摘要：This paper extends the analytical framework provided by Glick and Rogoff (1995. Journal of Monetary Economics 35, 159-192) to an economy with traded and nontraded goods, and it analyzes the impact of country-specific and global productivity shocks on the current account and investment. Each of these disturbances have different implications for the current account and investment that are largely consistent with the empirical results. First, the current account responds more than investment to c...

摘要：This paper analyzes the effects of inflation variability on economic growth in a model where money is introduced via a cash-in-advance constraint. In this setting, we find that inflation adversely affects long-run growth, even when the cash-in-advance constraint applies only to consumption. At the same time, we find that inflation and growth are positively related in the short run. Furthermore, variability increases average growth through a precautionary savings motive. Since inflation and inf...

摘要：Using long, low frequency data on money and output over 1884-1996 for Argentina and over 1912-1995 for Brazil, it is found that money is long-run neutral but not long-run superneutral with regard to real output. A rise in money growth is associated with a decline in output - the opposite of the Tobin effect. The introduction of dummy variables for 1930s or to capture recent periods of financial disruption associated with bank insolvencies does not restore long-run superneutrality for either co...

摘要：We examine the effect of introducing a specific type of price stickiness into a stochastic growth model, subject to a cash in advance constraint. As in previous studies, we find the introduction of price rigidities provides a substantial source of monetary non-neutrality which contributes significantly to output volatility. We show that the introduction of this form of sticky prices improves the model's performance at explaining inflation but worsens it for output. The most dramatic failure of...
