"Why can sectoral shocks lead to sizable macroeconomic fluctuations? Assessing alternative theories by means of stochastic simulation with a general equilibrium model" by Sartori, Martina and Roberto Roson Abstract We use a global, computable general equilibrium model to estimate how idiosyncratic, independent shocks to sectoral productivity could bring about variations to real income in a country. Some theories have been elaborated to explain why relatively small sectoral shocks could lead to sizable macroeconomic variability. We process the results of our simula- tion experiments to assess the relative importance of a number of potential explanations, as well as of other factors not accounted for in theoretical models. We find that the variability of the GDP, induced by sectoral shocks, is basically determined by the degree of industrial concentration. We interpret the absence of significant inter-industry propagation effects as a consequence of the fact that, typically, a non-negligible share of in- termediate production factors is imported. |
