Optimal Monetary and Fiscal Policy in an Economy with Endogenous Public Debt
Luk, Paul; Vines, David - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015
This paper uses a New Keynesian framework to study the coordination of fiscal and monetary policies, in response to an inflation shock when the policymaker acts with commitment. We first show that, in the simplest New Keynesian model, fiscal policy plays no part in the optimal policy response,...

Optimal Monetary and Fiscal Policy in an Economy with Inflation Persistence
Luk, Paul; Vines, David - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015
This paper studies a simple New-Keynesian model of fiscal and monetary policy coordination when the policymaker acts under commitment. With a New Keynesian Phillips curve it is optimal to control inflation only through the use of monetary policy. But, when price-setters use a Steinsson (2003)...

Trust in the Monetary Authority
Bursian, Dirk; Faia, Ester - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015
Trust in policy makers fluctuates significantly over the cycle and affects the transmission mechanism. Despite this it is absent from the literature. We build a monetary model embedding trust cycles; the latter emerge as an equilibrium phenomenon of a game-theoretic interaction between atomistic...

Alvarez, Fernando; Lippi, Francesco - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011
We present a monetary model in the presence of segmented asset markets that im- plies a persistent fall in interest rates after a once and for all increase in liquidity. The gradual propagation mechanism produced by our model is novel in the literature. We provide an analytical characterization...

Central Banks and the Financial System
Giavazzi, Francesco; Giovannini, Alberto - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010

Canova, Fabio; Pappa, Evi - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005
We study whether and how fiscal restrictions alter the business cycle features macrovariables for a sample of 48 US states. We also examine the 'typical' transmission properties of fiscal disturbances and the implied fiscal rules of states with different fiscal restrictions. Fiscal constraints...
