This study explores optimal monetary policy in an economy with seasonal wage staggering. The findings reveal that the slope of the Phillips curve and the weights in the welfare loss function systematically differ by quarter. Consequently, optimal policy responses vary depending on the timing of shocks within a calendar year. However, implementing history-dependent policy rules can effectively mitigate much of the welfare deterioration that would otherwise occur when policymakers fail to adopt these quarter-specific optimal policy responses.
本研究探讨了季节性工资不平衡经济中的最优货币政策。研究结果表明,菲利普斯曲线的斜率和福利损失函数的权重系统地按四分之一变化。因此,最优的政策反应取决于一个日历年内冲击发生的时间。然而,实施与历史相关的政策规则可以有效地缓解福利恶化,否则,当政策制定者未能采取这些针对特定季度的最佳政策反应时,就会发生这种恶化。

Firm dynamics and random search over the business cycle 商业周期中的企业动态和随机搜索

I build a tractable random search model with firm dynamics, on-the-job search, and aggregate shocks. Multi-worker firms make recruitment decisions, choose whether to enter or exit the market, and design wage contracts. Tractability is obtained by showing that, under a set of assumptions on the recruitment technology, the decisions of workers and firms are fully summarized by the firms’ current productivity. I confront the model to salient business cycle moments on the reallocation of workers across the firm productivity distribution derived from firm-level data that the model successfully replicates. I use this framework to quantify the drivers of worker reallocation over the post-war business cycle in Britain.
我建立了一个可处理的随机搜索模型,包括公司动态、在职搜索和总冲击。多工人企业做出招聘决策,选择是否进入或退出市场,并设计工资合同。通过证明在一组关于招聘技术的假设下,工人和企业的决策完全由企业当前的生产率来总结,从而获得可追溯性。我将模型与企业生产率分配中工人再分配的显著商业周期时刻进行对比,这些分配来自于模型成功复制的企业层面数据。我使用这个框架来量化战后英国商业周期中工人再分配的驱动因素。

Motivating banks to lend? Credit spillover effects of the Main Street Lending Program 激励银行放贷?普通民众贷款计划的信贷溢出效应

We study the effects of the Main Street Lending Program (MSLP)—a Federal Reserve emergency program which sought to support bank lending to small- and medium-sized businesses by purchasing 95% of eligible loans from banks—on the provision of bank credit to non-financial firms. We show the MSLP increased banks’ willingness to lend outside the program by serving as an “implicit backstop.” Participating banks were more likely to grant new loans, increase loan volumes, and reduce loan spreads, with stronger effects for ex-ante riskier firms and for lower-capital banks. We estimate that every $1 of take-up increased lending by $1.95.
我们研究了主要街道贷款计划(MSLP)对非金融公司银行信贷提供的影响。MSLP是美联储的紧急计划,旨在通过购买银行95%的合格贷款来支持银行对中小企业的贷款。我们表明,MSLP通过充当“隐性支持”,提高了银行在该计划之外放贷的意愿。参与的银行更有可能发放新贷款,增加贷款规模,并缩小贷款息差,这对风险较高的公司和低资本银行的影响更大。我们估计,每增加1美元,就会增加1.95美元的贷款。

Dissecting the great retirement boom 剖析退休潮

Between 2020 and 2023, the fraction of retirees in the working-age population in the U.S. increased above its pre-pandemic trend. Several explanations have been proposed to rationalize this gap, including increases in net worth, the deterioration of the labor market with higher job separations, the expansion of fiscal transfer programs, and higher mortality risk. We develop an incomplete markets, overlapping generations model with a frictional labor market to quantitatively study the interaction of these factors and decompose their contributions to the rise in retirements. We find that new retirements were concentrated at the bottom of the income distribution, and the most important factors driving the rise in retirements were higher job separations and the expansion of fiscal transfers. We show that our model’s predictions on aggregate labor market moments and cross-sectional moments on retirement patterns across income and wealth distributions are in line with the data.
2020年至2023年期间,美国工作年龄人口中退休人员的比例高于疫情前的趋势。人们提出了几种解释来合理化这一差距,包括净资产的增加、劳动力市场的恶化与更高的离职率、财政转移计划的扩大以及更高的死亡风险。我们建立了一个不完全市场、代与代重叠的模型和一个摩擦劳动力市场,定量研究了这些因素的相互作用,并分解了它们对退休人数上升的贡献。我们发现,新退休人员集中在收入分配的底部,推动退休人数上升的最重要因素是离职率的上升和财政转移的扩大。我们表明,我们的模型对总劳动力市场时刻和收入和财富分配中退休模式的横截面时刻的预测与数据一致。

Inequality and asset prices during Sudden Stops 突然止损期间的不平等和资产价格
IF 4.1 2区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-20 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmoneco.2025.103872

This paper studies the cross-sectional dimension of Fisher’s debt-deflation mechanism that triggers endogenous Sudden Stop crises — i.e., episodes with large reversals in the current account. Analyzing microdata from Mexico, we show that this dimension has macroeconomic implications that operate via opposing effects. First, an amplifying effect by which households with high leverage fire-sale their assets during crises, increasing downward pressure on asset prices. Second, a dampening effect by which wealthy households with low leverage buy depressed assets, relieving downward pressure on asset prices. As a result, the role of inequality during crises is ambiguous. We conduct a quantitative analysis using a calibrated small open economy, asset-pricing model with heterogeneous agents and aggregate risk to measure the effects of inequality during crises. The model suggests that economies with lower inequality, whether due to reduced idiosyncratic risk or wealth redistribution across agents, experience less severe crises, as observed in the data.
本文研究了费雪的债务-通缩机制的横截面维度,该机制触发了内源性骤停危机——即经常账户出现大幅逆转的事件。通过分析墨西哥的微观数据,我们发现这一维度通过相反的效应对宏观经济产生影响。首先是一种放大效应,即高杠杆家庭在危机期间甩卖资产,加大了资产价格的下行压力。其次,低杠杆的富裕家庭购买低迷资产的抑制效应,缓解了资产价格的下行压力。因此,不平等在危机中的作用是模糊的。我们使用校准的小型开放经济、具有异质主体和总风险的资产定价模型进行定量分析,以衡量危机期间不平等的影响。该模型表明,正如数据所观察到的那样,不平等程度较低的经济体(无论是由于特殊风险降低,还是由于代理人之间的财富再分配)经历的危机较轻。

Generating inflation expectations with large language models 使用大型语言模型生成通胀预期

This paper studies the generation of inflation expectations using generative AI in survey experiments, examining diverse agents created with both proprietary and open-source large language models (LLMs). It shows that model architecture significantly impacts expectations, with proprietary models generally exhibiting less disagreement in their responses than open-source alternatives. Some LLMs predict higher inflation than actual rates, aligning with patterns observed in the Survey of Consumer Expectations. Information treatments, particularly forward guidance on inflation, influence LLMs’ inflation expectations, though with varying magnitudes across model types. Customizing prompts with demographic personas induces heterogeneous responses that mirror human survey behaviors, with some biases similar to those documented in household surveys. The paper also demonstrates how central banks could leverage these models as communication policy tools to test messaging strategies before implementation.
本文在调查实验中使用生成式人工智能研究了通胀预期的生成,研究了由专有和开源大型语言模型(llm)创建的各种代理。它表明模型体系结构显著地影响期望,专有模型通常比开源替代方案在响应中表现出更少的分歧。一些法学硕士预测通货膨胀率将高于实际水平,这与消费者预期调查中观察到的模式一致。信息处理,特别是关于通胀的前瞻指导,影响法学硕士的通胀预期,尽管不同模型类型的影响程度不同。使用人口统计人物角色定制提示会引起反映人类调查行为的异质反应,其中有些偏差与家庭调查中记录的类似。本文还展示了央行如何利用这些模型作为沟通政策工具,在实施之前测试消息传递策略。

Lender concentration of external debts and sudden stops 贷款人外债集中而突然停止
IF 4.1 2区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmoneco.2025.103874

This paper studies how the lender structure of external debt affects open economies’ credit conditions via a model with lenders of varying sizes. While atomistic lenders take the collateral price as given, large lenders internalize the pecuniary externality whereby selling foreclosed collateral injects supply and reduces its price. Thus, concentrating external debt in a few large lenders supports a high collateral price during financial downturns, leading borrowers to demand less precautionary savings and overborrow. I document that emerging countries borrow from significantly fewer banks than advanced countries, implying that emerging countries tend to overborrow. This new mechanism complements the existing view of overborrowing due to the pecuniary externality of the borrowers. Under plausible parameterization, the size of the pecuniary externality internalized by lenders is two-thirds of that internalized by borrowers. Finally, allowing lender countries to optimally choose lender structure increases lender concentration, raises debt, and improves borrowers’ welfare.
本文通过一个具有不同规模出借人的模型,研究了外债出借人结构如何影响开放经济体的信贷状况。当原子贷款人将抵押品价格视为给定时,大型贷款人将货币外部性内部化,通过出售止赎抵押品注入供应并降低其价格。因此,在金融低迷时期,将外债集中在少数几家大型银行会支持较高的抵押品价格,导致借款人要求减少预防性储蓄和过度借贷。我的研究表明,新兴国家从银行借款的数量明显少于发达国家,这意味着新兴国家往往会过度借贷。这种新机制补充了现有的观点,即过度借贷是由于借款人的货币外部性造成的。在合理的参数化下,贷款人内化的货币外部性规模是借款人内化的三分之二。最后,允许出借国对出借方结构进行最优选择,可以提高出借方的集中度,增加债务,并改善借款人的福利。

Bridging micro and macro production functions: The fiscal multiplier of infrastructure investment 衔接微观与宏观生产功能:基础设施投资的财政乘数

This paper investigates the fiscal multiplier of infrastructure investment using an estimated heterogeneous-firm general equilibrium model. We theoretically and quantitatively show that the firm-level non-rivalry in infrastructure usage drives a significant discrepancy in the estimated input elasticities between the firm and state levels. Moreover, it microfounds the increasing returns to scale assumption in a representative-agent framework (Baxter and King, 1993). The quantitative findings indicate a fiscal multiplier of approximately 1.15 over a 2-year horizon, suggesting a significantly greater net economic benefit than the representative-agent model prediction. This is due to the low sensitivity of the firm-level investment to the general equilibrium effect, followed by a significantly dampened crowding out.
本文利用估计的异质企业一般均衡模型研究了基础设施投资的财政乘数。我们从理论上和定量上表明,企业在基础设施使用方面的非竞争导致了企业和州之间估计的投入弹性的显著差异。此外,它还在代表-代理框架中微观发现了规模收益递增假设(Baxter and King, 1993)。定量研究结果表明,在2年的时间跨度内,财政乘数约为1.15,这表明净经济效益明显高于代表性代理模型的预测。这是由于企业层面的投资对一般均衡效应的敏感性较低,其次是明显抑制的挤出效应。

Soft landing and inflation scares 软着陆和通胀恐慌

We discuss the timing and strength of the Fed’s reaction to the recent inflation surge within an estimated macroeconomic model where long-run inflation expectations are heterogeneous and can lose their anchoring to the target. The resulting inflation scare worsens the real cost of disinflation. We derive a closed-form solution that retains the entire time-varying cross-sectional distribution of subjective inflation beliefs. We estimate the model using Bayesian techniques on both US macroeconomic time series and forecast data from the Survey of Professional Forecasters. Counterfactual simulations show that the timing – rather than the strength – of the policy reaction to the inflation surge is critical to contain the development of an inflation scare and prevent the entrenchment of above-target inflation. We show that the Fed fell behind the curve in 2021 since an earlier tightening could have reduced the inflation peak without triggering a recession. However, further delays would have unanchored inflation expectations, aggravated the inflation scare and strengthened the inflation surge, resulting in larger output losses.
我们在一个估计的宏观经济模型中讨论了美联储对最近通胀飙升的反应时机和力度,在这个模型中,长期通胀预期是异质的,可能会失去对目标的锚定。由此产生的通胀恐慌加剧了反通胀的实际成本。我们得到了一个封闭形式的解,它保留了主观膨胀信念的整个时变截面分布。我们使用贝叶斯技术对美国宏观经济时间序列和专业预测者调查的预测数据进行模型估计。反事实的模拟表明,对通胀飙升做出政策反应的时机——而非力度——对于遏制通胀恐慌的发展和防止通胀高于目标水平的巩固至关重要。我们表明,美联储在2021年落后于曲线,因为早些时候的紧缩本可以在不引发衰退的情况下降低通胀峰值。然而,进一步的拖延将会动摇通胀预期,加剧通胀恐慌,加剧通胀飙升,导致更大的产出损失。

We propose a novel explanation for persistent movements in the natural rate of interest, or r-star, based on a model of two-sided learning between the central bank and the private sector. Each side has some information about r-star fundamentals and also learns from observing output, inflation and interest rates. When both sides fail to recognise that their actions influence the other’s beliefs, a “hall-of-mirrors” effect arises that causes persistent shifts in r-star in response to cyclical shocks. The model can explain the post-2008 decline in r-star without changes in long-run fundamentals, as well as the excess sensitivity of long-term yields to monetary policy surprises and the underreaction of interest rate forecasts. Aggressive policy easing designed to counter a recession can inadvertently lower r-star and endogenously narrow policy space.
我们基于央行和私营部门之间的双边学习模型,对自然利率(r-star)的持续波动提出了一种新颖的解释。双方都有一些关于r-star基本面的信息,也从观察产出、通货膨胀和利率中学习。当双方都未能认识到自己的行为会影响对方的信念时,就会出现“镜子大厅”效应,导致r-star在周期性冲击下持续变化。该模型可以在不改变长期基本面的情况下解释2008年后r-star的下跌,以及长期收益率对货币政策意外的过度敏感和利率预测的反应不足。旨在应对衰退的激进宽松政策可能会无意中降低r-star,并内在地缩小政策空间。
