Credit Spreads and Credit Policies

Correia, Isabel; De Fiore, Fiorella; Teles, Pedro; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2014

How should monetary and fiscal policy react to adverse financial shocks? If monetary policy is constrained by the zero lower bound on the nominal interest rate, subsidising the interest rate on loans is the optimal policy. The subsidies can mimic movements in the interest rate and can therefore...

Monetary Misconceptions: New and Old Paradigmata and Other Sad Tales

Buiter, Willem H. - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2000

The Timing of Monetary Policy Shocks

Olivei, Giovanni; Tenreyro, Silvana - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2006

Asset Market Participation, Monetary Policy Rules and the Great Inflation

Bilbiie, Florin Ovidiu; Straub, Roland - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011

This paper argues that limited asset market participation is crucial in explaining U.S. macroeconomic performance and monetary policy before the 1980s, and their changes thereafter. We develop an otherwise standard sticky-price DSGE model, whereby at low enough asset market participation,...

On Keeping Your Powder Dry: Fiscal Foundations of Financial and Price Stability

Obstfeld, Maurice - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

Banking systems have rapidly grown to a point where for many countries bank assets amount to multiples of GDP. As a consequence, government’s capacity to provide stability-enhancing fiscal guarantees against systemic crises can no longer be taken for granted. As regulation of dynamic financial...
