We study the macroeconomic effects of bank capital requirements in an economy with two banking sectors. Banks are connected through a wholesale funding market. Anticipated banking crises occur endogenously in the form of self-fulfilling wholesale funding rollover crises. Retail bank capital...

We show that systemic risk in the banking sector breeds macroeconomic uncertainty. In a production economy with a banking sector, financial constraints of banks can lead to disastrous banking panics. We find that a higher probability of a banking panic increases uncertainty in the aggregate...

Introducing equilibrium unemployment to the solution of the intertemporal allocation of non-leisure time, we derive two wage-setting models which we estimate by panel data and cross-section regressions applied on aggregative data. The results support the empirical relation known as the...

Our aim in this paper is, first, to derive a model capable of explaining the stylized fact that fluctuations in labor market activities over the business cycle are primarily accommodated by changes in employment rather than in wages and, secondly, to test this model empirically. The model is...

En este trabajo se estudia la evolución del grado de interconexiones macrofinancieras, tanto dentro de las economías de Estados Unidos y de la zona del euro como entre ellas. Para esto, el estudio se basa en modelos de factores dinámicos con parámetros cambiantes en el tiempo, los cuales se...

En este trabajo se comparan dos metodologías macroeconómicas punteras pero a la vez muy distintas: el modelo DSGE con expectativas racionales y el modelo de comportamiento con racionalidad limitada. Procedemos a ampliar los dos para incluir fricciones financieras por el lado de la oferta...

Este artículo propone una nueva aproximación al análisis de las políticas macroprudenciales basado en el bienestar de la economía. En línea con Gerba (2017), fijamos una función de bienestar con criterios de primer y segundo orden ligados a la utilidad agregada de la economía para...

Diese Arbeit analysiert die Verbindung zwischen Produktivität und Arbeitsmarktmobilität. Die darin getestete Hypothese besagt, dass technologisches Wissen durch die Bewegungen von Fachkräften in der Form von Humankapital über Industrien verbreitet wird. Das Wissen diffundiert daraufhin im...

This paper provides early assessments of current U.S. Nominal GDP growth, which has been considered as a potential new monetary policy target. The nowcasts are computed using the exact amount of information that policy makers have available at the time predictions are made. However, real time...
