The present paper introduces two bonds in a standard New-Keynesian model to study the role of segmentation in bond markets for the determinacy of rational expectations equilibria. We use a strongly-separable utility function to model ‘liquid’ bonds that provide transaction services for the...

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) has recently received significant at- tention in academic and policy circles. Critics question the sustainability of MMT-prescribed approaches to fiscal and monetary policy, especially over extended periods of time, in the presence of international financial markets,...

With a large-scale econometric world model we derive policy multipliers and the parameters for the utility functions for 10 EMU countries and for the ECB. The gains from cooperation are calculated by comparing two equilibria, a Nash and a cooperative equilibrium. The cooperative equilibrium is...

Unconventional fiscal policies incentivize households to accelerate consumption by generating future consumer price ination, and offer an alternative to unconventional monetary policy (Correia et al. (2013)). We use a natural experiment to study the causal effect of unconventional fiscal...

A macro econometric model of the Russian economy is developed, containing 13 estimated equations - covering major national account variables, government expenditures and revenues, interest rates, prices and the labour market. The model is tailored to analyze effects of changes in the oil price...

We investigate both the rational explosive inflation paths studied by McCallum (2001) and the classification of fiscal and monetary policies proposed by Leeper (1991) for stability under learning of rational expectations equilibria (REE).Our first result is that the fiscalist REE in the model of...

In this paper we consider inflation and government debt dynamics when monetary policy employs a global interest rate rule and private agents' forecasts using adaptive learning.Because of the zero lower bound on interest rates, active interest rate rules are known to imply the existence of a...

In this paper we introduce an application of the supply-side channel for fiscal policy to the basic New Keynesian model.We use a proportional tax rate instead of lump sum tax and introduce the distortions of a tax wedge.We derive a closed economy forward-looking model with government consumption...
