The cyclical behavior of productivity has noticeably changed since the mid-80s. We provide VAR evidence that financial shocks have an important effect on productivity. We offer a novel explanation based on the effect of binding collateral constraints on labor demand. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
