In this paper, we provide a new empirical analysis of the dynamic portfolio decisions of households by simultaneously considering their stock market participation and home tenure choices. There is already a huge body of literature on housing status (own/rent) decisions and many contributions...

This paper examines issues related to the estimation of the government spending multiplier (GSM) in a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium context. We stress a potential source of bias in the GSM arising from the combination of Edgeworth complementarity/substitutability between private...

[eng] This review of the literature presents the main tools and results of research at the crossroads between finance and macroeconomics. The literature seeks to jointly analyze the economic cycle and fluctuations in financial-asset prices. Our article follows this approach : we offer a critical...

The present paper investigates the dynamic effects of disinflation shocks for a number of real macroeconomic variables in the euro area. Using structural VARs, we identify disinflation shocks as the only shocks that can exert a long—run effect on inflation as well as other nominal variables...

This paper is a quantitative investigation into the characteristics of the Laffer curve in a neoclassical growth model with incomplete markets and heterogeneous, liquidity-constrained agents. We show that the shape of the Laffer curves related to taxes on labor, capital and consumption...

Cet article étudie les effets des politiques de désin?ation sur la dynamique macroéconomique américaine. Les politiques de désin?ation sont identifiées à l?aide d?une technique d?épisode comme des chocs réduisant de façon permanente le niveau d?in?ation de long terme. Nous montrons que...

This paper assesses the time series properties of rational expectations models with news shocks. We show that news shocks allows to substantially improve the dynamic behavior of such models in generating higher persistence. We also warn the use of SVAR models to uncover news shocks.
