  • Uncertainty shocks and the relative price of investment goods

    Munechika Katayama, Kwang Hwan Kim

    Review of Economic Dynamics   30   163 - 178  2018.10  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    This study empirically shows that higher uncertainty leads to not only a simultaneous drop in consumption and investment, but also a rise in the relative price of investment goods. This negative relationship between the relative price and quantity of investment suggests that heightened uncertainty depresses investment as an adverse supply shock to the investment sector. We demonstrate that a two-sector sticky price model with realistic asymmetric sectoral price rigidity can successfully account for our empirical findings. In particular, the underlying mechanism behind the negative relationship between the price and quantity of investment is limited intersectoral factor mobility. By contrast, the standard two-sector model featuring perfect factor mobility causes a negative co-movement between consumption and investment, contradicting the business cycle phenomenon.

  • Intersectoral Labor Immobility, Sectoral Comovement, and News Shocks

    Munechika Katayama, Kwang Hwan Kim

    Journal of Money, Credit and Banking   50 ( 1 ) 77 - 114  2018.02  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Sectoral comovement of output and hours worked is a prominent feature of business cycle data. However, most two-sector neoclassical models fail to generate this sectoral comovement. We construct and estimate a two-sector neoclassical Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DGSE) model generating sectoral comovement in response to both anticipated and unanticipated shocks. The key to our model's success is a significant degree of intersectoral labor immobility, which we estimate using data on sectoral hours worked. Furthermore, we demonstrate that imperfect intersectoral labor mobility provides a better explanation for the sectoral comovement than an alternative model emphasizing the role of labor-supply wealth effects.

  • The delayed effects of monetary shocks in a two-sector New Keynesian model

    Munechika Katayama, Kwang Hwan Kim

    JOURNAL OF MACROECONOMICS   38 ( Part B ) 243 - 259  2013.12  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    This paper studies a two-sector New Keynesian model that captures the hump-shaped response of non-durable and durable spending to a monetary shock when non-durable prices are sticky and durable goods are flexibly priced. Based on the estimated parameters, we show that habit formation and investment adjustment costs are not sufficient to generate the gradual response of non-durable and durable spending in this setup. We find that nominal wage rigidity and non-separable preferences between consumption and labor are also necessary to delay the peak response of non-durable and durable spending in the estimated two-sector New Keynesian model.

  • Non-separability and sectoral comovement in a sticky price model

    Kwang Hwan Kim, Munechika Katayama

    JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC DYNAMICS & CONTROL   37 ( 9 ) 1715 - 1735  2013.09  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    This paper resolves the sectoral comovement problem between nondurable and durable outputs that arises in response to a monetary shock in a two-sector sticky price model with flexibly priced durable goods. We analytically demonstrate that the non-separability between aggregate consumption and labor can generate the comovement between nondurable and durable outputs in response to a monetary policy shock. We then estimate the degree of non-separability, together with other parameters, using a Bayesian approach. We find that the non-separable preferences are supported by the data and our estimated model generates the sectoral comovement in response to a monetary shock. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

  • Declining effects of oil price shocks

    Munechika Katayama

    Journal of Money, Credit and Banking   45 ( 6 ) 977 - 1016  2013.09  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    In recent years, output responses to oil price shocks have not only been weaker, but have also reached their trough earlier. This paper builds a model that incorporates a realistic structure of U.S. petroleum consumption and explores three possible explanations for the changes. The possible factors considered are (i) deregulation in the transportation industry, (ii) improved energy efficiency, and (iii) a lower degree of persistence of oil price shocks. Under realistic parameter values, the three factors play an important role quantitatively, accounting for half of the reduction in the largest impact on output of an oil price shock over time. © 2013 The Ohio State University.

    　View Summary

    This study analyzes the impact of the anticipated shocks, where there are no changes in current fundamentals, but agents anticipate that fundamentals will be different in the near future, on the macroeconomic dynamics. To maintain consistency with empirical observations, it is important to correctly account for sectoral comovement. We propose a model and derive a condition for generating the sectoral comovement. In addition, our structural estimation reveals that labor immobility across sectors is the key mechanism. It turns out that the limited intersectoral factor mobility is also useful to account for business cycle fluctuations caused by uncertainty shocks. This new findings are summarized in another paper

  • 不確実性の変化によるマクロ経済に対する影響―投資財価格とゼロ金利制約―

    2017  

    　View Summary

    本研究では、金融危機以後とりわけ注目されるようになった、不確実性の拡大がどのような経路を通じて、マクロ経済に影響を与えるかを実証分析を通じて明らかにし、現実とより整合的な理論モデルを構築することが目的である。アメリカの投資財価格を用いた実証分析では、不確実性の拡大が投資財価格を押し下げることを明らかにした。これは、主流な理論の含意が現実と整合的でなく、投資財市場の供給サイドの役割が重要であることを示唆している。これをもとに、データとより整合的なモデルを提案した。具体的には、資本や労働力などの生産要素の部門間流動性が不完全であることが不可欠であることを示した。
