1 The Propagation of Monetary Policy Shocks in a Heterogeneous Production Economy E. Pasten 1 R. Schoenle 2 M. Weber 3 1 Banco Central de Chile and Toulouse University 2 Brandeis University 3 Chicago Booth Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Inflation Conference September 29, 2016
2 Introduction MOTIVATION Fact 1: Sectors are heterogeneous in their input-output linkages with other sectors.
3 Number of sectors The Propagation of Monetary Policy Shocks in a Heterogeneous Production Economy Introduction MOTIVATION Fact 2: Sectors are heterogeneous in their frequency of price changes, which is heavy-tailed Frequency of price change
4 Introduction MOTIVATION Fact 3: Sectors are heterogeneous in their importance for GDP Number of sectors Value Added Weights
5 Introduction Motivation (and literature review) How does the interaction of these three forms of heterogeneity affect the propagation of monetary policy shocks? Big picture: Interaction of heterogeneities with heterogeneous pricing frictions can change identity of sectoral effects on aggregate marginal cost. Companion paper: Propagation of idiosyncratic shocks.
6 Introduction Motivation (and literature review) Which heterogeneity matters the most for real output effects? Price stickiness >> consumption shares >> input-output linkages. Does the choice of granularity matter? N=1? N=350? Most disaggregated calibration yields 34% larger real effects Similar impact response for inflation What is the role of heavy tail in frequency of adjustment? How does monetary policy rule interact with heterogeneities?
7 Introduction Motivation (and literature review) Relevant papers: Monetary policy shocks and production networks: Basu (1995), Clark (1999), Huang and Liu (2002, 2004), Carvalho (2006), Nakamura and Steinsson (2010), Bouakez, Cardia, and Ruge-Murcia (2009, 2013), Carvalho and Lee (2011), Carvalho and Schwartzman (2015). Asymmetry in sector size or input-output structure: Gabaix (2011), Acemoglu et al. (2012). Many others on markups, real rigidities, trade linkages, etc.

14 Model Mechanism: Intuition The effect of monetary policy shocks depends on the properties of marginal cost: Highlight individual feedback mechanisms Analytical expressions from simplified model
15 Model Mechanism: Intuition Defining aggregate price indices: CPI : p c t = sectoral input price index: p k t = K ω ck p kt, k=1 K ω kk p k t k =1 Sectoral participation in total production (note: ψ = Z/Y): ( K ) n k = (1 ψ) ω ck + ψ n k ω k k for all k. k =1 ℵ = (1 ψ) [ I ψω ] 1 Ω c
16 Model Mechanism: Intuition Feedback at the sectoral level: and w kt solves mc kt = (1 δ) w kt + δp k t (labor sup) w kt = ϕl kt + σc t + p c t, (sect prod. fn) y kt = l kt + δ ( w kt p k t ), (sect demand) y kt = y t η [p kt (1 ψ) p c t ψ p t ] where p t = ( K K ) k=1 k =1 n k ω k k p kt.
17 Model Mechanism: Intuition Overall, sectoral prices follow βe t [p kt+1 ] (1 + β) p kt + p kt 1 = κ k (mc kt p kt ) βe t [π kt+1 ] π kt = κ k x kt where κ k (1 α k ) (1 α k β) /α k and x kt = (1 + ϕη) γ 1 (δ) (p c t p kt ) + γ 2 (δ) ( p k t p c t ) + γ3 (δ) ( p t p c t ) + (σ + ϕ) γ 4 (δ) c t Compare to δ = 0 : x δ=0 kt = (1 + ϕη) (p c t p kt ) + (σ + ϕ) c t
18 Model: Predictions Analytical Results Simplified model: utility log in consumption, linear in leisure exogenous nominal demand, one-time permanent shock future fully discounted: p kt = mc kt Intuition carries through in full model, and calibration.
19 Model: Predictions Analytical Results Three propositions on effect of monetary policy: Homogeneous price stickiness Heterogeneous price stickiness but irrelevance of heterogeneity in I/O linkages Heterogeneous price stickiness and no restriction on I/O linkages Two propositions on effect of granularity
20 Model: Predictions Analytical Results: Monetary Policy Shock Assume that α k = α for all k, so κ k = κ for all k (homogeneous stickiness) Unrestricted consumption shares {ω ck }and I/O linkages {ω kk } Proposition Following a permanent monetary shock m at time t, heterogeneity of {ω ck } and {ω kk } is irrelevant for the response of output. The existence of I/O linkages amplifies the response of output. Proof. Follows directly from [ ( ) ] p c α t t +1 t (α) = 1 m for t t (1) 1 δ (1 α)
21 Model: Predictions Analytical Results: Monetary Policy Shock Assume that ω ck = ω kk (no price wedge), otherwise unrestricted. Assume that {α k } are heterogeneous, E[α k ] = α Proposition Following a permanent monetary shock, 1. The sectoral heterogeneity of price stickiness and consumption shares are irrelevant for the response of output to the monetary shock on impact. 2. p c t p c t (α) for t > t. The response of the aggregate consumption prices for t t is weakly decreasing in the dispersion of price stickiness.
22 Model: Predictions Analytical Results: Monetary Policy Shock No restrictions, allowing for ω ck ω kk (price wedge) Proposition 1. The response of p c t is now weaker on impact when u k K k =1 ω ck (1 α k ) ω k k > (1 α) ω ck for the sectors with the most sticky prices. 2. The response of p c t for t > t is now more persistent when for sectors with the most sticky prices either of the following conditions hold: (i) ω k 1 K K k =1 ω k k > ω ck, (ii) u k > (1 α) ω ck, (iii) COV(ω ck α τ k (1 α k ), ω k k) > 0. where first-order and second-order outdegrees are K K u k ω ck (1 α k ) ω k k, v k u k (1 α k ) ω k k. k =1 k =1
23 Model: Predictions Summary of Results: Monetary Policy Shock The real effects of monetary policy shocks are bigger if share of intermediate inputs is high, sticky-price sectors are important suppliers to the rest of the economy, sticky-price sectors are important suppliers to flexible-price sectors, sticky-price sectors are important suppliers to large sectors, sticky-price sectors have large covariance of connectedness with function of customer size and price stickiness.
24 Model: Predictions Analytical Results: Effect of Aggregation What is the effect of sectoral aggregation? Granularity matters for the real effects of monetary policy Convexification of price stickiness Size heterogeneity and I/O linkages can amplify effect
25 Model: Predictions Analytical Results: Effect of Aggregation Theoretical results from comparison of two economies Finely disaggregated economy: K sectors, {αk, ω ck, ω ks } p c t = K k=1 ω ckp kt Coarse, aggregated economy: K/2 sectors, {ᾱ k, ω ck, ω k s } p c t = K/2 k =1 ω ck p k t Sectors randomly combined, with appropriate weights. Two propositions.
26 Model: Predictions Analytical Results: Effect of Aggregation Proposition Given no I/O linkages (δ = 0), the difference of consumption prices K/2 ω ck p c t pc t = is such that k =1 1. p c t = p c t for t = t 2. p c t < p c t for t > t [ λ k α t t +1 2k 1 + (1 λ k ) α t t +1 2k α t t +1 k ] m 3. p c t pc t is increasing in the dispersion of Calvo parameters among merged sectors 4. p c t pc t is increasing in ω ck for merged sectors with the highest dispersion of Calvo parameters
27 Model: Predictions Analytical Results: Effect of Aggregation Proposition When δ (0, 1) and ω sk = ω ck s, k, the amplification effect of monetary non-neutrality introduced by intermediate inputs is stronger in the finely-disaggregated economy relative to the coarsely-disaggregated economy when the dispersion of frequency of price changes is higher among the merged sectors. K/2 p c t p c 1 δ ( t = ω 1 δ (1 α) ck λ k α t t +1 k 2k 1 =1 t t δ K/2 [ ) + λ ω k (1 α 2k 1 1 δ (1 α) ck τ=1 k ( 1 α =1 k + ( ) t t 1 λ +1 k α 2k α t t ) +1 k m α τ 2k 1 + ( ) ( ) 1 λ k 1 α2k α τ 2k ) α τ k ] p c t τ (2)
28 Model: Predictions Analytical Results: Effect of Aggregation Allowing for full, unrestricted heterogeneity such that ω sk ω ck can lead to even larger amplification. How large are these effects? Empirical question.
29 Calibration Calibration Calibration goal: Which type of heterogeneity matters most? 6 cases with incremental degrees of heterogeneity Role of monetary policy? Does the level of aggregation matter? Decrease aggregation from 350 to 8 sectors Value-added sectoral output shares from BEA 2002 I-O tables from BEA to get industry-to-industry linkages Stickiness from BLS PPI micro data What is the role of heavy-tailed price stickiness?

47 Conclusion Conclusion: Convolution of heterogeneity of price stickiness with sector size and intput-output linkages creates rich set of theoretical predictions. Empirically: Heterogeneity of price stickiness most important driver of real effects; lesser role for heterogeneous consumption shares and even less for input-output linkages. More granular calibration yields up to 34% larger real effects but similar impact response for inflation, steep gradient. Results highly sensitive to monetary policy specification. Heavy tails of frequency of price changes affect real effects. Ongoing work: idiosyncratic shocks, oil price shocks, optimal monetary policy.
