The natural rate of interest, often interpreted as the equilibrium real interest rate, serves as a critical benchmark for evaluating the stance of monetary policy. This paper investigates the natural rate of interest in Uzbekistan using three econometric approaches: the HLW-type model1 , a...

We develop a new model of cycles and crises in emerging markets, featuring an occasionally binding borrowing constraint and stochastic volatility, and estimate it with quarterly data for Mexico since 1981. We propose an endogenous regime-switching formulation of the occasionally binding...

Bounded rationality and limited attention significantly influence expectation formation and macroeconomic dynamics, yet empirical quantification of these behavioral phenomena remains challenging. This paper provides the first cross-country estimation of both micro- and macro-level attention...
