Recently macroeconomists have intensified their efforts to develop models that are able to generate persistent reactions of real variables to monetary shocks in stochastic DGE models with nominal rigidities. This has proven to be quite difficult in models with price staggering only. Most papers...

Using data on border enforcement and macroeconomic indicators from the United States and Mexico, we estimate a two-country business cycle model of labor migration and remittances. The model matches the cyclical dynamics of unskilled migration and documents the insurance role of remittances in...

This paper considers the implications of adding capital as a factor of production in a stochastic DGE model with sticky prices for the effects of money growth shocks. Particular attention is given to the role of money demand and to the form of the utility function. I consider cash-in-advance-...
