In the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) literature there has been an increasing aware- ness on the role … that the banking sector can play in macroeconomic activity. We present a DSGE model with financial intermediation as in … crucial in any attempted empirical analysis. Since DSGE modelling usually fails to take into account inherent nonlinearities …

This paper reconsiders the role of macroeconomic shocks and policies in determining the Great Recession and the subsequent recovery in the US. The Great Recession was mainly caused by a large demand shock and by the ZLB on the interest rate policy. In contrast with previous findings, the...

This paper investigates the role of fiscal policies over the aggregate EMU business cycle. Previous studies, based on the assumption of non-separability between public and private consumption, obtain a large public consumption multiplier, a small fraction of non-Ricardian households and,...

This paper examines whether the presence of parameter instabilities in dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE …) models affects their forecasting performance. We apply this analysis to medium-scale DSGE models with and without financial …

We introduce a Combined Density Nowcasting (CDN) approach to Dynamic Factor Models (DFM) that in a coherent way accounts for time-varying uncertainty of several model and data features in order to provide more accurate and complete density nowcasts. The combination weights are latent random...

This paper investigates the role of fiscal and monetary policies over the aggregate EMU business cycle, with a specific focus on fiscal policies. We estimate large multipliers for public consumption and transfers. In spite of this, fiscal policies were substantially muted. This result is...
