We propose a stochastic Solow growth model where a cyclical component is added to the total factor productivity process. Theoretically, an important feature of the model is that its main equation takes a state space representation where key parameters can be estimated via an unobserved component approach without involving capital stock measures.

Abstract

We propose a stochastic Solow growth model where a cyclical component is added to the total factor productivity process. Theoretically, an important feature of the model is that its main equation takes a state space representation where key parameters can be estimated via an unobserved component approach without involving capital stock measures. In addition, the dynamic properties of the model are mostly unaffected by the newly introduced cyclical component. Empirically, our novel framework is consistent with secular U.S. empirical evidence
