The exchange rate in a dynamic-optimizing business cycle model with nominal rigidities: a quantitative investigation
This paper studies a quantitative dynamic-optimizing business cycle model of a small open economy with staggered price and wage setting. The model exhibits exchange rate overshooting in response to money supply shocks. The predicted variability of the nominal and, especially, of the real exchange rate is noticeably higher than in standard Real Business Cycle models with flexible prices and wage...
متن کاملUncertainty, Financial Frictions, and Investment Dynamics
This paper analyzes—both empirically and theoretically—how fluctuations in uncertainty interact with financial market imperfections in determining economic outcomes. In a standard bond-contracting framework, an increase in uncertainty benefits equity holders at the expense of bondholders, and to the extent that firms face significant frictions in financial markets, increased uncertainty implies...
متن کاملUncertainty, Financial Frictions, and Irreversible Investment
Using macroand micro-level data, we establish three stylized facts: (1) fluctuations in idiosyncratic uncertainty can have a large effect on aggregate investment; (2) the impact of uncertainty on investment occurs largely through changes in credit spreads; and (3) financial shocks—identified vis-à-vis orthogonal innovations to credit spreads—have a strong effect on investment, irrespective of t...
متن کاملFinancial Frictions and the Persistence of History: A Quantitative Exploration
This paper presents a quantitative model of economic transitions. We explicitly model resource misallocation and financial frictions to explain observed transitional dynamics that are not consistent with the standard neoclassical growth theory. When calibrated to empirical evidence on resource misallocation and financial frictions in less developed countries, our model economy converges slowly ...
