Abstract
We investigate the effects of a United States uncertainty shock on the European Union labor market by proposing a two-country Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model with search and matching frictions and comparing the impulse response functions with data from twelve economies in a Bayesian Global Vector Autoregression (BGVAR) framework. Our results indicate that the Euro response is similar to a negative aggregate demand shock in the first eighteen months. However, afterward, the labor market frictions and trade intensity drive a stagflation process.
