Dynamic Employment and Hours Effects of Government Spending Shocks
Yuan, M.; Li, W. - Bank of Canada - 1999
In this paper, we analyze the dynamic behaviour of employment and hours worked per worker in a stochastic general equilibrium model with a matching mechanism between vacancies and unemployed workers. The model is estimated for the United States using the Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM)...

Housework and Fiscal Expansions
Gnocchi, Stefano; Hauser, Daniela; Pappa, Evi - Bank of Canada - 2014
We build an otherwise-standard business cycle model with housework, calibrated consistently with data on time use, in order to discipline consumption-hours complementarity and relate its strength to the size of fiscal multipliers. We show that if substitutability between home and market goods is...

Cheung, Calista; Granovsky, Dmitry; Velasco, Gabriella - Bank of Canada - 2015
This paper discusses broad trends in labour force participation and part-time employment across different age groups since the Great Recession and uses provincial data to identify changes related to population aging, cyclical effects and other factors. The main population age groups examined are...

The Macroeconomic Effects of Non-Zero Trend Inflation
Amano, Robert; Ambler, Steve; Rebei, Nooman - Bank of Canada - 2006
The authors study the macroeconomic effects of non-zero trend inflation in a simple dynamic stochastic general …-equilibrium model with sticky prices. They show that trend inflation leads to a substantial reduction in the stochastic means of output … across firms unambiguously increases the welfare costs of inflation. The effects hold qualitatively no matter how sticky …

Salaire réel, chocs technologiques et fluctuations économiques
Tremblay, Dominique - Bank of Canada - 2002
The author presents empirical evidence that he has obtained from an analysis of the response of different economic variables, including the real wage rate, to a technology shock. He replicates Galí’s (1999) bivariate model and compares dynamic impulse responses and conditional correlations...

Labor Market Participation, Unemployment and Monetary Policy
Campolmi, Alessia; Gnocchi, Stefano - Bank of Canada - 2014
We incorporate a participation decision in a standard New Keynesian model with matching frictions and show that treating the labor force as constant leads to incorrect evaluation of alternative policies. We also show that the presence of a participation margin mitigates the Shimer critique.

Technology Shocks, Labour Mobility and Aggregate Fluctuations
Hauser, Daniela - Bank of Canada - 2014
We provide evidence regarding the dynamic behaviour of net labour flows across U.S. states in response to a positive technology shock. Technology shocks are identified as disturbances that increase relative state productivity in the long run for 226 state pairs, encompassing 80 per cent of...

Intertemporal Substitution in Macroeconomics: Evidence from a Two-Dimensional Labour Supply Model with Money
Dib, Ali; Phaneuf, Louis - Bank of Canada - 2005
The hypothesis of intertemporal substitution in labour supply has a history of empirical failure when confronted with aggregate time-series data. The authors show that a two-dimensional labour supply model, adapted to an environment with money as originally proposed by Lucas and Rapping (1969)...
