Our very simple two agent New Keynesian model is highly stylised. It consists of an entrepreneur, who owns the economies' firms, consumes and saves, but does not work (or does not receive wage income), while the worker consumes and works, but cannot save. The allocation of the ability to save...

Women are underrepresented in leadership positions - academia is no exception. Using data on careers of doctoral graduates in Germany, we study gender differences in the decision to stay at university as a postdoctoral researcher and in the intention to become a professor. We find that gender...

Analyses a New Keynesian model linearised around a possibly positive trend inflation rate. The trend inflation, i.e. target inflation rate, is brought about either by a forward-looking or contemporaneous Taylor rule. Technical analysis of model behaviour and steady-state under the assumption of...

A small-scale New Keynesian model comes with considerable output losses from moderate positive steady-state inflation when the long-run output-inflation relationship is derived from the microeconomic equations. We analyse:1. whether allowing for parameter change with trend inflation might move...
