Dieser Beitrag untersucht anhand eines Modells für eine kleine Währungsunion, die simultan durch angebots- und nachfrageseitige Asymmetrien gekennzeichnet ist, welche dynamischen Wirkungen von der Geldpolitik, der Fiskalpolitik sowie ausländischen Zinsänderungen auf die Union als Ganzes...

Barro-Gordon Revisited: Reputational Equilibria in a New Keynesian Model The aim of this paper is to solve the inconsistency problem à la Barro/Gordon within a New Keynesian model and to derive time-consistent interest rate rules of Taylor-type. We find a multiplicity of time-consistent rules....

This paper investigates optimal policy in the presence of anticipated (or news) shocks. We determine the optimal unrestricted and restricted policy response in a general rational expectations model and show that, if shocks are news shocks, the optimal unrestricted control rule under commitment...

In a recent paper, Mertens and Ravn (2010) study the effects of anticipated fiscal policy shocks in a structural vector autoregressive model. The authors maintain that (i) the lag polynomial associated with news shocks is a cyclotomic polynomial and (ii) the matrix B(L) which transforms a...

We pick up the standard textbook approach of money creation and develop a simple agent-based alternative. We show that our model is well suited to explain the endogenous creation of money. Although more general, our model still contains the standard results as a limiting case. We also uncover a...

The authors develop a simple agent-based and stock flow consistent model of a monetary economy. Their model is well suited to explain money creation along the lines of mainstream theory. Additionally it uncovers a potential instability that follows from a maturity mismatch of assets and...
