The essence of this study is to examine the impact of macroeconomic variables and some salient socio-economic and political variables on the manufacturing sub-sector of the Nigerian economy by using the autoregressive distributed lag to analyze data source from 1986 to 2019 within the context of...

In any economy, monetary policy is as essential as fiscal policy in driving growth and in India, it is no different. Our monetary policy is determined by the Reserve Bank of India in consultation with Monetary Policy Committee which is headed by the RBI Governor while Fiscal Policy is determined...

We extend the Carlstrom and Fuerst (1997) agency cost model of business cycles by including time varying uncertainty in the technology shocks that affect capital production. We first demonstrate that standard linearization methods can be used to solve the model yet second moment effects still...

Using a Bayesian likelihood approach, we estimate a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model for the US economy using seven macro-economic time series. The model incorporates many types of real and nominal frictions and seven types of structural shocks. We show that this model is able to...

Die deutsche Wirtschaft ist konsumseitig mit Schwung in das Jahr 2015 gestartet. Zahlreiche Faktoren sorgen aktuell für eine sehr gute Konsumstimmung und eine hohe Dynamik beim Privaten Verbrauch: fallende Energiepreise, extrem niedrige Zinsen, die gute Lage auf dem Arbeitsmarkt sowie einmalige...

Gesellschaften rund um den Globus sind derzeit mit Preissteigerungen konfrontiert, die über lange Zeit nicht zu verzeichnen waren. Diese sind ökonomische Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie - vor allem der gestörten Produktionsprozesse. Hinzu kommen die erheblichen Verteuerungen von Energie und...

This paper performs a welfare analysis based on the hypothetical scenario that Denmark gave up its peg and started conducting monetary policy according to a Taylor rule. For this we rely on a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model for a small open economy that was estimated on Danish data...

We decompose the Danish business cycle into ten structural shocks using an open-economy DSGE model with infrequent determination of prices and wages which we estimate with Bayesian techniques. Consistent with the Danish monetary policy regime, we formulate an imperfect peg on the foreign...

Micro-founded de-centralized financial intermediation in a cash and costly-credit model(see Gillman and Kejak, 2008) results in a cost-distortion of returns implying a lower average nominal and real risk-free rate when compared to standard cash-in-advance RBC models. Failure of both short-run...

The author evaluates the effect of the Bank of Canada's conditional commitment regarding the target overnight rate on longer-term market interest rates by taking into account the relationship between interest rates, inflation, and unemployment rates. By using vector autoregressive models of...
