What Explains the Lagged Investment Effect?
Eberly, Janice; Rebelo, Sérgio; Vincent, Nicolas - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011
The best predictor of current investment at the firm level is lagged investment. This lagged-investment effect is empirically more important than the cash-flow and Q effects combined. We show that the specification of investment adjustment costs proposed by Christiano, Eichenbaum and Evans...

Stock Market Returns, Corporate Governance and Capital Market Equilibrium
Parigi, Bruno; Pelizzon, Loriana; von Thadden, Ernst-Ludwig - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015

The paper considers three methods for eliminating the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates and thus for restoring symmetry to domain over which the central bank can vary its policy rate. They are: (1) abolishing currency (which would also be a useful crime-fighting measure); (2) paying...

A global monetary tsunami? On the spillovers of US Quantitative Easing
Fratzscher, Marcel; Lo Duca, Marco; Straub, Roland - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012
The paper analyses the global spillovers of the Federal Reserve’s unconventional monetary policy measures since 2007. First, we find that Fed measures in the early phase of the crisis (QE1), but not since 2010 (QE2), were highly effective in lowering sovereign yields and raising equity markets...

Laeven, Luc; Tong, Hui - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010
This paper studies how U.S. monetary policy affects global stock prices. We find that global stock prices respond strongly to changes in U.S. interest rate policy, with stock prices increasing (decreasing) following unexpected monetary loosening (tightening). This impact is more pronounced for...

Sponsored Enterprises (such as Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac) in the mortgage market. In order to do so we construct a model with … heterogeneous, infinitely lived households and competitive housing and mortgage markets.
