The top left panel plots the low-frequency components of both log consumption growth (dashed line, scale on left<br />

axis) <strong>and</strong> log inflation (solid line, scale on right axis) from the data. The bottom left panel plots the low-frequency<br />

components of both log R&D stock growth (dashed line, scale on left axis) <strong>and</strong> log inflation (solid line, scale on right<br />

axis) from the data. The top left panel plots the low-frequency components of both log consumption growth (dashed<br />

line, scale on left axis) <strong>and</strong> log inflation (solid line, scale on right axis) from the benchmark model. The bottom left<br />

panel plots the low-frequency components of both log R&D stock growth (dashed line, scale on left axis) <strong>and</strong> log<br />

inflation (solid line, scale on right axis) from the benchmark model. The low-frequency component is obtained using<br />

the b<strong>and</strong>pass filter from Christiano <strong>and</strong> Fitzgerald (2003) <strong>and</strong> selecting a b<strong>and</strong>width of 32 to 200 quarters. Macro<br />

data are from the BEA <strong>and</strong> BLS. <strong>Inflation</strong> data are from CRSP.<br />
