Money and capital: a quantitative analysis

Aruoba, S. Boragan; Waller, Christopher J.; Wright, Randall - Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis - 2009

We study the effects of money (anticipated inflation) on capital formation. Previous papers on this topic adopt reduced …-form approaches, putting money in the utility function or imposing cash in advance, but use otherwise frictionless models. We follow a … literature that is more explicit about the frictions making money essential. This introduces several new elements, including a …

The authors sketch a framework for monitoring macroeconomic activity in real-time and push it in new directions. In particular, they focus not only on real activity, which has received most attention to date, but also on inflation and its interaction with real activity. As for the recent...

When do stock market booms occur? the macroeconomic and policy environments of 20th century booms

Bordo, Michael D.; Wheelock, David C. - Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis - 2006

This paper studies the macroeconomic conditions and policy environments under which stock market booms occurred among ten developed countries during the 20th Century. We find that booms tended to occur during periods of above-average growth of real output, and below-average and falling...

Inflation, monetary policy and stock market conditions: quantitative evidence from a hybrid latent-variable VAR

This paper examines the association between inflation, monetary policy and U.S. stock market conditions during the second half of the 20th century. We use a latent-variable VAR to estimate the impact of inflation and other macroeconomic shocks on a latent index of stock market conditions. Our...

Bordo, Michael D.; Dittmar, Robert; Gavin, William T. - Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis - 2006

The classical gold standard has long been associated with long-run price stability. But short-run price variability led critics of the gold standard to propose reforms that look much like modern versions of price-path targeting. This paper uses a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model to...
