This paper introduces the reader into the apparatus behind the popular New Keynesian Phillips (NKPC) curve. It derives several log-linear versions of this curve and recursive formulations of the Calvo-Yun price staggeringmodel that is behind this curve. These formulations can be used for...

This note extends the finding of Benhabib and Rusticchini (1994) who provide a class of SDGE models, whose solution is characterized by a constant savings rate. We show that this class of models may be interpreted as a standard representative agent SDGE model with costly adjustment of capital...

Many algorithms that provide approximate solutions for dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models employ the generalized Schur factorization since it allows for a flexible formulation of the model and exempts the researcher from identifying equations that give raise to infinite...

Klein (2000) advocates the use of the Schur decomposition of a matrix pencil to solve linear rational expectations (RE) models. Meanwhile his algorithm has become a center piece in several computer codes that provide approximate solutions to (non-linear) dynamic stochastic general equilibrium...

This paper is concerned with the role of firm heterogeneity under credit constraints for economic growth. We focus on firm size, innovativeness and credit constraints in a semi-endogenous growth model reflecting recent empirical findings on firm heterogeneity. It allows for an explicit solution...

Cho, Cooley, and Kim (RED, 2015) (CCK) consider the welfare effects of removing multiplicative productivity shocks from real business cycle models. In a model that admits an analytical solution they argue convincingly that the positive welfare effect of removing uncertainty can be dominated by a...
