I use a microfounded model of money to quantify the redistributive effects of expected inflation in a sample of OECD countries. In doing so, I address two quantitative issues. First, I pin down money demand rigorously, which implies accounting for the possibility of policy breaks. I show that...

We construct a monetary economy in which agents face aggregate demand shocks and heterogeneous idiosyncratic preference shocks. We show that, even when the Friedman rule is the best interest rate policy the central bank can implement, not all agents are satiated at the zero lower bound and...

I calibrate the microfounded model in Boel and Camera (2009) to quantify the redistributive effects of inflation for a sample of OECD countries. In doing so, I address two important quantitative issues. First, using harmonized microdata from the Luxembourg Wealth Study, I provide an...

In this preliminary version we consider different types of ex-ante heterogeneity (production cost, preferences, market … access, etc.) in a Lagos-Wright (2003) framework. Such heterogeneity generates equilibrium inequality in nominal wealth, or … money holdings. We have two basic objectives. First, we want to understand under what types of heterogeneity a simple …

We construct a monetary economy with heterogeneity in discounting and consumption risk. Agents can insure against this …

The welfare cost of anticipated inflation is quantified in a calibrated model of the U.S. economy that exhibits tractable equilibrium dispersion in wealth and earnings. Inflation does not generate large losses in societal welfare, yet its impact varies noticeably across segments of society...
