In this paper it, we have conducted a factor analysis which implied determining the international research directions that have characterized the period following the outbreak of the crisis in 2007 and 2008-2011. In this research, we used secondary data that were extracted from 342 articles,...

After three decades of being relatively constant, the homeownership rate increased over the 1994-2005 period to attain record highs. The objective of this paper is to account for the observed boom in ownership by examining the role played by changes in demographic factors and innovations in the...

The last decade has brought about substantial mortgage innovation and increased refinancing. The objective of this paper is to understand the determinants and implications of mortgage choice in the context of a general equilibrium model with incomplete markets. The equilibrium characterization...

The paper starts with examining the standard concept of government expenditure multiplier and finds that in a model of open economy with government revenues and expenditures the multiplier definition is incorrect in so far as the import intensity component relates total imports to GDP, whereas...

I construct a unified macroeconomic framework by incorporating frictional markets in a neoclassical environment.

Cities exist because of the productivity gains arising from clustering production and workers, a process called agglomeration. How important is agglomeration for aggregate growth? This paper constructs a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model of cities and uses it to estimate the effect of...

This paper proposes a theoretical framework of the Macroeconomic black holes. The idea is to observe “HOW” the macroeconomic black holes can generate less economic growth according to this paper. The same paper proposes the multi-dimensional graphical modeling and a basic mathematical...

Macroeconomics deals with the household and the firm through the automatic mechanism of aggregate demand and aggregate supply until and unless demand deadlock or supply side rigidities affect. In these cases of demand deadlocks and supply side rigidities, intervention seems to be a general...
