"Search frictions in the labor market help explain the equity premium in the financial market. We embed the Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides search framework into a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with recursive preferences. The model produces a sizeable equity premium of 4.54% per...

The paper contributes to understanding the effects stemming from the public sector employment changes in the Czech Republic and their impacts on the labor market through the lens of a New Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with search and matching frictions. The size of the...

I compare the performance of solution methods in solving a standard real business cycle model with labor market search frictions. Under the conventional calibration, the model is solved by the projection method using the Chebyshev polynomials as its basis, and the perturbation methods up to...

To explain the high and persistent unemployment rate in the U.S. during and after the Great Recession, this effort develops and estimates a DSGE model with search and matching frictions and shocks to unemployment benefits and matching efficiency. It finds that the unemployment benefits play an...

In response to the disruption of credit markets and the zero lower bound during the recent financial crisis, the Federal Reserve introduced a variety of new policy tools. Perhaps, the most visible of these tools is large scale asset purchases (LSAP) programs, often referred to as "quantitative...
