—the liquidity premium. We rationalize this finding in an estimated heterogeneous-agent New-Keynesian (HANK) model with incomplete … markets and portfolio choice, in which public debt affects private liquidity. In this environment, the short-run fiscal … multiplier is amplified by the countercyclical liquidity premium. This liquidity channel stabilizes investment and crowds in …

This paper studies the design, effects and interactions of monetary and fiscal policies in the euro-area and between the euro-area and the non euro-area. To do so, a stylized three-country model of monetary and fiscal policy rules is constructed. It is analyzed how monetary and fiscal rules...

In this note we elaborate on the effect of the modeling choice of the zero lower bound on the size of the fiscal multiplier. To this end we contrast two different ways to implement the ZLB in a New Keynesian model: the ZLB modeled as an endogenous central bank reaction to a contractionary demand...

The empirical effectiveness of economic policies that operate theoretically through similar channels differs substantially. We document this fact by comparing an easy-to-grasp expectations-based policy, unconventional fiscal policy, with a policy whose implications are harder to understand by...

This paper introduces agent heterogeneity, liquidity, and endogenous default to a DSGE framework. Our model allows for … the economy. Due to liquidity and endogenous default, the transmission mechanism of shocks is well defined, and their …
