The non-linear nature of country risk and its implications for DSGE models

Intergenerational redistributive effects of monetary policy
Bielecki, Marcin; Brzoza-Brzezina, Michał; Kolasa, Marcin (2021-03)This paper investigates the distributional consequences of monetary policy across generations. We use a life-cycle model with a rich asset structure as well as nominal and real rigidities calibrated to the euro area using ... -
