More broadly, the framework provides a flexible way to study micro-macro linkages and heterogeneous effects of macro shocks.

We hope it is useful for work on distributional dynamics and heterogeneous-agent macro.

Incorporating Micro Data into Macro Models Using Pseudo VARs

Revisiting the distributional effects of business cycle shocks using US earnings data, we find:

Positive cyclical shocks benefit those in the lower tail most strongly, particularly younger workers, men, and those without a college education.

This lets us study distributional dynamics while still preserving rich micro heterogeneity, rather than collapsing everything into summary statistics or functional approximations.

We develop a new ā€œpseudo-VARā€ framework that brings repeated cross-section micro data directly into a macro VAR.

By constructing pseudo-individuals and modelling them jointly with macro variables, we can trace how shocks transmit across demographic and socioeconomic groups.

Existing approaches can track distributional impacts of macro shocks, showing how inequality or different percentiles respond over time.

But they typically cannot look within the distribution to identify which specific types of individuals are most or least affected.

New research paper!

We often know how macro shocks affect the income distribution. But we usually cannot see who within that distribution gains or loses. In a new @clevelandfed.bsky.social paper with Gary Koop, James Mitchell and Ping Wu, we propose a way to open that black box...

Fascinating new analysis by the ONS on UK #business #dynamism and #productivity. Firms employing a third of workers in the non-financial business economy contributed negatively, and the next third only marginally, to productivity #growth.

ONS has taken a lot of stick recently over problems with core economic statistics, but its response today on the public finance stats - setting out what happened and a path forward - is a frank and useful explainer from the new team that's to be welcomed. blog.ons.gov.uk/2025/10/08/a...
