the financial crisis of 2007 showed that the impact of financial markets on macroeconomic developments is deep. the labor market was affected by financial variables. this paper extends the new keynesian model of a stochastic dynamic general equilibrium (dsge) for the iran economy in three context of an open economy, consider a financial frictions and frictions labor market, the impact of financ...

We study the role of agency frictions and costly external finance in cyclical labor market dynamics, with a focus on how credit-market frictions may amplify aggregate TFP shocks. The main result is that aggregate TFP shocks lead to large fluctuations of labor market quantities if the model is calibrated to the empirically observed countercyclicality of the finance premium. A financial accelerat...

What are the effects of financial market imperfections on the fluctuations in unemployment and vacancies in the labor market? Standard DSGE models are silent about this since they have not modeled unemployment directly. In this paper I augment a standard monetary DSGE model with explicit financial and labor market frictions. The financial frictions are modeled as Bernanke, Gertler and Gilchrist...

My research employs theoretical modeling and quantitative analysis to study the interaction between market frictions and risks in the areas of Banking and Asset Pricing. Specifically, I examine how frictions in contracting and search affect systemic risk and asset prices. Sparked by the recent crisis, linkages among financial firms are identified as a major source of systemic risk. In chapter o...

In this paper we investigate macroeconomic dynamics in the presence of frictions in both labor and credit markets. On the basis of the macroeconomic model in Merz (1995) with labor market frictions and capital accumulation, our paper offers an extension to frictions in credit markets which, analogously, are modeled as a search-and-matching process. Using the Merz model as limit case, we conside...

This paper studies the effects of changes in collateral requirements on the cyclical properties of unemployment and job creation. I develop a general equilibrium model in which labor market frictions prevent the costless adjustment of employment. Financial frictions arise from an imperfect enforcement contract. An environment in which borrowing limits are linked to the firm's physical capital s...

We build a hybrid model of the aggregate labor market that features both standard labor supply forces and frictions in order to study the cyclical properties of gross worker flows across the three labor market states: employment, unemployment, and nonparticipation. Our goal is to assess the relative importance of frictions and labor supply in accounting for fluctuations in labor market outcomes...

Commonly used frictional models of the labor market imply that changes in frictions have large effects on steady state employment and unemployment. We use a model that features both frictions and an operative labor supply margin to examine the robustness of this feature to the inclusion of a empirically reasonable labor supply channel. The response of unemployment to changes in frictions is sim...

Can we use neoclassical growth model to single out the important transmission channels through which primitives a¤ected the Indian economy and caused the remarkable growth of the period 1982 to 2002? In this paper, we answer the question by applying the new technique of business cycle accounting to the Indian economy. Business cycle accounting procedure is based on the idea that primitives a¤ec...
