Liquidity Provision, Interest Rates, and Unemployment
This paper develops a continuous-time model of the public and private provision of liquidity and its relation to unemployment. We extend the Mortensen-Pissarides model of the labor market by adding an over-the-counter (OTC) market where trades are collateralized with claims on rmspro ts and public liabilities backed by taxes. As a result, the real interest rate is endogenous and depends on th...
متن کاملLiquidity Deflation and Liquidity Trap under Flexible Prices
I discuss some simple microfoundations for Liquidity Deflation, a concept put forward in Calvo (2016 a and b), which can give rise to liquidity trap conditions under perfectly flexible prices. Unlike in Keynes (1936), this is a Supply Side Liquidity Trap. Moreover, modeling the policy interest rate as the rate of return on money-like instruments à la Calvo and Végh (1995), denoted by i!, I show...
متن کاملOil Shocks and the Zero Bound on Nominal Interest Rates
Beginning in 2009, in many advanced economies, policy rates reached their zero lower bound (ZLB). Almost at the same time, oil prices started rising again. We analyze how the ZLB affects the propagation of oil shocks. As these shocks move inflation and output in opposite directions, their effects on economic activity are cushioned when monetary policy is constrained. The burst of inflation from...

The model features a centralized bonds market with limited participation and a decentralized goods market with random matches. In a fraction of matches, buyers can use unmatured bonds together with money to purchase goods. In other matches, a legal restriction forbi...
متن کاملSupply-Side Liquidity Trap, Deflation Bias and Flat Phillips Curve

Moreover, Liquidity Deflation is shown to imply defla...
