Business cycles with distorting taxes and disaggregated capital markets
Article Abstract:
The existence of business cycles in an economic environment characterized by distortionary corporate and personal taxation is discussed via a neoclassical growth model. Recursive techniques are used to solve for decision rules. Results of the application of the model show that corporate taxes more than personal taxes exert a significant effect on the performance of business cycles. Furthermore, disaggregated investment was found to be vulnerable to changes in investment tax credit.

Ex post heterogeneity and the business cycle
Article Abstract:
The indivisible labor model is modified to include temporary heterogeneity in individual skills. The modification extends the representative agent framework, thus allowing the model to consider multi-skilled workers as a factor affecting output and other variables. The results confirm the importance of heterogeneity in influencing the volatility and comovement of output and other variables. The average quality variation reached 16%-30% of the output volatility.
