    Analysis of real business cycle models with capital-skill complementarity
    (2009) Kılıç, Sinem
    The aim of this paper is to analyze the effects of a production function with capital-skill complementarity, as opposed to the standard Cobb-Douglas production function, on Real Business Cycle [RBC] models. Capital-skill complementarity is mostly used in open economy models to study the wage inequality but this production function has not been employed in closed economy real business cycle models. This paper shows that the production function with capital-skill complementarity causes even lower endogenous propagation of the impulse response functions than those of standard closed economy RBC models, which already have problems with regards to the persistence of output.

    A supply side limited participation model of monetary transmission mechanism
    (2001) Karaca, Zeynal
    This thesis is a theoretical investigation of how money growth affects output, employment, consumption and real wages from a supply side channel. We analyze the effects of monetary shocks under deterministic and stochastic environments in a limited participation model with competitive and sticky wages. We find that anticipated money growth decreases output, employment, consumption, working capital and real wages, but increases profitability of the firms. Unanticipated money growth under sticky wages increases employment, output and consumption, decreases price and profits. The main contribution of this thesis to the literature is that when sticky nominal wages are included in a limited participation model with inelastic labor supply stylized business cycle facts can be obtained
