摘要
En 中文
We develop a theory linking misallocation, i.e., dispersion in marginal products of capital (MPK), to macroeconomic risk. Dispersion in MPK depends on (i) heterogeneity in firm -level risk and (ii) the magnitude of risk premia. Stock market-based measures imply that risk considerations explain about 25% of MPK dispersion among US firms and rationalize a large persistent component in firm-level MPK, consistent with the micro-level data. Time -varying risk premia lead to countercyclical MPK dispersion alongside procyclical capital reallocation. Risk-based MPK dispersion in part shapes the dynamic behavior of aggregate productivity, namely, its long-run level, volatility and skewness.(c) 2022 Published by Elsevier B.V.
