Global growth on life support? : the contributions of fiscal and monetary policy since the global financial crisis
Baumann, Ursel; Lodge, David; Miescu, Mirela S. - 2019
This paper compares the role of monetary and fiscal policy shocks in advanced and emerging economies. Using a model with a hierarchical structure we capture the variability of GDP response to policy shocks both between and within the groups of advanced and emerging countries. Our results provide...

Tracking growth in the euro area subject to a dimensionality problem
Comunale, Mariarosaria; Mongelli, Francesco Paolo - 2021
We investigate which variables have supported growth in the euro area over the last 30 years. This is a challenging task due to dimensionality problems: a large set of potential determinants, limited data, and the prospect that some variables could be non-stationary. We assemble a set of 35...

Monetary-fiscal interactions and the euro area's malaise
Jarociński, Marek; Maćkowiak, Bartosz - 2017
When monetary and fiscal policy are conducted as in the euro area, output, inflation, and government bond default premia are indeterminate according to a standard general equilibrium model with sticky prices extended to include defaultable public debt. With sunspots, the model mimics the recent...

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...

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...

Dynamic fiscal limits and monetary-fiscal policy interactions
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...

Tight money - tight credit : coordination failure in the conduct of monetary and financial policies
Carrillo, Julio A.; Mendoza, Enrique G.; Nuguer, Victoria; … - 2018
Quantitative analysis of a New Keynesian model with the Bernanke-Gertler accelerator and risk shocks shows that violations of Tinbergen's Rule and strategic interaction between policymaking authorities undermine significantly the effectiveness of monetary and financial policies. Separate...

Economic consequences of high public debt: evidence from three large scale DSGE models
Burriel, Pablo; Checherita-Westphal, Cristina; … - 2020
The paper reviews the economic risks associated with regimes of high public debt through DSGE model simulations. The large public debt build-up following the 2009 global financial and economic crisis acted as a shock absorber for output, while in the recent and more severe COVID19-crisis, an...
