Resumo

I propose a simple method to solve a heterogeneous agent model with entrepreneurship, financial frictions and aggregate uncertainty. Aggregate shocks, in this context, induce potential entrepreneurs to save in order to slack their financial constraints, leading to a significant increase in aggregate savings, pushing up wages and lowering interest rates. This channel can be strong enough to more than offset the effect of fluctuations on consumption, leading to welfare gains of business cycles.
