This paper analyzes the impact of different types of barriers on the decision to invest using a simple framework based on stochastic discount factors. Our intuitive approach proposes an alternative to the real options methodology that does not rely on the “smooth-pasting condition.” An...

This paper addresses the question of the joint conduct of fiscal and monetary policy in a currency union. The problem is studied using a two- country DSGE framework with staggered price setting, monopolistic competition in the goods market, distortionary taxation and nominal debt. The two...

Recently there has been a growing tendency to impose curvature, but not monotonicity, on specifications of technology. But regularity requires satisfaction of both curvature and monotonicity conditions. Without both satisfied, the second order conditions for optimizing behavior fail and duality...
