    • Asymmetric transmission of a bank liquidity shock 

      Schiozer, Rafael Felipe; Oliveira, Raquel de Freitas
      2016-08
      We investigate whether banks that receive a positive liquidity shock make up for the reduction in the amount of credit supplied by banks that suffer a negative liquidity shock. For identification, we use the exogenous shock ...
    • Conventional and unconventional monetary policy with endogenous collateral constraints 

      Araújo, Aloísio Pessoa de; Schommer, Susan; Woodford, Michael

      We consider the effects of central bank purchases of a risky asset as an additional dimension of policy alongside 'conventional' interest rate policy in a general-equilibrium model of asset pricing with endogenous collateral ...

      Araujo, Luis Fernando Oliveira de; Camargo, Bráz Ministério de
      2015-05
      Monetary theory emphasizes that imperfect monitoring is necessary for money to be essential, that is, for money to achieve socially desirable allocations. Little is known about how limited monitoring must be if money is ...

      In this article, we formulate linear Gaussian state space models for the estimation of the exchange rate pass-through of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar, using monthly data from August 1999 to August 2008. The ...
    • 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 ...
    • Welfare and inequality with hard-to-tax markets 

      Arbex, Marcelo Aarestru; Mattos, Enlinson; Ogura, Laudo M.
      2015-09
      This paper examines welfare implications of hard-to-tax markets, which are endogenously determined by tax enforcement costs. We show that social welfare may be maximized by keeping some markets untaxed, even when it is ...
