摘要

本文表明，劳动力市场衰退的不平等发生率放大了总体冲击。使用来自美国的行政数据，我记录了工人的边际消费倾向(MPCs)和他们的收入对GDP的弹性之间的正协方差，这是一类新的异质代理模型的关键时刻。我将匹配乘数定义为高MPC工人与周期性更强的工作相匹配所产生的乘数增加。我表明，这种协方差大到足以使总MPC比同等暴露基准增加20%。(凝胶e21, e23, e24, e32)

The Matching Multiplier and the Amplification of Recessions

This paper shows that the unequal incidence of recessions in the labor market amplifies aggregate shocks. Using administrative data from the United States, I document a positive covariance between workers' marginal propensities to consume (MPCs) and their elasticities of earnings to GDP, which is a key moment for a new class of heterogeneous-agent models. I define the matching multiplier as the increase in the multiplier stemming from this matching of high MPC workers to more cyclical jobs. I show that this covariance is large enough to increase the aggregate MPC by 20 percent over an equal exposure benchmark. (JEL E21, E23, E24, E32)
