Abstract

When the production function includes dynamic complementarities and a Cobb--Douglas form, dynamic complementarities are an endogenous propagation mechanism of shocks. The proposed model explains several stylized facts of aggregate variables of interest, including (i) hump-shaped impulse response functions, (ii) positively autocorrelated growth rates of aggregate variables, and (iii) correlation coefficients of forecastable movements in aggregate variables.
