Do Higher Interest Rates Raise or Lower Inflation?
The standard “new-Keynesian” model accounts well for the fact that inflation has been stable at a zero interest rate peg. However, If the Fed raises nominal interest rates, the same model model predicts that inflation will smoothly rise, both in the short run and long run. This paper presents a series of failed attempts to escape this prediction. Sticky prices, money, backward-looking Phillips ...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Estimation of Probability Distribution of Variables in Higher Dimensions from Lower Dimensional Data
A common statistical situation concerns inferring an unknown distribution Q(x) from a known distribution P(y), where X (dimension n), and Y (dimension m) have a known functional relationship. Most commonly, n ≤ m, and the task is relatively straightforward for well-defined functional relationships. For example, if Y1 and Y2 are independent random variables, each uniform on [0, 1], one can deter...
متن کاملPRELIMINARY DRAFT: NOT FOR CITATION OR QUOTATION A Puzzle in SO2 Emissions Trading: Temporal Inefficiency or Higher Prices?
Banking has been an important component of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions trading in the U.S. Acid Rain Program and it is commonly included as a desirable feature of cap-and-trade programs for limiting emissions. This paper evaluates the performance of this temporal dimension of SO2 allowance trading based on the five years in which the SO2 bank was built up and the first year of draw-down that...

متن کاملSolving the ρ–π puzzle by higher charmonium Fock states
A new explanation for the longstanding puzzle of the tiny branching fraction of ψ → ρπ relative to that for J/ψ → ρπ was proposed. In the case of J/ψ, we argue that this decay is dominated by a higher Fock state in which the cc̄ pair is in a color-octet S1 state and annihilates via the process cc̄ → qq̄. In the case of the ψ, we argue that the probability for the cc̄ pair in this higher Fock state ...
