With fixed costs of price and quantity adjustment, output effects of inflation depend on the elasticity of the firm …'s marginal real revenue. If the elasticity always exceeds minus unity, then output decreases with inflation, while if the … elasticity is always less than minus unity, then output increases with inflation. In the special case that the elasticity always …

How do short and long term interest rates respond to a jump in financial uncertainty? We address this question by conducting a local projections analysis with US monthly data, period: 1962-2018. The state-of-the-art financial uncertainty measure proposed by Ludvigson, Ma, and Ng (2019) is found...

This paper studies the challenge that increasing the inflation target poses to equilibrium determinacy in a medium …-sized New Keynesian model without indexation fitted to the Great Moderation era. For moderate targets of the inflation rate …

We estimate a nonlinear VAR to quantify the impact of economic policy uncertainty shocks originating in the US on the Canadian unemployment rate in booms and busts. We find strong evidence in favor of asymmetric spillover effects. Unemployment in Canada is shown to react to uncertainty shocks in...

We model U.S. post-WWII monthly data with a Smooth Transition VAR model and study the effects of an unanticipated increase in economic policy uncertainty on unemployment in recessions and expansions. We find the response of unemployment to be statistically and economically larger in recessions....
