This paper assesses the importance of heterogeneity in household portfolios for transmission monetary policy a New Keynesian business cycle model with uninsurable income risk and assets different liquidity. In this environment, works through investment, but redistribution lowers elasticity investment via two channels: (i) marginal propensities to invest, (ii) time variation liquidity premium. M...

We develop a theory of low-frequency movements in inflation expectations, and use it to interpret joint dynamics expectations for the United States other countries over postwar period. In our theory, long-run are endogenous. They driven by short-run surprises, way that depends on recent forecasting performance monetary policy. This distinguishes from common explanations properties inflation. Th...

We study optimal monetary policy in an analytically tractable heterogeneous agent New Keynesian model with rich cross-sectional heterogeneity. Optimal differs from a representative benchmark because can affect consumption inequality, by stabilizing risk arising both idiosyncratic shocks and unequal exposures to aggregate shocks. The trade-off between productive efficiency, price stability is su...

We provide a new channel through which monetary policy has distributional consequences at business cycle frequencies. show that an unexpected easing increases labor income inequality between high-skilled and less-skilled workers. To rationalize these findings, we build New Keynesian DSGE model with asymmetric search-and-matching (SAM) frictions capital-skill complementarity (CSC) in production....

The speci…cation of the accumulation function is critical for the properties and implications of structuralist and post-Keynesian models. A large Kaleckian literature assumes that investment is relatively insensitive to variations in the utilization rate of capital, and this extension of a standard short-run "Keynesian stability condition" to the long run has been defended by Lavoie and Dutt, a...

External capital inflow on a massive scale into the emerging market economies is a very significant phenomenon of recent years. Making distinctions between direct investment, real and financial, and portfolio investment and incorporating crowding in or crowding out effects we derive some results about the impact of higher inflow on output, investment and the exchange rare. A formula is suggeste...

SUMMARY Using the Chinese setting where two partners are assigned to lead each engagement, we find that gender-diverse partner pairs improve audit quality compared same-gender pairs. We show positive effect of gender diversity is concentrated in engagements led by with similar seniority or collaborating as signatory for an engagement before clients complex operations. evaluate potential factors...
