Stock-flow consistent models may be considered the rallying point for heterodox authors interested in modeling macroeconomic relations, since these models incorporate real and financial relations in an entirely consistent way, therefore providing macroeconomic constraints to individual behavior....

Models in macroeconomic sciences are designed with the aim of understanding and then simulating the real world economic and monetary policy making. There has been a considerable debate over how to model the real world economic phenomena, and how correctly those models allow explanations of...

This paper analyses the theoretical and policy implications of assuming firm-specific lumpy investment behaviour by firms and compares such implications to those occurring when adopting different investment specifications in a new-Keynesian framework. We develop numerical simulations of the...

This chapter aims to provide a hands-on approach to New Keynesian models and their uses for macroeconomic policy analysis. It starts by reviewing the origins of the New Keynesian approach, the key model ingredients and representative models. Building blocks of current-generation dynamic...

This paper employs fifteen dynamic macroeconomic models maintained within the European System of Central Banks to assess the size of fiscal multipliers in European countries. Using a set of common simulations, we consider transitory and permanent shocks to government expenditures and different...

This paper analyses the 1980s Latin American debt crisis in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico and, in particular, the influence of cumulative processes at work in its early and final stages. The paper is organised in three sections. The first examines the crisis<92> features in the three countries, and...</92>
