Answer to Question 1

Proponents of real business cycle theory tend to emphasize the importance of changing input prices- especially the price of oil. A large increase in the price of oil is likely to decrease the productivity of firms that use oil. Since almost all firms use oil in one form or another - oil products are a key source of energy - changes in the price of oil function like technology changes. As oil price changes can be abrupt, including large increases in the price of oil, this factor does help to explain recessions.
