In contrast, when the full employment country is sufficiently big, local indeterminacy, and … fluctuations (associated with local indeterminacy and bifurcations) are possible with smaller externalities, whatever the relative …

Cross-country connectedness in inflation and unemployment: measurement and macroeconomic consequences
Binh Thai Pham; Sala, Hector - 2021
We bring the notion of connectedness (Diebold and Yilmaz, 2012) to a set of two critical macroeconomic variables as inflation and unemployment. We focus on the G7 economies plus Spain, and use monthly data –high-frequency data in a macro setting – to explore the extent and consequences of...

Distributional effects of monetary policy in emerging market economies
Prasad, Eswar S.; Zhang, Boyang - 2015
We develop a two-sector, heterogeneous-agent model with incomplete financial markets to study the distributional effects and aggregate welfare implications of alternative monetary policy rules in emerging market economies. Relative to inflation targeting, exchange rate management benefits...

Global macro-financial cycles and spillovers
Ha, Jongrim; Kose, M. Ayhan; Otrok, Christopher M.; … - 2020
We develop a new dynamic factor model that allows us to jointly characterize global macroeconomic and financial cycles and the spillovers between them. The model decomposes macroeconomic cycles into the part driven by global and country-specific macro factors and the part driven by spillovers...

Phillips curves and unemployment dynamics : a critique and a holistic perspective
Karanassou, Marika (contributor); Sala, Hector (contributor) - 2006
"The conventional wisdom that inflation and unemployment are unrelated in the long-run implies that these phenomena can be analysed by separate branches of economics. The macro literature tries to explain inflation dynamics and estimates the NAIRU. The labour macro literature tries to explain...

The pure effect of social preferences on regional location choices : the evolving dynamics of convergence to a steady state population distribution
Stark, Oded; Budziński, Wiktor; Kosiorowski, Grzegorz - 2019
This paper tracks the consequences of individuals' desire to align their location with their social preferences. The social preference studied in the paper is distaste for relative deprivation, measured in a cardinal manner. Location is conceived as social space, with individuals choosing to...

Market distortions and local indeterminacy : a general approach
Lloyd-Braga, Teresa; Modesto, Leonor; Seegmuller, Thomas - 2011
We provide a methodology to study the role of market distortions on the emergence of indeterminacy and bifurcations … classes of distortions responsible for indeterminacy. Our methodology consists in introducing general specifications for the … distortions influence the range of values for the elasticity of inputs substitution under which local indeterminacy and …

A pure theory of population distribution when preferences are ordinal
Stark, Oded; Kosiorowski, Grzegorz - 2023
We model an environment in which individuals prefer to be in a space in which their rank is higher, be it a social space, a geographical space, a work environment, or any other comparison sphere which we refer to in this paper, and without loss of generality, as a region. When the individuals...

Unemployment in the European Union : a dynamic reappraisal
Karanassou, Marika; Sala, Hector; Snower, Dennis J. - 2002
This paper examines the movements in EU unemployment from two perspectives: (a) the NRU/NAIRU perspective, in which unemployment movements are attributed largely to changes in the long-run equilibrium unemployment rate and (b) the chain-reaction perspective, in which unemployment movements are...

Reconciling the divergence in aggregate US wage series
Champagne, Julien; Kurmann, André; Stewart, Jay Charles - 2016
According to data from the Labor Productivity and Costs (LPC) program, average hourly real compensation in the United States has grown consistently over time and become markedly more volatile since the mid-1980s. By contrast, data from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) imply that average...
