This revolves around question whether Mises favored 100-percent gold reserve banking imposed by law or free based on as ideal monetary system. In this paper, I suggest that debate is fundamen...

Can central banks defuse rising stability risks in financial booms by leaning against the wind with higher interest rates? This paper studies state-dependent effects of monetary policy on crisis risk. Based near-universe advanced economy cycles since nineteenth century, we show that discretionary policies during credit and asset price are more likely to trigger crises than prevent them. (JEL E4...

I analyze an extension of the New Keynesian model that features overlapping generations finitely lived agents and (stochastic) transitions to inactivity. In contrast with standard model, proposed framework allows for existence rational expectations equilibria asset price bubbles. study conditions under which bubble-driven fluctuations may emerge type monetary policy rules prevent them. conclude...

High degree of interest sensitivity of durable goods is now a stylized fact in the literature of monetary policy. This literature, however, does not provide a clear and consensual explanation for the modalities of this stylized fact. In this paper, two independent empirical models are performed to shed more light on the cross-sectoral impacts of monetary policy. The results of first study indic...

The Journal of Economic Literature codes classification system (JEL) published by the American Association (AEA) is de facto standard for research literature in economics. JEL used to classify articles, dissertations, books, book reviews, and working papers EconLit, a database maintained AEA. Over time, it has evolved extended with over 850 subclasses. This paper reviews history development sys...

This paper analyzes the effects of lower bound for interest rates on distributions inflation and rates. In a New Keynesian model with bound, two equilibria emerge: policy is mostly unconstrained in “target equilibrium,” whereas constrained “liquidity trap equilibrium.” Using options data inflation, we find forecast densities consistent target equilibrium no evidence favor liquidity equilibrium....

The authors construct three financial conditions indexes (FCIs) for Canada based on three approaches: an IS-curve-based model, generalized impulse-response functions, and factor analysis. Each approach is intended to address one or more criticisms of the monetary conditions index (MCI) and existing FCIs. To evaluate their three FCIs, the authors consider five performance criteria: the consisten...

Evidence suggests that banks, like firms, face financial frictions when raising funds. The authors develop a quantitative, monetary business cycle model in which agency problems affect both the relationship between banks and firms and the relationship between banks and their depositors. As a result, bank capital and entrepreneurial net worth jointly determine aggregate investment, and are impor...

After the Great Recession several central banks started setting negative nominal interest rates in an expansionary attempt, but effectiveness of this measure remains unclear. Negative can stimulate economy by lowering that commercial charge on loans, they also erode bank profitability squeezing deposit spreads. This paper studies effects a new DSGE model where intermediate transmission monetary...
