Abstract

This paper investigates the role of activities by Hungarian firms in generating aggregate fluctuations for the time period 2000–2013. The paper decomposes aggregated sales volatility into a macro-sectoral and firm-specific component and finds that shocks to individual firms contribute significantly to aggregate fluctuations. The relative contribution of idiosyncratic shocks to sales volatility at the aggregate level is 55.5 per cent for the whole economy and 56.4 per cent for the manufacturing sector. The main mechanism through which firm fluctuations manifest themselves in aggregate fluctuations is input–output linkages.
