This paper considers a New Keynesian DSGE model with Epstein-Zin-Weil preferences combined with real and nominal long-run risk. The model is solved up to third order and estimated on US data using the 10-year nominal yield curve, two interest rate surveys, and four macro variables. Our model...

It is well-established that the presence of deterministic and/or stochastic trends in DSGE models may imply that the agents' objective functions attain infinite values. This is the case even if the subjective discount factor is strictly less than one. Currently, sufficient conditions ensuring...

This paper uses a nonlinear vector autoregression and a non-recursive identification strategy to show that an equal-sized uncertainty shock generates a larger contraction in real activity when growth is low (as in recessions) than when growth is high (as in expansions). An estimated New...

This paper introduces a new utility kernel for Epstein-Zin-Weil preferences to obtain greater flexibility in setting the intertemporal elasticity of substitution, the relative risk aversion (RRA), and the timing attitude compared to their standard implementation. We show that these new...

This paper studies whether dynamic term structure models for US nominal bond yields should enforce the zero lower bound by a quadratic policy rate or a shadow rate specification. We address the question by estimating quadratic term structure models (QTSMs) and shadow rate models (SRMs) with at...
