Following a contractionary financial shock, financially constrained firms cut investment, but unconstrained firms increase investment due to the lower capital price and interest rate. After matching the empirical dynamics of prices and the price elasticity of investment, I find a limited role of the unconstrained firms’ response in dampening the aggregate investment decline. Nonfinancial capital adjustment friction is the key to generating this result. Without the capital adjustment friction, unconstrained firms’ investment becomes unrealistically sensitive to prices, and the model would understate the financial shocks’ aggregate relevance.

The cyclical response of effort to wage changes can considerably amplify shocks, independently of the cyclicality of the hiring wage, which becomes irrelevant for unemployment volatility, and firms’ expectations of downward wage rigidity in existing jobs increases the volatility of job creation. The model is consistent with evidence on hiring and incumbents’ wage cyclicality, and provides novel predictions on the dynamics of effort.

In response, firms raise prices by 3–5 percent. This effect is decreasing in the elasticity of firms’ demand but positive for most industrial production.
