I develop an extended DSGE model that … includes both the financial sector and endogenous housing supply and show that forecasting accuracy significantly improves when …

We estimate a modified version of the "Financial Business Cycles" model originally developed by Iacoviello (2015) in order to investigate the role played by financial factors in driving the business cycle in the euro area. In the model, financial shocks such as borrower defaults, collateral...

This paper models the housing sector, mortgages and endogenous default in a DSGE setting with nominal and real … housing demand shock. Next we use our estimated model to evaluate a policy that reduces the principal of underwater mortgages …

House prices have inertia, which may be because housing-market participants need time to recognize long booms and … recessions. Within a dynamic stochastic general-equilibrium model with markets for housing and defaultable mortgages, I consider …

This paper introduces heterogeneous households into an otherwise standard sticky-price model with industry-specific labor markets. Households differ in labor incomes and asset markets are incomplete. I show that household heterogeneity affects equilibrium dynamics nontrivially by amplifying...

After the recent banking crisis in 2008, financial market conditions have turned out to be a relevant factor for economic fluctuations. This paper provides a quantitative assessment of the impact of financial frictions on the U.S. business cycle. The analysis compares the original Smets and...

This paper presents a novel Bayesian method for estimating dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models subject to a constrained posterior distribution of the implied Sharpe ratio. We apply our methodology to a DSGE model with habit formation in consumption and leisure, using an estimate...

We present an estimated dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model of stock market bubbles and business cycles using Bayesian methods. Bubbles emerge through a positive feedback loop mechanism supported by self-fulfilling beliefs. We identify a sentiment shock that drives the movements of...
