چکیده
The simulated results of this paper show that New Keynesian DSGE models with capital accumulation can generate substantial persistencies in the dynamics of the main economic variables, due to the stock nature of capital. Empirical estimates on U.S. data from 1960:I to 2008:I show the response of monetary policy to inflation was almost twice lower than traditionally considered, as capital accumulation creates an additional channel of influence through real interest rates in the production sector. Versions of the model with indeterminacy empirically outperform determinate versions. This paper allows for the reconsideration of previous findings and has significant monetary policy implications.

Solving and Estimating Indeterminate DSGE Models; by Roger Farmer and Vadim Khramov; IMF Working Paper 13/200; October 1, 2013
We propose a method for solving and estimating linear rational expectations models that exhibit indeterminacy and we provide step-by-step guidelines for implementing this method in the Matlab-based packages Dynare and Gensys. Our method redefines a subset of expectational errors as new fundamentals. This redefinition allows us to treat indeterminate models as determinate and to apply standard s...
متن کاملAsymmetric Effects of the Financial Crisis: Collateral-Based Investment-Cash Flow Sensitivity Analysis; by Vadim Khramov; IMF Working Paper 12/97; April 1, 2012
This paper uses the financial crisis of 2008 as a natural experiment to demonstrate that when measuring investment-cash flow sensitivity, the value of a firm‟s assets that can be used as collateral should be taken into account. Using panel data on U.S. firms from 1990 to 2011, it was found that the share of physical capital in assets has a strong influence on investment-cash flow sensitivity, w...
متن کاملAppropriate Labor income and Capital gain tax rates functions extraction based on Overlapping Generation Models: Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) approach
In this study, using the overlapping generation (OLG (model and the Stochastic Dynamic General Equilibrium (DSGE) approach, the optimal form of labor income tax rate and capital income tax functions is extracted for the economy of Iran using annual time series data during 1357 to 1397. The results of comparing the calibration and simulation of the designed model show that the optimal functions ...

متن کاملIntroduction: Monetary Policy and Capital Accumulation
The papers in this symposium address the issue of multiple equilibria that can be induced by monetary policy in models with capital accumulation. In particular they examine how the “Taylor Principle,” under which interest rates respond more than proportionately to increases in inflation, can generate multiple equilibria. They also explore the design of policies to avoid the problem of multiple ...
