This paper links recent tax-rate-cut-cum-base-broadening reforms of corporate taxation to the closer integration of international trade. We study the corporate tax structure in a small open economy with heterogeneous firms, in a setting where it is optimal to subsidize capital inputs by granting...

In this paper, we derive a modification of a forward-looking Taylor rule, which integrates two variables measuring the uncertainty of inflation and GDP growth forecasts into an otherwise standard New Keynesian model. We show that certainty-equivalence in New Keynesian models is a consequence of...

We model an economy where financial intermediation is subject to search frictions. The economy may reduce the extent of these frictions by devoting human resources to intermediation. More efficient credit markets (i.e., with less frictions) conduct to more efficient product markets via larger...
