This paper analyses the endogeneity of euro area total factor productivity and its role in business cycle amplification … by estimating a medium-scale DSGE model with endogenous productivity mechanism on euro area data. In this framework …, total factor productivity evolves endogenously as a consequence of costly investment in R&D and adoption of new technologies …

We examine, conditional on structural shocks, the macroeconomic performance of different countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) rules in small open economy estimated medium scale DSGE. We find that rules based on the credit gap create a trade-off between the stabilization of fluctuations...
