Expectational stability of resonant frequency sunspot equilibria

Evans, George W.; Honkapohja, Seppo - 2001

We consider the stability under adaptive learning of the complete set of solutions to the model when . In addition to the fundamentals solution, the literature describes both finite-state Markov sunspot solutions, satisfying a resonant frequency condition, and autoregressive solutions depending...

Stable sunspot equilibria in a cash-in-advance economy

Evans, George W.; Honkapohja, Seppo; Marimon, Ramon - 2001

We develop a monetary model with flexible supply of labor, cash in advance constraints and government spending financed by seignorage. This model has two regimes. One regime is conventional with two steady states. The other regime has a unique steady state which can be determinate or...

Heterogeneous expectations, indeterminacy, and postwar US business cycles

Ilabaca, Francisco; Milani, Fabio - 2020

postwar US macroeconomic data can be explained as the outcome of passive monetary policy, indeterminacy, and sunspot … windows and allowing the parameters to fall both in the determinacy and indeterminacy regions. The estimates reveal large … the sample. The results confirm that macroeconomic data in the early windows are better explained by indeterminacy, while …

Labour market and fiscal policy

Charpe, Matthieu; Bridji, Slim - 2012

This paper discusses fiscal policy using a DSGE model with search and matching in the labour market. Fiscal policy is effective mainly via its impact through the labour market. Although public intervention tends to crowd out private consumption, public spending also improves the matching between...

Boscá, J. E.; Díaz, A.; Doménech, R.; Ferri, J.; … - In: SERIEs - Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 1 (2010) 1/2, pp. 135-169

This paper presents the model used for simulation purposes within the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance. REMS (a Rational Expectations Model for the Spanish economy) is a small open economy dynamic general equilibrium model in the vein of the New-Neoclassical-Keynesian synthesis...

Explaining output volatility : the case of taxation

Posch, Olaf - 2009

This paper presents empirical evidence against the popular perception that macro volatility is exogenous. We obtain tax effects on macro aggregates in the stochastic neoclassical model. Taxes are shown to affect the second moment of output growth rates without affecting the first moment....

The debt brake: business cycle and welfare consequences of Germany's new fiscal policy rule

Mayer, Eric; Stähler, Nikolai - 2009

In a New Keynesian DSGE model with non-Ricardian consumers, we show that automatic stabilization according to a countercyclical spending rule following the idea of the debt brake is well suited both to steer the economy and in terms of welfare. In particular, the adjustment account set up to...

Fiscal stimulus in a model with endogenous firm entry

Totzek, Alexander; Winkler, Roland C. - 2010

This paper explores different fiscal stimuli within a business cycle model with an endogenous number of firms. We demonstrate that a changing number of firms is a crucial dimension for evaluating fiscal policy since it accelerates the impacts of fiscal policy. In the presence of demand stimuli...

Countercyclical taxation and price dispersion

Mayer, Eric; Grimm, Oliver - 2008

In this paper, we explore the benefits from a supply-side oriented fiscal tax policy within the framework of a New Keynesian DSGE model. We show that countercyclical tax rules, which are contingent on the observed welfare gap or on the cost-push shock and levied on value added, remarkably reduce...

Government expenditures and unemployment: A DSGE perspective

Mayer, Eric; Moyen, Stéphane; Stähler, Nikolai - 2010

In a New Keynesian DSGE model with labor market frictions and liquidity-constrained consumers aggregate unemployment is likely to increase due to a non-persistent government spending shock. Furthermore, the group of asset-holding households reacts very differently from the group of...
