The devil's in the tail: residential mortgage finance and the U.S. Treasury
White, Lawrence J.; Frame, W. Scott; Wall, Larry D. (2012)
This paper seeks to contribute to the U.S. housing finance reform conversation by providing a critical assessment of the various types of policy proposals that have been offered. There appears to be a broad consensus to maintain explicit government guarantees for certain narrowly defined borrower populations, such as Federal Housing Administration insurance guarantees for low- and moderate-income and first-time homebuyers. However, the expected role of the federal government in the broader housing finance system is in dispute. The expected role ranges from no role to insuring against only ...

Preface--Venture capital and technology: What's next?
Wheatley, Anna C. (2002-10)
During the 1990s venture capitalists transformed entrepreneurs into corporate entities, and these companies in turn have funded increased productivity that has helped to accelerate U.S. economic growth. This success has spawned an interest in tracking information about the industry. These new resources provide an important perspective for understanding how venture capital works.

Forecasts of inflation and interest rates in no-arbitrage affine models
Wei, Bin; Gospodinov, Nikolay (2016-02-01)
In this paper, we examine the forecasting ability of an affine term structure framework that jointly models the markets for Treasuries, inflation-protected securities, inflation derivatives, and oil future prices based on no-arbitrage restrictions across these markets. On the methodological side, we propose a novel way of incorporating information from these markets into an affine model. On the empirical side, two main findings emerge from our analysis. First, incorporating information from inflation options can often produce more accurate inflation forecasts than those based on the Survey of ...

Minimal state variable solutions to Markov-switching rational expectations models
Zha, Tao; Waggoner, Daniel F.; Farmer, Roger E. A. (2008)
We develop a new method for computing minimal state variable solutions (MSV) to Markov-switching rational expectations models. We provide an algorithm to compute an MSV solution and show how to test a given solution for uniqueness and boundedness. We construct an example that is calibrated to U.S. data and show that the MSV solution in our example is unique. This solution can potentially explain in three different ways the observed reduction in the variance of inflation and the interest rate after 1980: The policy rule might have changed, the variance of the fundamental shocks might have ...

Comment on Eggertsson, \"What fiscal policy is effective at zero interest rates?\"
Christiano, Lawrence J. (2010)
Gauti B. Eggertsson's paper (published in NBER Macroeconomics Annual 2010) represents an important contribution to the analysis of fiscal policy in the New Keynesian model when the zero lower bound on the nominal interest rate is binding. The paper accomplishes a great deal. It analyzes two types of taxes on capital and labor, the investment tax credit, a sales tax, and two types of government spending. It deserves to be an important reference on fiscal policy in a binding zero lower bound. In my discussion, I focus on the subset of Eggertsson's results that initially surprised me and that I ...

Energy price shocks and the macroeconomy: the role of consumer durables
Dhawan, Rajeev; Jeske, Karsten (2006)
So far, the literature on dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models with energy price shocks uses energy on the production side only. In these models, energy shocks are responsible for only a negligible share of output fluctuations. We study the robustness of this finding by explicitly modeling private consumption of energy at the household level in addition to energy use at the firm level to account for total energy use in the economy. Additionally, we distinguish between investment in consumer durables and investment in capital goods. The model economy is calibrated to match total ...
