3 Introduction What happens to firm and macro level risk in recessions? Uncertainty Shocks Symmetric Risk Dispersion of firm-level outcomes is countercyclical (sales growth, stock returns, TFP, etc.) Second moment shocks generate a recession (Arellano, Bai, and Kehoe (2012); Bloom et al. (2015); Christiano et al. (2014)) Salgado Guvenen Bloom Skewed Business Cycles SED, / 25
4 Introduction What happens to firm and macro level risk in recessions? Uncertainty Shocks Symmetric Risk Dispersion of firm-level outcomes is countercyclical (sales growth, stock returns, TFP, etc.) Second moment shocks generate a recession (Arellano, Bai, and Kehoe (2012); Bloom et al. (2015); Christiano et al. (2014)) Disaster Shocks Macro Tail Risk Small probability of large negative aggregate shock (Rietz (1988); Barro (2006,2009); Barro and Ursua (2008,2009)) Increase in disaster risk generates a decline in output, investment, and employment (Gourio (2012,2014); Gabaix (2012); Killic and Wachter (2015)) Salgado Guvenen Bloom Skewed Business Cycles SED, / 25
5 Introduction Open questions Macro and firm level tail risk? Does the probability of a firm-level disaster increase during recession? Firm-level risk in other countries? Most firm-level analysis for the US economy only Is the countercyclical dispersion a US-only phenomenon or seen more broadly across di erent countries? Salgado Guvenen Bloom Skewed Business Cycles SED, / 25

9 Introduction This paper Firm and macro-level panel data for 30+ countries and 20+ years We study the cyclicality of the distribution of growth rates of firm and macro level outcomes Main Results In recessions, the left tail stretches out while the right tail changes little Skewness is robustly procyclical! Asymmetric Risk Both at the micro (e.g. sales growth) and the macro level (e.g. GDP growth) Within di erent groups of countries, within di erent industries, and firm-size categories.

We impose a skewness shock in period 1, allowing normal evolution of the economy afterward. We plot the cross-economy percentage deviation of each series of this economy with respect to an economy that evolves normally for the entire simulation length.
