Ebook Frictional Labor Markets, Bargaining Wedges, and Optimal Tax-Rate Volatility

Submitted by puput on Sat, 06/19/2010 - 01:55

We re-examine the optimality of tax smoothing from the point of view of frictional labor markets. Since Barro’s (1979) partial-equilibrium intuition, Lucas and Stokey’s (1983) general-equilibrium analysis, and continuing through to today’s quantitative DSGE models used to study optimal fiscal policy, the prescription that governments ought to hold labor tax rates virtually constant in the face of aggregate shocks is well-known to macroeconomists. We show that this cornerstone optimal-policy prescription and the intuition underlying it depend crucially on a Walrasian view of labor markets. If one instead takes what has emerged as the standard search and bargaining view of labor markets, tax-smoothing ceases to be important for empirically-relevant labor market parameters. If wages are determined in bilateral bargaining after workers and firms meet, not only is tax-smoothing unimportant, but purposeful tax-rate volatility is actually welfare-enhancing by partially offsetting cyclical bargaining-induced wedges.

Our baseline search and bargaining environment is identical to the one that has come into widespread use in recent DSGE modeling efforts. We quantitatively demonstrate the optimality of labor tax-rate volatility in this environment. In an effort to recover tax smoothing, we then incrementally alter the environment in a number of ways, each of which in principle reduces the severity of search and bargaining frictions. In particular, we change the timing of labor market flows, introduce a labor-force participation margin, and allow for wages to be determined in a competitive fashion, rather than through ex-post bilateral bargaining. Changing the timing of labor market flows and allowing a labor-force participation choice each, as well as together, only modestly reduces the degree of optimal tax-rate volatility.

Ebook The Financial Labor Supply Accelerator

Submitted by puput on Sat, 07/09/2011 - 02:44

In the standard model of labor supply based on intertemporal substitution, temporary wage increases expand both labor supply and assets. Hence, one might hypothesize that households repay debt when labor supply is high. Figure 1 examines this prediction with aggregate data and shows the opposite: Household debt (including mortgages and automobile loans) deflated by the chain-weighted price index for GDP and aggregate hours, both HP-filtered, display a clear and strong positive comovement.

Ebook A new measure of liquidity premium

Submitted by wulan on Sat, 01/30/2010 - 06:52

The economy is chock full of natural forward positions. An American company orders a Swiss machine for delivery in three months, payable in Swiss Francs. This order involves a natural forward exchange position, the ultimate value of which depends on the spot exchange rate between dollars and Swiss Francs three months from now.

The same company plans to finance its purchase by issuing dollar-denominated 90-day commercial paper three months from now. This plan involves a natural forward interest-rate position, the ultimate value of which depends on the spot rate of interest three months from now. If over the course of the next three months the exchange value of the dollar falls or the spot rate of interest rises, the company will lose on its natural forward positions, possibly so much so that the planned purchase no longer seems a wise business decision.
