VEHICLE CURRENCY*International Economic Review - Tập 54 Số 1 - Trang 97-133 - 2013
Michael B. Devereux, Shouyong Shi
Historically, the world economy has been dominated by a single currency accepted in the exchange of goods and assets among countries. In recent decades, the U.S. dollar has played this role. The dollar acts as a “vehicle currency” in the sense that agents in nondollar economies will generally engage in currency trade indirectly using the U.S. dollar instead of using direct bilateral trade ...... hiện toàn bộ
FROM INDIVIDUAL TO AGGREGATE LABOR SUPPLY: A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS BASED ON A HETEROGENEOUS AGENT MACROECONOMY*International Economic Review - Tập 47 Số 1 - Trang 1-27 - 2006
Yongsung Chang, Sun-Bin Kim
At the aggregate level, the labor‐supply elasticity depends on the reservation‐wage distribution. We present a model economy where workforce heterogeneity stems from idiosyncratic productivity shocks. The model economy exhibits the cross‐sectional earnings and wealth distributions that are comparable to those in the micro data. We find that the aggregate labor‐supply elasticity of such an ...... hiện toàn bộ
Can the Mortensen‐Pissarides Matching Model Match the Business‐Cycle Facts?International Economic Review - Tập 40 Số 4 - Trang 933-959 - 1999
Harold L. Cole, Richard Rogerson
We examine whether the Mortensen‐Pissarides matching model can account for the business‐cycle facts on employment, job creation, and job destruction. A novel feature of our analysis is its emphasis on the reduced‐form implications of the matching model. Our main finding is that the model can account for the business‐cycle facts, but only if the average duration of a nonemployment spell is ...... hiện toàn bộ
LIQUIDITY, MONETARY POLICY, AND UNEMPLOYMENT: A NEW MONETARIST APPROACHInternational Economic Review - Tập 60 Số 2 - Trang 1005-1025 - 2019
Mei Dong, Sylvia Xiaolin Xiao
AbstractWe discover a consumption channel of monetary policy in a model with money and government bonds. When the central bank withdraws government bonds (short‐term or long‐term) through open market operations, it lowers returns on bonds. The lower return has a direct negative impact on consumption by households that hold bonds and an indirect negative impact on c...... hiện toàn bộ
A Comparison of Multiple‐Unit All‐Pay and Winner‐Pay Auctions Under Incomplete Information*International Economic Review - Tập 43 Số 3 - Trang 675-708 - 2002
Yasar Barut, Dan Kovenock, Charles Noussair
This article examines the properties of independent‐private‐value all‐pay and winner‐pay auctions when there are multiple units sold. We study bidding behavior, efficiency, and revenue in a set of 23 experimental sessions. Our data show that the all‐pay auction and the winner‐pay auction are empirically revenue equivalent, though both yield higher revenue than the risk neutral Bayesian equ...... hiện toàn bộ
