Up to now there was a general conviction that increasing unemployment and inflation have a negative impact on the … the Schröder government. While the results for the former show the known pattern, neither unemployment nor inflation is … significant in the equations of the Schröder government, the latter has even the wrong sign.

In this model three different types of unemployment arise: search, rest and … reallocation unemployment. We document new evidence on unemployed workers’ gross occupational mobility and use it to calibrate the …

We present an overview of models of long-term self-enforcing labor contracts in which risk sharing is the dominant motive for contractual solutions. A base model is developed which is sufficiently general to encompass the two-agent problem central to most of the literature, including variable...

This paper surveys recent advances in the monetary transmission mechanism (MTM). In particular, while laying out the functioning of the separate channels in the MTM, special attention is paid to exploring possible interrelations between different channels through which they may amplify or...

We analyze the role of forward-looking indicators, like the IFO business climate indicator and asset prices, in German monetary transmission. We show that the use of both the IFO indicator and asset prices improves the performance and interpretation of a Vector AutoRegression (VAR) model of...
