settlement risk in RTGS comes with excessive demands for liquidity on banks. This could lead them to adopt various delaying … tactics to minimise liquidity needs with free-riding and other ‘bad’ equilibria as potential outcomes. The introduction of … hybrid systems with real-time netting is viewed as a means by which liquidity costs can be reduced while settlement risk is …

I present a fully-rational symmetric-information model of an IPO, as well as a dynamic imperfectly competitive model of the aftermarket trading that follows. The model helps explain why IPO share allocations favor large institutional investors. It also helps to explain IPO underpricing, and...

This paper aims at contributing to the research agenda on the sources of price stickiness, showing that the adoption of nominal price rigidity may be an optimal firms' reaction to the consumers' behavior, even if firms have no adjustment costs. With regular broadly accepted assumptions on...

Existing search-theoretical model of money have in general abstracted from the existence and accumulation of other assets, in particular, capital. In this paper we present a model where the optimal portfolio allocation decision of agents is explicitly modeled. Trade frictions in a decentralized...

We examine optimal and other monetary policies in a linear-quadratic setup with relatively general forms of model uncertainty. The forms of uncertainty our framework encompasses include: simple i.i.d. model deviations; serially correlated model deviations; estimable regime-switching models; more...

This paper estimates a sticky-price DSGE model with a financial accelerator to assess the importance of financial frictions in the amplification and propagation of the effects of transitory shocks. Structural parameters of two models, one with and one without a financial accelerator, are...

Under the assumption of bounded rationality, economic agents learn from their past mistaken predictions by combining new and old information to form new beliefs. The purpose of this paper is to examine how the policy-maker, by affecting private agents' learning process, determines the speed at...
