We analyze the macroeconomic implications of a transient interest-rate peg in combination with a QE program in a non-linear medium-scale DSGE model. In this context, we re-examine what has become known as the reversal puzzle (Carlstrom, Fuerst and Paustian, 2015) and provide an analytical...

Heterogeneous-agent New Keynesian models with sticky nominal wages usually assume that wage-setting unions demand the same amount of hours from all households. As a result, unions do not take account of the fact that (i) households are heterogeneous in their willingness to work, and that (ii)...

Two dynamic sticky price models with monopolistic competition in the goods market are presented. In the first model, each intermediate goods producer faces quadratic costs of adjusting its nominal price as introduced by Rotemberg (1982); the second model incorporates staggered price setting as...

Im folgenden soll versucht werden, empirische Evidenz zum Transmissionsmechanismus mit Hilfe monetärer Schocks zu generieren. Die quantitativen Auswirkungen der monetären Impulse werden mit Hilfe von Impuls-Antwort-Funktionen beschrieben, wobei die Impuls- Antwort-Funktionen auf einem VAR...

After hitting the lower bound on interest rates, the Eurosystem engaged in a public sector purchase programme (PSPP) and forward guidance (FG). We use prior and posterior predictive analysis to evaluate the importance of parameter uncertainty in an analysis of these policies. We model FG as an...

Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es zu prüfen, inwieweit unterschiedliche Varianten berechenbarer dynamischer Gleichgewichtsmodelle die empirische Evidenz zum monetären Transmissionsmechanismus nachbilden. Die zentrale Frage dieser Arbeit, inwieweit nominale Rigiditäten zu Trägheiten des...
