Abstract: | This paper shows that in several American manufacturing industries, the seasonal; variability of production and inventories varies with the state of the business cycles. The authors present a simple model which implies that if firms reduce the seasonal; variability of their production as the economy strengthens, and they either hold constant or increase the stock of inventories, they bring into the high-production seasons of the year, then they must be facing upward-sloping and convex marginal cost curves. |
