The role of labor markets for euro area monetary policy
Christoffel, Kai; Küster, Keith; Linzert, Tobias - 2009
In this paper, we explore the role of labor markets for monetary policy in the euro area in a New Keynesian model in which labor markets are characterized by search and matching frictions. We first investigate to which extent a more flexible labor market would alter the business cycle behaviour...

Labor market institutions and the business cycle : unemployment rigidities vs. real wage rigidities
Abbritti, Mirko; Weber, Sebastian - 2010
This paper investigates the importance of labor market institutions for inflation and unemployment dynamics. Using the … Unemployment Rigidities (UR) and those that cause Real Wage Rigidities (RWR). The two types of institutions have opposite effects … and their interaction is crucial for the dynamics of inflation and unemployment. We estimate a panel VAR with …

Are policy counterfactuals based on structural VAR's reliable?
Benati, Luca - 2010
Based on standard New Keynesian models I show that policy counterfactuals based on the theoretical structural VAR representations of the models fail to reliably capture the impact of changes in the parameters of the Taylor rule on the (reduced-form) properties of the economy. Based on estimated...

VAR analysis and the Great Moderation
Benati, Luca (contributor); Surico, Paolo (contributor) - 2008
Most analyses of the U.S. Great Moderation have been based on structural VAR methods, and have consistently pointed towards good luck as the main explanation for the greater macroeconomic stability of recent years. Based on an estimated New-Keynesian model in which the only source of change is...

Financial frictions : micro vs macro volatility
Lee, Seungcheol; Luetticke, Ralph; Ravn, Morten O. - 2021
We introduce frictional financial intermediation into a HANK model. Households are subject to idiosyncratic and aggregate risk and smooth consumption through savings and consumer loans intermediated by banks. The banking friction introduces an endogenous countercyclical spread between the...

Price rigidities and the granular origins of aggregate fluctuations
Pasten, Ernesto; Schoenle, Raphael; Weber, Michael - 2017
We study the aggregate implications of sectoral shocks in a multi-sector New Keynesian model featuring sectoral heterogeneity in price stickiness, sector size, and input-output linkages. We calibrate a 341 sector version of the model to the United States. Both theoretically and empirically,...

Monetary policy, agent heterogeneity and inequality : insights from a three-agent New Keynesian model
Eskelinen, Maria - 2021
In this paper I develop a New Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model which features three different types of representative agents (THRANK): the poor hand-to- mouth, the wealthy hand-to-mouth and the non-hand-to mouth households. Compared to a full-scale HANK model, this model is...

More than a feeling : confidence, uncertainty and macroeconomic fluctuations
Nowzohour, Laura; Stracca, Livio - 2017
Economists, observers and policy-makers often emphasize the role of sentiment as a potential driver of the business cycle. In this paper we provide three contributions to this debate. First, we critically survey the existing literature on sentiment (considering both confidence and uncertainty)...

Business cycle duration dependence and foreign recessions
Bondt, Gabe J. de; Vermeulen, Philip - 2018
We estimate business cycle regime switching logit models for G7 countries to determine the effect of duration of the current business cycle phase and of foreign recessions on the likelihood that expansions and recessions come to an end. With respect to expansions in a G7 country, we find that...
