Understand how labor hoarding and price rigidity drive productivity trends across the business cycle. This book shows how the relationship between costs, capacity, and pricing can change what we measure as productivity, depending on how prices respond to demand.
In clear terms, it compares measures of productivity based on labor costs versus labor revenue, and explains when each measure moves with the cycle. It also discusses how peak-load pricing and quasi-fixed labor affect output, capacity decisions, and the timing of productivity changes. The analysis uses theoretical results and empirical evidence to explore why productivity can appear procyclical or countercyclical under different price settings.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book dissects the debate over procyclical productivity, which refers to the phenomenon of output rising more than labour input over business cycles, causing productivity to increase during economic expansions. The author challenges the prominent view that this is solely due to market power and increasing returns to scale. Instead, they argue that price rigidity and labour hoarding play a more significant role. By examining how procyclical productivity varies across industries and countries, the author finds support for their argument, particularly in industries with higher labour hoarding and in countries like Japan with more rigid labour markets. The book offers a fresh perspective on procyclical productivity, emphasizing the importance of labour hoarding and price rigidity in understanding this economic phenomenon.
