Technology shocks, structural breaks and the effects on the business cycle

Vincenzo Atella, Marco Centoni () and Gianluca Cubadda

CEIS Research Paper from Tor Vergata University, CEIS

Abstract: This paper contributes to the literature on the role of technology shocks as source of the business cycle in two ways. First, we document that time-series of US productivity and hours are apparently affected by a structural break in the late 60’s, which is likely due to a major change in the monetary policy. Second, we show that the importance of demand shocks over the business cycle has sharply increased after the break.
