This book aims to systematically develop a general equilibrium macroeconomic model for both closed and open economies. In the seventh edition, Chapter 8 (The Standard Model of Neo-Keynesian Macroeconomics) has been revised and expanded to include a section on the neo-Keynesian IS-LM model

Der Beitrag analysiert die kurz-, mittel- und langfristigen Wirkungen antizipierter angebotsorientierter Politikmaßnahmen im Rahmen eines dynamischen Modells für eine Währungsunion, das durch perfekte Voraussicht, Sattelpunktstabilität und importierte Vorleistungen gekennzeichnet ist. Es...

The paper analyzes the dynamic effects of anticipated symmetric demand and supply side policies within the framework of a macroeconomic model of a small monetary union, which is characterized by asymmetric wage adjustment equations of Phillips' curve type. It is shown that an anticipated...

This paper shows that news shocks amplify macroeconomic volatility in any purely forward-looking model, whereas results are ambiguous when including a backward-looking component. We also investigate numerically the volatility effects of news shocks within the Smets and Wouters (2003) model.

Rational expectations models with news shocks may generate moving average representation that are nonfundamental. The nonfundamentalness typically arises from the lag polynomial associated with news shocks. This paper provides an exact solution formula for this special type of polynomial and...

The authors develop a simple agent-based and stock flow consistent model of a monetary economy. Their model is well suited to explain money creation along the lines of mainstream theory. Additionally it uncovers a potential instability that follows from a maturity mismatch of assets and...

This paper analyzes the dynamic effects of oil price increases in a small two-country monetary union with asymmetric wage adjustment equations. Common oil price shocks lead during the adjustment process to temporary divergences in output and inflation and also to reversals in the relative...

We combine a simple agent-based model of financial markets and a New Keynesian macroeconomic model with bounded rationality via two straightforward channels. The result is a macroeconomic model that allows for the endogenous development of business cycles and stock price bubbles. We show that...
