Abstract

Consumption falls counter-factually on impact for investment-specific technology shocks, which, recent literature suggests, are important drivers of business cycles. Introducing financial frictions and variable capacity utilization to the standard New-Keynesian setup can overturn this co-movement problem, without imposing restrictions on wealth effects, or wage rigidities.
