The link between US labor cost and price inflation has weakened notably over the past three decades. In this paper we document decline analyse potential contributing factors. We consider four important trends that have shaped economy of late: (i) improved anchoring expectations; (ii) changing constellation shocks hitting economy; (iii) increased trade integration (iv) rising firm market power. ...

This paper develops a dynamic, stochastic, general-equilibrium (DSGE) model for the Canadian economy and evaluates the real effects of monetary policy shocks. To generate high and persistent real effects, the model combines nominal frictions in the form of costly price adjustment with real rigidities modelled as convex costs of adjusting capital and employment. The structural parameters identif...

The gold standard was quite stable in the past: price level changes were relatively small, and trade cycles mild. However, its past stability does not guarantee nowadays. We show that of to shocks stemming from world market depends critically on size monetary stock relative extent these shocks. Every change decreasing lowers stability. discuss some consequences thesis too: first, any system eco...

this paper estimates a structural cointegrating varx model with exogenous variables for iran. the long-run macroeconomic relationships are identified and tested within this framework. we make use of the generalized forecast error variance decomposition to analyze the dynamic properties of the model in response to different shocks. we also examine via the persistence profiles, the speed of adjus...

regarding the decentralization of credits management, this study examined the effect of fiscal policies on gross domestic product of the iranian provinces over the period 2001-2009. therefore, we used dynamic panel data and employed gmm-sys method to examine the model. the results show that the government expenditure and tax multiplier coefficients are less than one in short - run but greater t...

this paper extends endogenous growth models through augmenting it with government budget and oil revenues as well as the effect of public investment efficiency on long run growth of private and government consumption and import for an oil producing economy. based on the extracted model, the optimal growth rate of government current expenditure (or consumption) has a positive relation with the e...

this paper investigates the impact of oil revenues on the output of economic sectors in some of oil exporting countries including iran, venezuela and mexico. we use cointegration analysis as well as short run and long run granger casualties' tests. the results show that in the long run, an oil boom leads to expansion of service sector, in these countries. also, the impacts of oil revenues ...

This paper studies non-cooperative monetary policy in a two country general equilibrium model where international economic integration is endogenised through firm-level heterogeneity and monopolistic competition. Economic integration between countries is a source of policy competition, generating higher long-run inflation, and increased gains from monetary cooperation. JEL codes: E31, E52, F41 ...

this study is an attempt to develop a model of the simultaneous structure of the aggregate dynamic supply and demand to be used for estimation of parameters from data related to iran’s economy. the method for developing the model is an application of the dynamic and simultaneous process of aggregate supply and demand. obtained differential equations are used for solve the model. to estimate the...
