  • Re-pricing avalanches

    Virtual

    Speaker: Jose A. Scheinkman (Columbia) Title: Re-pricing avalanches Abstract: Monthly aggregate price changes exhibit chronic fluctuations but the aggregate shocks that drive these fluctuations are often elusive.  Macroeconomic models often add stochastic macro-level shocks such as […]
