This paper adds a credit services sector into a monetary endogenous growth economy in order to investigate the inflation-growth effect. We compare this economy to more standard models with respect to the effect of the money / credit exchange technology. We find a markedly negative effect of...

To explain the relationship between income inequality and economic growth, we develop a computational model of endogenous growth by taking the effects of fixed government expenditure into account. With such a model, a non-linear relationship between level of income inequality and economic growth...

We estimate a New-Keynesian macro-finance model of the yield curve incorporating learning by private agents with respect to the long-run expectation of inflation and the equilibrium real interest rate. A preliminary analysis shows that some liquidity premia, expressed as a degree of mispricing...

Structural DSGE models are used for analyzing both policy and the sources of business cycles. Conclusions based on full structural models are, however, potentially affected by misspecification. A competing method is to use partially identified SVARs based on narrative shocks. This paper asks...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of monetary-fiscal policies interaction on price and output growth in Nigeria. The dynamic correlations of variables have been captured by the analyses of impulse response and variance decomposition. From innovation analyses, the results suggest that the...

We examine the macroeconomic implications of fiscal policy in a small open economy, with emphasis on the interactions between fiscal, monetary and labour market policies. The paper uses the NBNZ-DEMONZ macroeconometric model. Novel features of the model are that it includes an endogenous...
