We develop a New Monetarist model in continuous time where agents trade continuously in competitive markets and infrequently in pairwise meetings. Agents can produce and consume both in flows over time intervals and in discrete quantities at points in time. We detail the methodology to solve...

We develop a random-matching model to study the price dynamics of divisible monies produced privately by using a time-consuming mining technology. There exists a unique equilibrium where the value of money increases until it reaches a steady state. There is also a continuum of perfect-foresight...

We develop a random-matching model to study the price dynamics of monies produced privately according to a time-consuming mining technology. We provide examples of mining technologies for which there exists a unique equilibrium where the value of money increases over time and reaches a steady...

We formalize a decentralized market where consumers with privately-known preferences meet bilaterally with firms. The latter acquire information to raise their degree of price discrimination from second to first. In a dynamic setting where outside options are endogenous, information choices are...

We develop a dynamic, search-theoretic model of bank deposit and loan markets where relationships are bilateral, the demand for liquid assets is microfounded, and consumers are privately informed about their liquidity needs. As the policy rate rises, the deposit spread widens, and aggregate...

We study the foundations of firms' market power in a continuous-time model where agents are price-makers who interact explicitly with each other. Market power arises from the existence of rents, the size of which depends on consumers' outside options, and firms' ability to appropriate these...
