The Propagation of Monetary Policy Shocks in a Heterogeneous Production Economy
Pasten, Ernesto - 2019
We study the transmission of monetary policy shocks in a model in which realistic heterogeneity in price rigidity interacts with heterogeneity in sectoral size and input-output linkages, and derive conditions under which these heterogeneities generate large real effects. Empirically,...

Optimal Policy Under Dollar Pricing
Egorov, Konstantin - 2020
Recent empirical evidence shows that most international prices are sticky in dollars. This paper studies the optimal policy implications of this fact in the context of an open economy model, allowing for an arbitrary structure of asset markets, general preferences and technologies, time-or...

Robustly Optimal Monetary Policy in a New Keynesian Model with Housing
Adam, Klaus - 2020
We analytically characterize optimal monetary policy for an augmented New Keynesian model with a housing sector. With rational private sector expectations about housing prices and inflation, optimal monetary policy can be characterized by a standard 'target criterion' that refers to inflation...

Monetary Policy, Price Setting, and Credit Constraints
Balleer, Almut - 2019
We estimate the effects of monetary policy on price-setting behavior in administrative micro data underlying the German producer price index. We find a strong degree of monetary non-neutrality. After expansionary monetary policy, the mass of additional price adjustments is economically small and...

Real and Nominal Effects of Monetary Shocks Under Time-Varying Disagreement
Esady, Vania - 2019
This paper investigates the heterogeneity of monetary policy transmission under time-varying disagreement regimes using a threshold VAR. Empirically, I establish that during times of high disagreement, prices respond more sluggishly in response to monetary shocks. These stickier prices cause a...

(Almost) Recursive Identification of Monetary Policy Shocks with Economic Parameter Restrictions
Burgard, Jan Pablo; Neuenkirch, Matthias; Umlandt, Dennis - 2023

To overcome this problem, we propose to estimate the VAR parameters under the … restriction that economic theory is not violated, while the shocks are still recursively identified. We solve this optimization …, generates theory-consistent impulse responses, and is as close as possible to the recursive scheme …

On identification of Bayesian DSGE models
Koop, Gary; Pesaran, Mohammad Hashem; Smith, Ron P. - 2011
In recent years there has been increasing concern about the identification of parameters in dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models. Given the structure of DSGE models it may be difficult to determine whether a parameter is identified. For the researcher using Bayesian methods, a...

Productivity Shocks and Aggregate Fluctuations in an Estimated Endogenous Growth Model with Human Capital
Malley, Jim - 2011
Employing an endogenous growth model with human capital, this paper explores how productivity shocks in the goods and human capital producing sectors contribute to explaining aggregate fluctuations in output, consumption, investment and hours. Given the importance of accounting for both the...

Big G
Cox, Lydia - 2020
"Big G" typically refers to aggregate government spending on a homogeneous good. In this paper, we open up this construct by analyzing the entire universe of procurement contracts of the US government and establish five facts. First, government spending is granular, that is, it is concentrated...
