Inflation and Output Dynamics in a Model with Labor Market Search and Capital Accumulation
Heer, Burkhard; Maussner, Alfred - 2021
In a sticky-price model with labor market search and habit persistence, Walsh (2005) shows that inertia in the interest rate policy helps to reconcile the inflation and output persistence with empirical observations for the US economy. We show that this finding is sensitive with regard to the...

Indebted Demand
Mian, Atif; Straub, Ludwig; Sufi, Amir - 2020
We propose a theory of indebted demand, capturing the idea that large debt burdens by households and governments lower aggregate demand, and thus natural interest rates. At the core of the theory is the simple yet under-appreciated observation that borrowers and savers differ in their marginal...

A Note on Temporary Supply Shocks with Aggregate Demand Inertia
Caballero, Ricardo J.; Simsek, Alp - 2022
We study optimal monetary policy during temporary supply contractions when aggregate demand has inertia and expansionary policy is constrained. In this environment, it is optimal to run the economy hot until supply recovers. Positive output gaps in the low-supply phase lessen the negative output...

Monetary Policy and Asset Price Overshooting: A Rationale for the Wall/Main Street Disconnect
Caballero, Ricardo J.; Simsek, Alp - 2022
We analyze optimal monetary policy and its implications for asset prices, when aggregate demand has inertia and responds to asset prices with a lag. If there is a negative output gap, the central bank optimally overshoots aggregate asset prices (asset prices are initially pushed above their...
