Pricing behavior and the role of trade openness in the transmission of monetary shocks (2018)
Journal Article

Using a New Keynesian open eco... Read More about Pricing behavior and the role of trade openness in the transmission of monetary shocks.

Can indeterminacy and self-fulfilling expectations solve the international macro puzzles? (2017)
Preprint / Working Paper

We introduce equilibrium indeterminacy into a two-country incomplete asset model with imperfect competition and analyze whether self-fulfilling expectations or beliefs can help resolve the major puzzles of international business cycles. We show that... Read More about Can indeterminacy and self-fulfilling expectations solve the international macro puzzles?.

We introduce equilibrium indeterminacy into a two-country incomplete asset model with imperfect competition and analyze whether self-fulfilling, belief-driven fluctuations (i.e., sunspot shocks) can help resolve the major puzzles of international bus...

If the elasticities of substitution between traded and nontraded and between Home and Foreign traded goods are sufficiently low, then the real exchange rate generated by a model with full producer currency pricing is as volatile as in the data. © 201...

Does Asia’s choice of exchange rate regime affect Europe’s exposure to US shocks? (2011)
Journal Article

In this paper we use a stylised three-country model to analyse how the transmission of US shocks to Europe might be affected by Asia’s choice of exchange rate regime. We find that if Asia pegs her exchange rate to the dollar, the impact of US shocks... Read More about Does Asia’s choice of exchange rate regime affect Europe’s exposure to US shocks?.
