Credit, Money, and Aggregate Demand
Bernanke, Ben; Blinder, Alan S. - 2021
Standard models of aggregate demand treat money and credit asymmetrically; money is given a special status, while loans, bonds, and other debt instruments are lumped together in a "bond market" and suppressed by Walras' Law. This makes bank liabilities central to the monetary transmission...

The Need for International Policy Coordination : What'S Old, What'S New, What'S Yet to Come?
Canzoneri, Matthew B.; Cumby, Robert E.; Diba, Behzad - 2021
Fifty years ago, the Chicago School argued that flexible exchange rates would insulate employment from foreign economic disturbances: there is no need for policy coordination; flexible exchange rates suffice. Twenty five years later, the Bretton Woods system was gone, and the first generation of...

Self-Fulfilling Expectations and Fluctuations in Aggregate Demand
Woodford, Michael - 2010
The paper presents an intertemporal general equilibrium model with rationing in the product market, in which stationary sunspot equilibria are shown to exist, indicating the possibility of fluctuations in economic activity simply due to self-fulfilling variations in economic agents'...

An Exploration of Optimal Stabilization Policy
Mankiw, N. Gregory - 2011
This paper examines the optimal response of monetary and fiscal policy to a decline in aggregate demand. The theoretical framework is a two-period general equilibrium model in which prices are sticky in the short run and flexible in the long run. Policy is evaluated by how well it raises the...

Sentiments and Aggregate Demand Fluctuations
Benhabib, Jess - 2012
We formalize the Keynesian insight that aggregate demand driven by sentiments can generate output fluctuations under rational expectations. When production decisions must be made under imperfect information about demand, optimal decisions based on sentiments can generate stochastic...

The Anatomy of Sentiment-Driven Fluctuations
Acharya, Sushant - 2017
We show that sentiments - self-fulfilling changes in beliefs that are orthogonal to fundamentals - can drive persistent aggregate fluctuations under rational expectations. Such fluctuations can occur even in the absence of any exogenous aggregate fundamental shocks. In addition, sentiments also...

A Risk-Centric Model of Demand Recessions and Speculation
Caballero, Ricardo J. - 2017
We provide a continuous-time “risk-centric” representation of the New Keynesian model, which we use to analyze the interactions between asset prices, financial speculation, and macro- economic outcomes when output is determined by aggregate demand. In principle, interest rate policy is...

A Theory of Housing Demand Shocks
Liu, Zheng - 2019
Aggregate housing demand shocks are an important source of house price fluctuations in the standard macroeconomic models, and through the collateral channel, they drive macroeconomic fluctuations. These reduced-form shocks, however, fail to generate a highly volatile price-to-rent ratio that...

Aggregate Demand and Supply
Farmer, Roger E. A. - 2010
This paper is part of a broader project that provides a microfoundation to the General Theory of J.M. Keynes. I call … this project 'old Keynesian economics' to distinguish it from new-Keynesian economics, a theory that is based on the idea … definitions of aggregate demand and supply found in the General Theory through the lens of a search theory of the labor market. I …
