WORKING PAPERS
Medium-term Business Cycles and Labor Market Search (Job market paper)
Working paper: April 2022
Pavel Ševčík and Jean-Paul K. Tsasa
We study the role of interactions between labor market frictions and the determinants of growth for explaining the medium-term labor market dynamics.
The Medium-Term Cyclical Behavior of Equilibrium Unemployment and Vacancies.
Working paper: April 2022
Jean-Paul K. Tsasa
I put the textbook Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides (DMP) model to the twin test of generating the observed business cycle and medium-term fluctuations in labor market variables in response to a productivity shock of plausible magnitude.
The Real Effects of Uncertainty Shocks: New Evidence from Linear and Nonlinear SVAR Models
Working paper: July 2021. Submitted. (IDEAS link)
Josue Diwambuena and Jean-Paul K. Tsasa
We investigate the macroeconomic effects of uncertainty shocks for a developing country using both linear and nonlinear structural vector autoregressive (SVAR).
WORK IN PROGRESS
The Augmented Fundamental Surplus
Last draft: April 2024.
Jean-Paul K. Tsasa
I examine the business cycle mechanics of fundamental surplus in a class of large-scale New Keynesian (NK) DSGE models with search-and-matching frictions.
Labor Market Dynamics and R&D-Based Growth
First draft: April 2022.
Pavel Ševčík and Jean-Paul K. Tsasa
We study the implications of R&D-based economic growth (knowledge-driven R&D vs lab equipment technology) for labor market dynamics.
Empirical Investigation into Economic Growth Episodes and Institutional Clusters in development countries
First draft: January 2022. (AEA Annual Meeting, 2022).
Jean-Claude Maswana, Ben Onyumbe and Jean-Paul K. Tsasa
We attempt to re-evaluate the relationship between economic growth episodes and clusters of institutions using a modified endogenous growth framework and a panel data of 42 African countries covering the period 2005 to 2019 within the System-GMM approach.
