This paper aims at measuring the robustness of Real Business Cycle international stylized facts across exchange rate regimes. I thus investigate th e impact of the Bretton Woods System and the ERM on the business cycle regularities. Thanks to bootstrap techniques, I measure the accuracy of the...

Empirical evidence suggest that nominal shocks play a major role in explaining real exchange rate fluctuations. I thus develop a two-country monopolistic competition model with nominal impulses, adjustement costs and price discrimination. I gauge the ability of the model to solve the quantity...

This paper adds to the empirical literature on business cycle properties across exchange rate regimes. Earlier research examined the consequences of the Bretton Woods system on international stylized facts. However, the conclusions might be biased by the oil shocks at the beginning of the...

L'ambition de ce travail est d'evaluer quantitativement la capacite de l'epargne de precaution a s'assurer contre le risque de chomage dans le cadre d'une economie caracterisee par des risques idiosyncratiques se traduisa nt par une heterogeneite sur le marche du travail. Il apparaît que...

Nous nous inscrivons dans le cadre theorique d'un modele d'equilibre general intertemporel stochastique purement reel a deux pays pour analyser la dynamique des taux de chomage nationaux suite a l'occurrence de chocs asymetriques. Il s'agit en cela d'un modele non-walrasien dans lequel le...

This paper studies the cyclical labor market properties of a model which can account for the Phillips and Beveridge curves. Monopolistic competition and sticky prices on the good market are introduced in a labor market search model disturbed both by technological and money supply shocks. We...
