A challenge to models of equilibrium indeterminacy based on increasing returns is that required increasing returns for … generating indeterminacy can be implausibly large and rise quickly with the relative risk aversion in labor. We show that … unsynchronized wage adjustment via a relative wage effect can both lower the required degree of increasing returns for indeterminacy …

This paper studies the growth effect of money supply in the presence of increasing returns and endogenous labor supply. By using a simple model of endogenous growth with a cash-in-advance constraint, it is shown that the growth effect of money supply depends on the specifications of preference...

We examine the role of expectations in the Great Moderation episode. We derive theoretical restrictions in a New-Keynesian model and test them using measures of expectations obtained from survey data, the Greenbook and bond markets. Expectations explain the dynamics of inflation and of interest...

Separately, news and sunspot shocks have been shown empirically to be determinants of changes in expectations. This … forecast errors is not unique, and the dynamics induced by news and sunspot shocks can be observationally equivalent. If …

We introduce increasing returns to scale into an otherwise standard New Keynesian model with capital, and study the determinacy and E-stability of Taylor-type interest rate rules. With very mild increasing returns supported by empirical research, the conventional wisdom regarding the design of...

Currently, many monetary and fiscal policy measures are aimed at preventing the financial market meltdown that started in the US subprime sector and has spread worldwide as a great recession. Although some slow recovery appears to be on the horizon, it is worthwhile exploring the fragility and...

In the last months, the world's economies were confronted with the largest economic recession since the Great Depression. The occurrence of a worldwide financial market meltdown as a consequence originally stemming from of the crisis in the US subprime housing sector was only prevented by...
