Distortionary income taxation in a standard New Keynesian model substantially increases the nominal term-premium on long-term bonds relative to a model with lumpsum taxes. Also the empirical level of the nominal term premium can be matched with lower risk-aversion coefficient in case of a model...

We introduce costly firm-entry a la Bilbiie et al. (2012) into a New Keynesian model with Epstein-Zin preferences and show that it can jointly account for a high mean value of bond and equity premium without compromising the fit of the model to first and second moments of key macroeconomic...

Long-term bond yields contain a risk-premium, an important part of which is compensation for inflation risks. The substantial increase in the Fed funds rate in the mid-2000s did not raise long-term US Treasury yields due to the reduction in the term premium (so-called Greenspan conundrum) which...

We estimate a New Keynesian model on post-war US data with generalised method of moments using either constant or time- varying debt and labor income taxes. We show that accounting for government debt and distortionary taxes help the New Keynesian model match the level of the nominal term...

We study the nexus between endogenous growth and asset prices. Endogenous growth models with either horizontal or vertical innovation exhibit a good match to financial data due to countercyclical dividends which are either procyclical or acyclical in US data. In the model technology shocks...

Applications in modern macroeconomics increasingly require non-linear solution methods. Our paper studies the consequences of the widely used Calvo pricing mechanism in a non-linear world. We introduce the concept of the stability region as a non-linear counterpart to the determinacy region. We...
