    • Counterfeiting as private money in mechanism design 

      Cavalcanti, Ricardo de Oliveira; Nosal, Ed
      2011-10
      We describe counterfeiting activity as the issuance of private money, one that is difficult to monitor. Our approach, which amends the basic random-matching model of money in mechanism design, allows a tractable welfare ...
    • Efficient propagation of shocks and the optimal return on money 

      Cavalcanti, Ricardo de Oliveira; Erosa, Andrés
      2008-09
      We study optimal allocations in an environment in which money is essential due to lack of commitment and anonymity of individuals. Because the economy features aggregate preference shocks, we apply a notion of implementability ...
    • Liquidity, money creation and destruction, and the returns to banking 

      Cavalcanti, Ricardo de Oliveira; Erosa, Andrés; Temzelides, Ted
      2005-05
      We build on our earlier model of money in which bank liabilities circulate as a medium of exchange. We investigate optimal bank behavior and the resulting provision of liquidity under a range of central bank regulations. ...
    • Run theorems for low returns and large banks 

      Bertolai, Jefferson Donizeti Pereira; Cavalcanti, Ricardo de Oliveira; Monteiro, P. K.
      2014-10
      In this paper, we revisit the issue of bank fragility in the Diamond and Dybvig (J Polit Econ 91:401-419, 1983) model with sequential service and finite traders. We provide a precise condition under which banks are susceptible ...
    • Stationarity without degeneracy in a model of commodity money 

      Cavalcanti, Ricardo de Oliveira; Puzzello, Daniela
      2010-05
      We develop a model of macroeconomic heterogeneity inspired by the Kiyotaki-Wright (J Polit Econ 97:924-954, 1989) formulation of commodity money, with the addition of linear utility and idiosyncratic shocks to savings. We ...
    • A theory of capital gains taxation and business turnover 

      Cavalcanti, Ricardo de Oliveira; Erosa, Andrés
      2007-09
      We present a theory concerning the realization of capital gains where ownership and control are linked as in Holmes and Schmitz (J. Pol. Econ. 103: 1005-1038, 1995). The model developed is a version of a Lucas-tree economy ...
