Ebook Incomplete Markets, Small Open Economy Monetary Policy and Equilibrium Determinacy

Submitted by puput on Fri, 04/15/2011 - 04:32

Why should small open economy monetary authorities care about international exchange rates? Is there a justification for managing exchange rates, and what is its connection to incomplete international risk sharing of country-specific shocks? In practice, in many small open economies with floating exchange rate regimes, the dynamics of the exchange rate matters for monetary policy design. Yet we have not fully understood when monetary policy design can yield equilibrium stability when the dynamics of the exchange rate cannot be decoupled from inflation and output gap in an equilibrium characterization.

Ebook The Euro Changeover and Price Adjustments in Italy

Submitted by puput on Sat, 03/19/2011 - 04:15

On the 1st of January 1999, national currencies were replaced by the euro in eleven European countries. According to some economists, the switch to euro-denominated prices for goods and services (the euro changeover) did not amount to a mere change of the numeraire for current transactions: it could also have generated speculative behaviour, through the implicit coordination of price setters towards higher price equilibria, as a result of money illusion or market imperfections (Fehr and Tyran, 2001; 2007).

Ebook Inflation, Stock Prices and Real Earnings in Emerging Markets: Friedman Was Right

Submitted by puput on Tue, 01/11/2011 - 06:28

A number of studies fail in finding evidence for real channels when trying to explain the negative correlation between inflation and real stock prices. In this paper I find strong support for real channels in Emerging Markets (EMs). In particular, I find that inflation is negatively related to earning growth rates. The results give support to the idea of inflation imposing real costs on the economy, as originally claimed by Friedman. At the same time, the findings cast doubt on the need to build on behavioural explanations, as initially suggested by Modigliani and Cohn (1979).
