The standard approach to solving linear DSGE models is to apply the QZ method. It is a one-shot algorithm that leaves the researcher with little alternative than to seek a different algorithm should the result be numerically unsatisfactory. We develop an iterative implementation of QZ that...

Can consumption-based mechanisms generate positive and time-varying real term premia as we see in the data? I show that only models with time-varying risk aversion or models with high consumption risk can independently produce these patterns. The latter explanation has not been analysed before...

The evidence suggests that monetary policy transmission is asymmetric over the business cycle. Interacting financing frictions with a preference for liquidity provides an explanation for this fact. Our mechanism generates monetary asymmetries in a model that jointly reproduces a set of asset...
