This paper quantifies the welfare costs of inflation in an endogenous growth setup when transitional dynamics are taken into account. We report much smaller costs than when these dynamics are omitted.

This paper quantifies the welfare costs of inflation in an endogenous growth setup where transitional dynamics are taken into account. We report much smaller costs than in the litterature.

When an household needs to change its home, a new house must be bought and the old one must be sold. In order to complete these two transactions, the household can adopt either a sequential or a simultaneous search strategy. In sequential strategies, it first buys (or sells) and only after tries...

This paper proposes a new explanation of the job quality issue in search and matching models, which is not based on market externalities but on strategic interactions within firms through the intrafirm bargaining process. We develop a matching and intrafirm bargaining model in which large firms...

A large body of literature in real estate has been devoted to the correlation between prices and changes in liquidity of the market (i.e. the ability to sell and buy more or less rapidly). However the specific role of liquidity risk ñ uncertainty in time to sell ñ has not been explored yet....

When an household needs to change its home, two transactions have to be done: buy a new house and sell the preceding one. To do so, the household can either adopt a sequential search strategy or a simultaneous search strategy. In sequential strategies, it first buys (or sells) and only after...

A new method for estimating total housing returns at a local level is introduced. A unique and comprehensive dataset on housing price transactions for the Paris administrative region over the 1996-2008 period is combined with sets of individual panel data collected by the NSI for a survey on...
