Market Power, Inequality, and Financial Instability
Cairo, Isabel; Sim, Jae W. - 2020
Over the last four decades, the U.S. economy has experienced a few secular trends, each of which may be considered undesirable in some aspects: declining labor share; rising profit share; rising income and wealth inequalities; and rising household sector leverage and associated financial...

Macroeconomic Implications of Inequality and Income Risk
Aladangady, Aditya; Gagnon, Etienne; Johannsen, Benjamin K. - 2021
We explore the long-run relationship between income risk, inequality, and the macroeconomy in an overlapping-generations model in which households face uncertain streams of labor income and returns on their savings. To manage those risks, households can apportion their savings to a bond, whose...

Endogenous Bargaining Power and Declining Labor Compensation Share
Córdoba Muñoz, Juan C.; Isojärvi, Anni T.; Li, Haoran - 2023
Workhorse search and matching models assume constant bargaining weights, while recent evidence indicates that weights vary across time and in cross section. We endogenize bargaining weights in a life-cycle search and matching model by replacing a standard Cobb-Douglas (CD) matching function with...

Sticky Prices, Coordination and Enforcement
Driscoll, John C.; Itō, Harumi - 2003
Price-setting models with monopolistic competition and costs of changing prices exhibit coordination failure: in response to a monetary policy shock, individual agents lack incentives to change prices even when it would be Pareto-improving if all agents did so. The potential welfare gains are in...

Equilibrium yield curves and the interest rate lower bound
Nakata, Taisuke; Tanaka, Hiroatsu - 2016 - This draft: October 2016
We study the term structure of default-free interest rates in a sticky-price model with an occasionally binding effective lower bound (ELB) constraint on interest rates and recursive preferences. The ELB constraint induces state-dependency in the dynamics of term premiums by affecting...

Some international evidence for Keynesian economics without the Phillips curve
Farmer, Roger E. A.; Nicolò, Giovanni - 2019
Farmer and Nicolò (2018) show that the Farmer Monetary (FM)-model outperforms the three-equation New-Keynesian (NK)-model in post war U.S. data. In this paper, we compare the marginal data density of the FM-model with marginal data densities for determinate and indeterminate versions of the...

Equilibrium Yield Curves with Imperfect Information
Tanaka, Hiroatsu - 2023
I study the dynamics of default-free bond yields and term premia using a novel equilibrium term structure model with a New-Keynesian core and imperfect information about productivity. The model generates term premia that are on average positive with sizable countercyclical variation that arises...
