Switching-track after the great recession

Vinci, Francesca; Licandro, Omar - 2021

We propose a theoretical framework to reconcile episodes of V-shaped and L-shaped recovery, encompassing the behaviour of the U.S. economy before and after the Great Recession. In a DSGE model with endogenous growth, negative demand shocks destroy productive capacity, moving GDP to a lower...

Monetary policy and asset price overshooting: a rationale for the Wall/Main Street disconnect

Caballero, Ricardo J.; Simsek, Alp - 2022

We analyze optimal monetary policy and its implications for asset prices, when aggregate demand has inertia and responds to asset prices with a lag. If there is a negative output gap, the central bank optimally overshoots aggregate asset prices (asset prices are initially pushed above their...

Managing households' expectations with salient economic policies

D'Acunto, Francesco; Hoang, Daniel; Weber, Michael - 2019 - This version: August 2019

The empirical effectiveness of economic policies that operate theoretically through similar channels differs substantially. We document this fact by comparing an easy-to-grasp expectations-based policy, unconventional fiscal policy, with a policy whose implications are harder to understand by...

A note on temporary supply shocks with aggregate demand inertia

Caballero, Ricardo J.; Simsek, Alp - 2022

We study optimal monetary policy during temporary supply contractions when aggregate demand has inertia and expansionary policy is constrained. In this environment, it is optimal to run the economy hot until supply recovers. Positive output gaps in the low-supply phase lessen the negative output...

Unconventional fiscal policy, inflation expectations, and consumption expenditure

D'Acunto, Francesco; Hoang, Daniel; Weber, Michael - 2016

Unconventional fiscal policies incentivize households to accelerate consumption by generating future consumer price ination, and offer an alternative to unconventional monetary policy (Correia et al. (2013)). We use a natural experiment to study the causal effect of unconventional fiscal...

Causal effects of countercyclical interest rates : evidence from the classical gold standard

Mitchener, Kris; Pina, Gonçalo - 2022

We estimate the causal impact of countercyclical interest rates on macroeconomic outcomes in open economies. To identify countercyclical interest rates, we construct a new database of short-term interest rates, principal exports, and international commodity prices for 40 economies from 1870 to...
