Endogenous Banks’ Networks, Cascades and Systemic Risk
(2014-06-01)We develop a network model whose links are governed by banks' optmizing decisions and by an endogenous tâtonnement market adjustment. Banks in our model can default and engage in re-sales: risk is transmitted through direct ... -
Endogenous Grids in Higher Dimensions: Delaunay Interpolation and Hybrid Methods
(2016-04-18)This paper investigates extensions of the method of endogenous gridpoints (ENDGM) introduced by Carroll (2006) to higher dimensions with more than one continuous endogenous state variable. We compare three different ... -
Endogenous Retirement Behavior of Heterogeneous Households Under Pension Reforms
(2018-04-25)We propose a unified framework to measure the effects of different reforms of the pension system on retirement ages and macroeconomic indicators in the face of demographic change. A rich overlapping generations (OLG) model ... -
Euro Membership and Fiscal Reaction Functions
(2013-05-10)The paper uses fiscal reaction functions for a panel of euro-area countries to investigate whether euro membership has reduced the responsiveness of countries to shocks in the level of inherited debt compared to the period ... -
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Policies Against a Pandemic
(2020-11-12)We develop a novel empirical approach to identify the effectiveness of policies against a pandemic. The essence of our approach is the insight that epidemic dynamics are best tracked over stages, rather than over time. We ... -
Exit Strategies
(2014-04-01)We study alternative scenarios for exiting the post-crisis fiscal and monetary accommodation using a macromodel where banks choose their capital structure and are subject to runs. Under a Taylor rule, the post-crisis ... -
Financing Costs and the Efficiency of Public-Private Partnerships
(2020-11-18)The paper compares provision of public infrastructure via public-private partnerships (PPPs) with provision under government management. Due to soft budget constraints of government management, PPPs exert more effort and ... -
Fiscal Stimulus and Labor Market Flexibility
(2015-03-03)This paper investigates whether a fiscal stimulus implies a different impact for flexible and rigid labour markets. The analysis is done for 11 advanced OECD economies. Using quarterly data from 1999 to 2013, I estimate a ... -
Game-Theoretic Foundations of Monetary Equilibrium
(2013-09-30)Monetary theorists have advanced an intriguing notion: we exchange money to make up for a lack of enforcement, when it is difficult to monitor and sanction opportunistic behaviors. We demonstrate that, in fact, monetary ... -
How Economics Got it Wrong: Formalism, Equilibrium Modelling and Pseudo-Optimization in Banking Regulatory Studies
(2016-05-30)Since the outbreak of the financial crisis, the macro-prudential policy paradigm has gained increasing prominence (Bank of England, 2009; Bernanke, 2011). The dynamics of this shift in the economic discourse, and the reasons ... -
Idiosyncratic Risk, Aggregate Risk, and the Welfare Effects of Social Security
(2017-12-01)We ask whether a pay-as-you-go financed social security system is welfare improving in an economy with idiosyncratic productivity and aggregate business cycle risk. We show analytically that the whole welfare benefit from ... -
Incentive Effects from Write-down CoCo Bonds: An Empirical Analysis
(2018-05-01)Departing from the principle of absolute priority, CoCo bonds are particularly exposed to bank losses despite not having ownership rights. This paper shows the link between adverse CoCo design and their yields, confirming ... -
Informal Sector and Economic Development: The Credit Supply Channel
(2015-05-01)The standard view suggests that removing barriers to entry and improving judicial enforcement reduces informality and boosts investment and growth. However, a general equilibrium approach shows that this conclusion may ... -
Input-Output-Based Measures of Systemic Importance
(2013-08-01)The analyses of intersectoral linkages of Leontief (1941) and Hirschman (1958) provide a natural way to study the transmission of risk among interconnected banks and to measure their systemic importance. In this paper we ... -
Lighting up the Dark: Liquidity in the German Corporate Bond Market
(2018-09-17)"We study the impact of transparency on liquidity in OTC markets. We do so by providing an analysis of liquidity in a corporate bond market without trade transparency (Germany), and comparing our findings to a market with ... -
Macroprudential Policy in the Lab
(2018-12-20)Higher capital ratios are believed to improve system-wide financial stability through three main channels: (i) higher loss-absorption capacity, (ii) lower moral hazard, (iii) stabilization of the financial cycle if capital ... -
Mental Accounting in a Business Cycle Model
(2018-12-17)Motivated by the consumer behavior literature, this paper presents a new business cycle model in which consumers incur a pain of paying and neglect the opportunity costs of consumption. Although consumers maximize their ... -
Monetary Policy and Risk Taking
(2016-05-19)We assess the effects of monetary policy on bank risk to verify the existence of a risk-taking channel — monetary expansions inducing banks to assume more risk. We first present VAR evidence confirming that this channel ... -
Monetary Policy Implementation in an Interbank Network: Effects on Systemic Risk
(2014-03-26)This paper makes a conceptual contribution to the effect of monetary policy on financial stability. We develop a microfounded network model with endogenous network formation to analyze the impact of central banks' monetary ... -
Multiplex interbank networks and systemic importance: An application to European data
(2015-05-01)Research on interbank networks and systemic importance is starting to recognise that the web of exposures linking banks balance sheets is more complex than the single-layer-of-exposure approach. We use data on exposures ...
