To offset furlough‐induced income reductions, individuals significantly reduce consumption and spend savings. Relative to unem…

An important disconnect in the news view of fluctuations is the lack of consistent evidence suggestive of significant macroeconomic effects of news shocks.

This disconnect can be resolved once we augment a DSGE model with a financial channel that provides amplification to news shocks. Our results suggest that news shocks to the …
