rational private sector expectations about housing prices and inflation, optimal monetary policy can be characterized by a … standard 'target criterion' that refers to inflation and the output gap, without making reference to housing prices. When the … increases (decreases), policy should adopt a stance that is projected to undershoot (overshoot) its normal targets for inflation …

How much does inequality matter for the business cycle and vice versa? Using a Bayesian likelihood approach, we estimate a heterogeneous-agent New-Keynesian (HANK) model with incomplete markets and portfolio choice between liquid and illiquid assets. The model enlarges the set of shocks and...

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...

How should central banks optimally aggregate sectoral inflation rates in the presence of imperfect labor mobility … mobility, ceteris paribus, increases the optimal weight on inflation in a sector that would otherwise receive a lower weight … computing sectoral inflation weights based solely on sector size, and unveil a significant role for the degree of sectoral labor …

In this paper, we revisit the fiscal theory of the price level (FTPL) within the New Keynesian (NK) model. We show in … inflation dynamics. Our results illustrate the role of the maturity of existing debt in the wake of skyrocketing debt … fiscal packages (CARES) and predict a surge in inflation if the deficits are not sufficiently backed by future surpluses …

This paper estimates a New Keynesian model with new and old behavioral elements. Agents in the model exhibit cognitive discounting, or myopia: they discount variables far into the future at higher rates than typically implied in the benchmark model. We investigate the model under different...

We study how domestic and global output gaps affect CPI inflation. We use a New-Keynesian Phillips curve framework …1-2017Q4 period. We find broadly that both global and domestic output gaps are significant drivers of inflation both in … output gaps on inflation …

We derive closed-form solutions and sufficient statistics for inflation and GDP dynamics in multi-sector New Keynesian … of inflation and GDP responses to monetary and sectoral shocks and (2) increase the pass-through of sectoral shocks to … aggregate inflation. Quantitatively, we confirm the significant role of production networks in shock propagation, emphasizing …
