An important channel for macro uncertainty is the interplay of financial & labor markets.
Uncertainty exerts downward pressure on asset values, discouraging vacancy posting and making it harder for workers to find jobs. Potentially inflationary.

Returned to my alma mater for the weekend. Little has changed since I started my graduate studies in 2016; it's still beautiful in the autumn, my favourite cafe is thriving, and social science students are debating "how the Democrats recover from this"

❓ What is the impact of "short-termism" for firms and the economy?
👉 Terry (2023, @ecmaEditors) argues that even though for *firms*, short-term profit pressures can improve value by restricting R&D, at the *aggregate* level, it tends to lower growth and social welfare.

💡steps toward bridging Keynesian & search perspectives in "A Theory of Non-Coasean Labor Markets" (Blanco, Drenik, Moser, Zaratigui), which can speak to inefficient job separations; those shape the impact of monetary shocks & can be identified using standard microdata.
