Joined at the Hip : Monetary and Fiscal Policy in a Liquidity-Dependent World
Calvo, Guillermo; Velasco, Andrés - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We study the effects of monetary and fiscal policies when both money and government bonds provide liquidity services … the supply of bonds. Those movements in government bond prices affect available liquidity, and therefore aggregate demand … interest rate on money. We conclude that in a liquidity-dependent world, fiscal and monetary policies are joined at the hip …

Labor-Market Frictions and Employment Fluctuations
Hall, Robert E. - 1998
The labor market occupies center stage in modern theories of fluctuations. The most important phenomenon to explain and understand in a recession is the sharp decline in employment and jump in unemployment. This chapter for the Handbook of Macroeconomics considers explanations based on frictions...

Implications of Labor Market Frictions for Risk Aversion and Risk Premia
Swanson, Eric T. - 2019
A flexible labor margin allows households to absorb shocks to asset values with changes in hours worked as well as changes in consumption. This ability to partially offset wealth shocks by varying hours of work can significantly alter the household's attitudes toward risk, as shown in Swanson...

Aggregate Labor Market Outcomes : The Role of Choice and Chance
Krusell, Per - 2009
Commonly used frictional models of the labor market imply that changes in frictions have large effects on steady state employment and unemployment. We use a model that features both frictions and an operative labor supply margin to examine the robustness of this feature to the inclusion of a...

Aggregate Implications of Indivisible Labor, Incomplete Markets, and Labor Market Frictions
Krusell, Per - 2008
This paper analyzes a model that features frictions, an operative labor supply margin, and incomplete markets. We first provide analytic solutions to a benchmark model that includes indivisible labor and incomplete markets in the absence of trading frictions. We show that the steady state levels...

Rent Rigidity, Asymmetric Information, and Volatility Bounds in Labor Markets
Bruegemann, Bjoern - 2007
Recent findings have revived interest in the link between real wage rigidity and employment fluctuations, in the context of frictional labor markets. The standard search and matching model fails to generate substantial labor market fluctuations if wages are set by Nash bargaining, while it can...

Unions in a Frictional Labor Market
Krusell, Per - 2012
A labor market with search and matching frictions, where wage setting is controlled by a monopoly union that follows a norm of wage solidarity, is found vulnerable to substantial distortions associated with holdup. With full commitment to future wages, the union achieves efficient hiring in the...

Labor Market Dynamics When Ideas are Harder to Find
Bilal, Adrien; Engbom, Niklas; Mongey, Simon; Violante, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
This paper evaluates the impact of slowing economic growth on labor market dynamism and misallocation. It provides a model of endogenous growth via imitation in a frictional labor market. The framework accounts for rich data on worker job-to-job transitions as well as stochastic and lifecycle...

Labor Misallocation Across Firms and Regions
Heise, Sebastian; Porzio, Tommaso - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We develop a frictional labor market model with multiple regions and heterogeneous firms to study how frictions impeding labor mobility across space affect the joint allocation of labor across firms and regions. Bringing the model to matched employer-employee data from Germany, we find that...
