Do Financial Market Imperfections Affect the Cyclicality of Employment?

No 02-10, Discussion Papers from University of Copenhagen. Department of Economics

Abstract: In this paper I show that the idea that firms faced with a liquidity constraint display "excess sensitivity" of employment to shocks is not correct. The employment decision is independent of the financing constraint and artificial data shows that there is no such excess sensitivity.
