A Note on Temporary Supply Shocks with Aggregate Demand Inertia
Caballero, Ricardo J.; Simsek, Alp - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We study optimal monetary policy during temporary supply contractions when aggregate demand has inertia and expansionary policy is constrained. In this environment, it is optimal to run the economy hot until supply recovers. Positive output gaps in the low-supply phase lessen the negative output...

Open-Economy Inflation Targeting
Svensson, Lars E. O. - 2000
The paper extends previous analysis of closed-economy inflation targeting to a small open economy with forward-looking aggregate supply and demand with some microfoundations, and with stylized realistic lags in the different transmission channels for monetary policy. The paper compares targeting...

Aggregate Demand and Supply
Farmer, Roger E. A. - 2007
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 that to make sense of Keynes we must assume that prices...

An Aggregate Demand - Aggregate Supply Analysis of Japanese Monetary Policy, 1973-1990
West, Kenneth D. - 1991
An aggregate demand - aggregate supply framework is used to analyze the effects of Japanese monetary policy, 1973:1-1990:8. It is found that money supply shocks contribute relatively little to output variability over the sample as a whole. Nor do these shocks seem to be particularly marked...

The Anatomy of Sentiment-Driven Fluctuations
Acharya, Sushant - 2017
We characterize the entire set of linear equilibria of beauty contest games under general information structures. In particular, we focus on equilibria in which sentiments, that is self-fulfilling changes in beliefs that are orthogonal to fundamentals and exogenous noise, can drive aggregate...

Uncertainty and Sentiment-Driven Equilibria
Benhabib, Jess - 2013
We construct a model to capture the Keynesian idea that production and employment decisions are based on expectations of aggregate demand driven by sentiments, and that realized demand follows from the production and employment decisions of firms. We cast the Keynesian idea into a simple model...

Supply Shocks in Macroeconomics
Shapiro, Matthew D. - 1987
Supply shocks played an important role in macroeconomic fluctuations during the 1970's. Supply shocks are also increasingly important in Keynesian and neo-classical models of the business cycle. This paper is a short survey of these theoretical models. It also discusses the history of supply...

Imperfect Information and Aggregate Supply
Mankiw, N. Gregory - 2010
This paper surveys the research in the past decade on imperfect information models of aggregate supply and the Phillips curve. This new work has emphasized that information is dispersed and disseminates slowly across a population of agents who strategically interact in their use of information....
