Abstract
Post-war US data show that consumption growth Granger causes output and investment growth. This is puzzling if technology is the driving force of the business cycle. I ask whether general equilibrium models with information frictions and non-technology shocks can rationalize the observed causal relations. My conclusion is they cannot.
