We study credible information transmission by a benevolent Central Bank. We consider two possibilities: direct … revelation through an announcement, versus indirect information transmission through monetary policy. These two ways of … transmitting information have very different consequences. Since the objectives of the Central Bank and those of individual …

Persistence and nominal inertia in a generalized Taylor economy: how longer contracts dominate shorter contracts

Dixon, Huw; Kara, Engin - 2005

In this paper we develop the Generalized Taylor Economy (GTE) in which there are many sectors with overlapping contracts of different lengths. In economies with the same average contract length, monetary shocks will be more persistent when longer contracts are present. We are able to solve the...

Near-rational exuberance

Bullard, James; Evans, George W.; Honkapohja, Seppo - 2005

We study how the use of judgement or “add-factors” in macroeconomic forecasting may disturb the set of equilibrium outcomes when agents learn using recursive methods. We isolate conditions under which new phenomena, which we call exuberance equilibria, can exist in standard macroeconomic...

Understanding inflation persistence: a comparison of different models

Dixon, Huw; Kara, Engin - 2006

This paper adopts the Impulse-Response methodology to understand inflation persistence. It has often been argued that existing models of pricing fail to explain the persistence that we observe. We adopt a common general framework which allows for an explicit modelling of the distribution of...

The distribution of contract durations across firms: a unified framework for understanding and comparing dynamic wage and price setting models

Dixon, Huw - 2006

This paper shows how any steady state distribution of ages and related hazard rates can be represented as a distribution across firms of completed contract lengths. The distribution is consistent with a Generalised Taylor Economy or a Generalised Calvo model with duration dependent reset...

Run-prone banking and asset markets

Hoerova, Marie - 2007

I analyze the role that asset markets play in the performance and stability of the run-prone banking sector. Banks insure consumers against privately observed liquidity shocks. Asset market investments insure consumers against losses from bank runs. If the probability of a run is small, then...

Interbank lending, credit risk premia and collateral

Heider, Florian; Hoerova, Marie - 2009

We study the functioning of secured and unsecured inter-bank markets in the presence of credit risk. The model generates empirical predictions that are in line with developments during the 2007-2009 financial crises. Interest rates decouple across secured and unsecured markets following an...

Distributional dynamics under smoothly state-dependent pricing

Costain, James; Nakov, Anton - 2011

Starting from the assumption that firms are more likely to adjust their prices when doing so is more valuable, this paper analyzes monetary policy shocks in a DSGE model with firm-level heterogeneity. The model is calibrated to retail price microdata, and inflation responses are decomposed into...
