Dickinson, David L.; Chaudhuri, Ananish; … - 2017

Traders in global markets operate at different local times-of-day. Suboptimal times-of-day may produce sleepiness due to daily variations in sleep/wake patterns and possibly also increased accumulation of hours awake. Global asset markets imply significantly increased heterogeneity in circadian...

Financial markets, banks' cost of funding, and firms' decisions : lessons from two crises

We exploit two shocks to Italian bank CDS spreads and equity valuations: the 2007-2009 financial crisis and the 2010-2012 sovereign debt crisis. Using newly available data linking over...

Butler, David J.; Cheung, Stephen L. - 2018

Asset market bubbles and crashes are a major source of economic instability and inefficiency. Sometimes ascribed to animal spirits or irrational exuberance, their source remains imperfectly understood. Experimental methods can isolate systematic deviations from an asset's fundamental value in a...

Ascari, Guido (contributor); Merkl, Christian (contributor) - 2007

This paper analyzes the cost of disinflations under real wage rigidities in a micro-founded New Keynesian model. The consensus is that real wage rigidities can be a useful mechanism to induce the inflation persistence that is absent in the standard Calvo model. Real wage rigidities thus generate...

Interest rate hysteresis in macroeconomic investment under uncertainty

Belke, Ansgar; Göcke, Matthias - 2019

The interest rate is generally considered as an important driver of macroeconomic investment. As an innovation, this paper derives the exact shape of the "hysteretic" impact of changes in the interest rate on macroeconomic investment under the scenarios of both certainty and uncertainty. We...

Labor market policy evaluation in equilibrium : some lessons of the job search and matching model

Cahuc, Pierre (contributor); … - 2008

We analyze the consequences of counseling provided to job seekers in a standard job search and matching model. It turns out that neglecting equilibrium effects induced by counseling can lead to wrong conclusions. In particular, counseling can increase steady state unemployment although counseled...

The closer to zero this parameter, (i) the more firms adjust on the intensive margin, reducing employment volatility, (ii … the new entrants wage rigidity required to match observed unemployment volatility. -- DSGE ; search and matching ; nominal …

Hyperbolic discounting and the Phillips curve

Graham, Liam (contributor); Snower, Dennis J. (contributor) - 2008

Using a standard dynamic general equilibrium model, we show that the interaction of staggered nominal contracts with hyperbolic discounting leads to inflation having significant long-run effects on real variables. -- Inflation ; unemployment ; Phillips curve ; nominal inertia ; monetary policy ;...

Trade and migration with renewable natural resources : out-of-steady-state dynamics

López, Ramón; Schiff, Maurice W. - 2010

Commodity price increases associated with the entry of China, India and other countries into the world economy has led to increased pressure on common-property renewable natural resources (NR). The problem is particularly worrisome for economies that obtain a large share of their income from the...

Optimal fiscal devaluation

Langot, François; Patureau, Lise; Sopraseuth, Thepthida - 2012

We study fiscal devaluation in a small-open economy with labor market search frictions. Our analysis shows the key role of both dimensions in shaping the optimal tax scheme. By reducing labor market distortions, the tax reform is welfare-improving. Yet, as it makes imports more expensive, fiscal...
