Convex supply curves
Boehm, Christoph E.; Pandalai-Nayar, Nitya - 2020
We provide evidence that industries' supply curves are convex. To guide our empirical analysis, we develop a model, in which capacity constraints at the plant level generate convex supply curves at the industry level. The industry's capacity utilization rate is a sufficient statistic for the...

Expectations-driven liquidity traps : implications for monetary and fiscal policy
Nakata, Taisuke; Schmidt, Sebastian - 2019
We study optimal monetary and fiscal policy in a New Keynesian model where occasional declines in agents' confidence can give rise to persistent liquidity trap episodes. Unlike in the case of fundamental-driven liquidity traps, there is no straightforward recipe for mitigating the welfare costs...

Battistini, Niccolò; Callegari, Giovanni; Zavalloni, Luca - 2019
This paper analyzes the impact of monetary policy on public debt sustainability through the lens of a general equilibrium model with fiscal limits. We find that the mere possibility of a binding ZLB may have detrimental effects on debt sustainability, as a kink in the Laffer curve induces a...

Afonso, António; Baxa, Jaromír; Slavík, Michal - 2011
We use a threshold VAR analysis to study whether the effects of fiscal policy on economic activity differ depending on financial market conditions. In particular, we investigate the possibility of a non-linear propagation of fiscal developments according to different financial market stress...
