Market-Based Monetary Policy Uncertainty
Bauer, Michael - 2019
This paper investigates the role of monetary policy uncertainty for the transmission of FOMC actions to financial … markets using a novel model-free measure of uncertainty based on derivative prices. We document a systematic pattern in … monetary policy uncertainty over the course of the FOMC meeting cycle: On FOMC announcement days uncertainty tends to decline …

Q-Targeting in New Keynesian Models
Heer, Burkhard; Maussner, Alfred; Ruf, Halvor - 2016
We consider optimal monetary policy in a model that integrates credit frictions in the standard New Keynesian model with sticky prices and wages as well as adjustment costs of capital. Different from traditional models with credit frictions such as Carlstrom and Fuerst (1998), the model is able...

Inclusive Monetary Policy: How Tight Labor Markets Facilitate Broad-Based Employment Growth
Bergman, Nittai K.; Matsa, David; Weber, Michael; … - 2022
This paper analyzes the heterogeneous effects of monetary policy on workers with differing levels of labor force attachment. Exploiting variation in labor market tightness across metropolitan areas, we show that the employment of populations with lower labor force attachment—Blacks, high...

Firm Heterogeneity, Capital Misallocation and Optimal Monetary Policy
González, Beatriz; Nuño, Galo; Thaler, Dominik; … - 2021
We analyze monetary policy in a New Keynesian model with heterogeneous firms and financial frictions. Firms differ in their productivity and net worth and face collateral constraints that cause capital misallocation. TFP endogenously depends on the time-varying distribution of firms. Although a...

Inequality and the Zero Lower Bound
Fernández-Villaverde, Jesús; Marbet, Joël; Nuño, Galo; … - 2023
This paper studies how household inequality shapes the effects of the zero lower bound (ZLB) on nominal interest rates on aggregate dynamics. To do so, we consider a heterogeneous agent New Keynesian (HANK) model with an occasionally binding ZLB and solve for its fully nonlinear stochastic...

Monetary Policy Interactions: The Policy Rate, Asset Purchases, and Optimal Policy with an Interest Rate Peg
Gödl-Hanisch, Isabel; Mau, Ronald; Rawls, Jonathan - 2023
We study monetary policy in a New Keynesian model with a variable credit spread and scope for central bank asset purchases to matter. A novel financial and labor market interaction generates an endogenous cost-push channel in the Phillips curve and a credit wedge in the IS curve. The "divine...

Micro Jumps, Macro Humps : Monetary Policy and Business Cycles in an Estimated Hank Model
Auclert, Adrien - 2020
We estimate a Heterogeneous-Agent New Keynesian model with sticky household expectations that matches existing microeconomic evidence on marginal propensities to consume and macroeconomic evidence on the impulse response to a monetary policy shock. Our estimated model uncovers a central role for...
