In this environment, the short-run fiscal … multiplier is amplified by the countercyclical liquidity premium. This liquidity channel stabilizes investment and crowds in …

We analyse the feedback … between lender of last resort policy and incentives of private banks, determining the aggregate amount of liquidity available …
