Explaining international comovements of output and asset returns: The role of money and nominal rigidities
نویسنده
چکیده
Output and asset returns are highly positively correlated across the U.S. and the remaining major industrialized countries. Standard business cycle models that assume #exible prices and wages, in the real business cycle (RBC) tradition, have great di$culties explaining this fact. This paper presents a dynamic-optimizing stochastic general equilibrium model of a two-country world with sticky nominal prices and wages. The structure here generates cross-country correlations of output and returns that are markedly higher, and hence closer to the data, than the cross-country correlations that obtain when #exible prices and wages are assumed. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کاملMonetary Policy Analysis in an Open Economy with Incomplete Asset Markets
A dynamic stochastic general equilibrium monetary model with incomplete asset markets, nominal price rigidities and market imperfections is developed to shed light on the role of exchange rate and its relation with current account dynamics in the formulation of monetary policy. In the recent literature, labelled as new open economy macroeconomics (NOEM), the dynamics of current account do not m...
متن کاملLabour market search and monetary shocks
In recent years, dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models of monetary economies have focused on the role of nominal rigidities in affecting the economy’s adjustment to monetary policy and non-policy disturbances. While these rigidities appear important for understanding the impact nominal shocks have on such real variables as output and employment, models with only nominal rigiditie...
