor).

▼ This dissertation investigates several business cycle relationships when economic agents are heterogeneous. The particular focus is on the interactions between the cross-section of agents and the aggregate state of the economy. The first chapter shows that, when occasionally binding capacity constraints limit the production of heterogeneous firms, demand shocks can endogenously generate a number of important business cycle regularities: recessions are deeper than booms are high, firm-level volatility is countercyclical, the aggregate Solow residual is procyclical and the fiscal multiplier is countercyclical. A baseline calibration of a basic New Keynesian DSGE model with capacity constraints shows that this mechanism can explain more than a quarter of the empirically observed asymmetry in output, and matches the cyclicality of firm-level profitability dispersion and of the measured Solow residual. The model implies fluctuations in the fiscal multiplier of around 0.12 between expansions and recessions. Chapter two takes a different approach to firm level uncertainty, exploring how recessions can cause an endogenous rise in firm risk. If heterogeneous firms face real and financial frictions, then a shock to the mean of aggregate productivity endogenously leads to countercyclical profitability risk through firms' heterogeneous responses in price setting. Additionally, the mechanism endogenously generates countercyclical credit spreads and credit spread dispersion. The model explains a large share of the observed fluctuations in profitability dispersion (69%) and in credit spreads (40%) through fluctuations in aggregate TFP holding productivity risk constant. This suggests that the scope for uncertainty shocks to explain recessions may be smaller than previously thought. The third chapter focuses on distributional effects of oil price shocks on the household side. In the model, household behavior replicates two patterns found in household-level data which show that gas consumption increases with income, but on the intensive margin gasoline consumption as a share of the household's budget decreases with income. The model includes gas consumption in household utility on top of a fixed minimum level of gas consumption. Calibrated simulations suggest that a shock to the gas price is almost twice as costly for relatively poor households than for relatively rich households.

JEL classifications: H72, D72

In this work the discussion is focused on the empirical test of the presence of opportunistic cycles in municipal budgets of Poland and Spain. In the view of progressive decentralization of public sector, the research is extended by the examination of fiscal autonomy effect. Panel data analysis provides an evidence on electoral cycles in the categories of spending considered in the literature as invisible to the electorate. In particular, local incumbents seeking re-election signal higher competence through manipulation of spending policies associated with social support, environmental protection, public safety and administration. Further research indicates that electoral cycles in Spain are intensified by limited authority of councillors determined by transfers from the central government. The main findings suggest that distribution of fiscal power to sub-national governments may mitigate the effects of political budget cycles.

Neste trabalho a discussão centra-se no teste empírico à presença de ciclos oportunistas nos orçamentos municipais de Espanha e Polonia. Com base na progressiva descentralização do sector publico, a investigação estende-se também ao tratamento dos efeitos da autonomia fiscal. A analise de dados de painel fornece evidencias da existência de ciclos eleitorais nas categorias de gastos públicos consideradas na literatura como invisíveis ao eleitorado. Em particular, governos locais que procurem a reeleição apresentam uma maior evidência de manipulação de politicas de gastos públicos associados atividades como apoio social, proteção ambiental, segurança publica e administração. A investigação indica ainda que os ciclos eleitorais em Espanha são intensificados em concelhos com autonomia limitada e determinada por transferências vindas da administração central. Os principais resultados sugerem que a transferência de poder para os governos locais pode mitigar os efeitos dos ciclos políticos nos respetivos orçamentos.

JEL Classification: D72, H72

This study provides a unique comparison between Polish and Spanish local governments with respect to the impact of various political factors on the size and composition of public expenditure. In particular, it aims at verifying the existence of political business cycles as well as partisan effects in the analyzed states at the subnational level. Additionally, the role of fiscal autonomy in shaping the spending decisions and its effect on the magnitude of opportunistic behavior of mayors are also investigated. For the purpose of an empirical research, panel data analysis is applied and a set of equations is estimated separately for each of the countries. Apart from examining total expenses, the level of expenditure on public goods perceived as potentially highly visible to the voters is also considered. The results confirm the hypothesis of an increased spending, both in the aggregate terms and in particular categories, during the pre-election periods. Also, in Poland and Spain higher degree of fiscal authority granted to lower tiers of public administration corresponds to a decrease in the size of public sector. Finally, an evidence of an intensified opportunistic behavior of politicians in the light of greater fiscal autonomy is found.

Este estudo apresenta uma comparação única entre os governos locais de Espanha e Polónia no que diz respeito ao impacto dos vários fatores políticos na dimensão e composição da despesa pública. Em particular, o estudo centra-se em verificar a existência de ciclos políticos bem como de efeitos partidários nos países sobre análise, a um nível local. Adicionalmente, o papel da autonomia fiscal enquanto elemento influente nas decisões sobre gastos públicos e no grau de oportunismos dos decisores políticos são também investigados. Para o propósito da analise empírica, é utilizado dados de painel e o grupo de equações é estimado de forma separada para cada um dos países. Para além de analisar a despesa total, o nível de despesa em bens públicos percebido como potencialmente elevado pelos votantes é também considerado. Os resultados confirmam a hipótese de um nível crescente de despesa publica, tanto em termos agregados como em categorias particulares, durante os períodos pré-eleitorais. Também, em Espanha e na Polónia um grau elevado de autonomia fiscal garantida para os nível baixos da administração pública corresponde a um decréscimo do tamanho do sector público. Finalmente, são encontradas evidencias de intensificação do comportamento oportunista de políticos em ambientes de maior autonomia fiscal.

▼ In 2008, the global economy went into recession. Millions of jobs were lost, confidence in the financial markets fell and billions of dollars were lost by investors. Prior to the onset of the recession, the major economies of the world (USA, and Western Europe) had experienced a period of economic boom and expansion. Austrian Business Cycle Theory proposes that the roots of the current financial crisis and recessions in general, are found the actions of central banks through credit expansion and manipulation of interest rates. Central banks manipulate interest rates causing them to fall below the natural level, leading to credit expansion and malinvestments. Austrian Business Cycle Theory is based in capital theory. Capital theory incorporates the elements of time and money and allows the setting of a microeconomic foundation. The theory recognises that investment is not an aggregate (as do Keynesians and Monetarists). Opposition to empirical testing by Austrian economists has meant that few statistical analyses of Austrian Business Cycle Theory have been carried out. The apprehension toward empirical testing of Austrian Business Cycle Theory stems from some Austrian economists who argue that human behaviour cannot be captured in statistical terms. Recently, some Austrian economists have begun to do empirical research Austrian Business Cycle Theory and the thesis adds to that growing field. The thesis tests empirically for ABCT in South Africa by using Vector Error Correction Model and Granger causality techniques and the results are as follows: The Vector Error Correction Model shows that any disequilibrium adjustment in the structural equations influences correction mostly through changes in Manufacturing. The disequilibrium adjustment process for Investment is also found to have statistical significance. The results propose that Investment in South Africa is not inert. The Granger causality tests show that credit expansion causes interest rates to be artificially lowered leading to mal-investments. The main policy recommendation is that business cycles can be prevented by not manipulating interest rates and by not increasing credit availability.

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Economics 2014.

This study consists of three chapters, each of which is an individual paper. The first chapter investigates how the dynamic process of reallocation of credit across firms behaves before and after financial crises. Applying the methodology proposed by Davis and Haltiwanger (1992) for measuring job reallocation, we construct measures of credit reallocation across Korean firms in the 1981-2012 period. The credit boom preceding the 1997 financialcrisis featured a modest intensity of credit reallocation. By contrast,after the crisis and the associated reforms, credit reallocationsignificantly intensified and started to comove with the business cycle, while credit growth slowed down (deleveraging). The higher dynamism of the credit sector in reallocating liquidity cannot be explained by “flight to quality” episodes but reflectsa structural change in the credit reallocation process that has persisted since the end of the crisis. The intensification of credit reallocation appears to have been associated with enhanced allocative efficiency.The second chapter explores the evolution of credit reallocation across Korean non-financial firms for the period 1981-2012. I employ a dynamic latent factor model that decomposes regional credit reallocation rates into national, region-specific and idiosyncratic components. I find that the common factor explaining common movement across 16 regional credit flows increased after the 1997 financial crisis. The common factor comoves withnational excess reallocation. It is positively and strongly correlated with national excess reallocation, while it is negatively correlated withnational net credit growth. It exhibits mild counter-cyclicality. I examine what extent the volatility of credit reallocation was driven bynational, region-specific and idiosyncratic components. This study uncovers evidence that the national factor accounts for a sizable fraction of regional reallocation rates of total credit and loans, while it plays only a minor role in explaining the fluctuation in regional reallocation rates of bonds.The last chapter explores the relationship between religion and bank performance. The study uses data on credit unions in Korea for the period 2000 to 2007 to investigate the effects of religion on bank performance. The empirical results show that credit unions based on religious institutions not only suffer less from troubled loans but they also enjoy higher profits relative to ordinary ones. I find that the religious credit unions' unique features, such as non random potential clientele, rich soft information and reputational incentive to repay, are likely to be what enables them to outperform.

▼ Feedlot operations over the years have increased revenue and boosted economies of states and countries, but these operations have resulted in elevated concentrations of nutrients in soils, surface water, and groundwater. Feedlot operations generate large quantities of manure and other waste, which when not managed properly can result in environmental problems. It is hypothesized that nitrogen can cause a short-term contamination of soils and groundwater beneath abandoned feedlots, but phosphorus can cause both short- and long term contamination, especially in well-drained carbonate and iron-rich soils associated with Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations. It is also hypothesized that a spectral vegetation index can be used as an effective indicator of plant-available soil nutrients and optimum soil conditions for precise decision-making in fertilizer application. To test these hypotheses, analysis of soils, graminoid tissues, aerial spectral images, surface water, and groundwater samples from a former feedlot in northwest Minnesota were used to quantify the phosphorus budget, characterize nutrients movement and plant vigor, and determine the fate of nutrients. Soil analysis revealed elevated concentrations of sequestered phosphorus at the confined animal holding areas, in contrast to varying concentrations of nitrate in the wetlands. Groundwater analysis indicated a steady decline in nitrate concentration due to denitrification, leaching, and plant uptake, with sequestered phosphorus released in soluble form due to reduction conditions. These nutrients are transported into the wetlands for consumption by plants and microbes. Although there was no relationship observed between spectral vegetation indices and plant tissue nutrients, the indices correlated with soil-available nutrient and soil properties. Modified soil-adjusted vegetation index (MSAVI) was the best index for characterizing plant vigor and soil relationships due to its reduced sensitivity to atmospheric conditions and the changes in vegetative cover as compared to the other indices. The lack of any relationship between plant tissue and the spectral indices suggests that acid digestion approach used in plant tissue nutrient analysis may be problematic due to the volatility of some of the nutrients. This research provides insight into the viability of feedlots abandoned more than a decade as a source of phosphorus to supplement the primary sources of phosphorus used in fertilizer. It is estimated that crops remove approximately 2 to 15 mg kg-1 of phosphorus for growth. Phosphorus concentrations in some areas exceed 50 mg kg-1, which implies no soil phosphorus fertilization is required for plant growth. Agronomists and stakeholders in agriculture and food security should take a holistic approach and conduct feasibility studies on using sequestered phosphorus in abandoned feedlot soils as alternative source of phosphorus fertilizer.

▼ The global biogeochemical cycles (GBCs), which include cycles of C, N, P, S, Cl, I, and H2O, are extremely important biosphere functions, critical to the maintenance of conditions necessary for all life. Importantly, perturbation of these GBCs has the potential to affect the structure and functioning of the Earth system as a whole. While biogeochemistry research to date has largely focused on ‘natural’ processes, human economic activities are increasingly recognised as integral components of the GBCs. This thesis draws on both static and dynamic-system modelling approaches to describe the coupled economic and GBC systems, and to develop tools to assist in learning about these systems, with the aim of progressing towards sustainability. First, by drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Input-Output Analysis and Material Flow Analysis, an extensive and coherent static system model of the global C, N, P and S cycles is presented. Data within that static model are then used to calculate a set of sustainability indicators, based on a new and novel concept of ‘ecotime’. Essentially, these indicators describe the level at which the global economy, through its transformation of useful resources (i.e. raw materials) into residuals (i.e. wastes, pollutants, emission), appropriates biogeochemical processes. Changes in these and other indicators, under possible future scenarios, are also able to be investigated by a new dynamic model known as ‘Ecocycle’. Ecocycle constitutes one of very few attempts to develop an integrated model of the Earth system, explicitly capturing relationships between the GBCs and human activities. A notable feature of Ecocycle is that it represents the general equilibrium-seeking behaviour of an economy within a System Dynamics modelling approach, rather than through an optimisation approach as typically employed. A further significant methodological contribution of the thesis is the development of a technique for translating IO-based accounts between alternative process-by-commodity, commodity-by-commodity, and process-by-process frameworks. This method is required for both the static and dynamic components of the thesis.
