Incomplete unemployment insurance and aggregate fluctuations

Abstract

This paper develops a real business cycle model characterized by a large number of agents facing idiosyncratic employment shocks and borrowing constraints. In particular, I use numerical methods to study the statistical properties of aggregate variables in equilibrium under both complete and incomplete insurance markets. The results show that the model with incomplete markets produces standard deviations and correlations close to the ones observed in the U.S. economy over the post-war period.
