We use an estimated medium-scale HANK model to investigate how the tradeoff between stabilizing inflation and … demand shocks via their exposure to highly procyclical profits-for them, stabilizing consumption and inflation coincide. The … poor are more vulnerable to supply shocks, hence aggressively stabilizing inflation is costly in terms of their consumption …

This paper compares the properties of interest rate rules such as simple Taylor rules and rules that respond to price-level fluctuations - called Wicksellian rules - in a basic forward-looking model. By introducing appropriate history dependence in policy, Wicksellian rules perform better than...

What role does stock investment play in the transmission of monetary policy to the real economy? We study this question using a New Keynesian model with heterogeneous households. Following a monetary tightening, stock market participants rebalance their investments away from stocks, in line with...

. We find that for all parametrizations with an equilibrium inflation rate of about 2 percent, there is a second … equilibrium with an inflation rate just above 10 percent. Thus, the model can simultaneously account for the low and high … inflation episodes in the United States. We carefully characterize the set of Markov equilibria along the parameter space and …

To study inflation expectations and associated risk premia in emerging bond markets, this paper provides estimates for … prices that are only weakly correlated, the results indicate that long-term inflation expectations in Mexico are well … anchored close to the inflation target of the Bank of Mexico. Furthermore, Mexican inflation risk premia are larger and more …

We propose a new framework for monetary policy analysis to study monetary policy normalization when exiting a liquidity trap. The optimal combination of reserves and interest rate policy requires an increase in liquidity (reserves) a few quarters after the policy rate is set at the effective...
