Cross-country evidence on the link between volatility and growth

Article Abstract:

Cross-country evidence on the link between volatility and growth is found. For the study, growth and volatility of economic fluctuations in 92 countries and OECD countries are examined. Results show that higher-volatility countries experience lower growth. This negative relationship is further enhanced when the standard control variables are included. In addition, volatility generated by government spending is negatively related to growth even when time-fixed and country-fixed effects have been controlled for.

Automobile companies acted to shift capacity between size segments to increase capacity utilization in the intermediate run, but this produced inferior-quality products in the intermediate run.
