    Using a modified version of the model presented by Belke and Gros (2007), we analyze the stability of adjustment in a currency union. Using econometric estimates for parameter values we check the stability conditions for the 11 original EMU countries and Greece. We found significant instability in the model for a large number of countries. We then simulate the adjustment process for some empirically observed parameter values and find that even for countries with relatively smooth adjustment, the adjustment to a price shock in EMU might take several decades. Keywords: EMU, convergence, stability Das Papier analysiert die Stabilität eines Anpassungsprozesses in einer Währungsunion. Dafür wird ein einfaches makroökonomisches Modell in der Tradition von Belke und Gros (2007) verwendet, das um Inflationspersistenz erweitert wird und mit Hilfe dessen analytisch Stabilitätsbedingungen ermittelt werden. Mit Hilfe von ökonometrischen Schätzungen wird in einem zweiten Schritt geprüft, inwieweit die Stabilitätsbedingungen in den 11 ursprünglichen Mitgliedsstaaten der Europäischen Währungsunion erfüllt sind. Dabei werden Anzeichen von Instabilität in einer Reihe von Ländern gefunden. In einer Simulation wird zudem gezeigt, dass selbst in einigen Ländern mit stabilen Anpassungspfaden die Anpassung auf einen Inflationsshock mehrere Jahrzehnte dauern kann.

    The development community agrees on the need to address conflict and fragility for global security and sustainable development. In such complex situations, programming should strive to include multiple actors at various levels of society. Although the use of private investment in fragile contexts has so far been low, the need to address the SDG funding gap makes innovative and more flexible financing methods worth considering. Official Development Aid remains critical, but blended finance can help enlarge the total resources available for development. This paper analyses the OECD-DAC statistics on amounts mobilised from the private sector by official development finance interventions, from 2012 to 2017, against the multidimensional lens presented in the OECD 2018 States of Fragility Framework. The data shows a positive relationship between blending opportunities and economic, political and environmental security. The amounts of private finance mobilised increase, as a country’s economic, political and environmental fragility decreases. The way blended finance interplays with societal fragility and security remains unclear, as these two dimensions exert more complex influence on the trade-off between perceived risks and anticipated returns, which typically guides private investors.

    This paper is aimed at revisiting monetary analysis in order to better understand erroneous choices in the conduct of monetary policy. According to the prevailing consensus, the market economy is intrinsically stable and is upset only by poor behaviour by government or the banking system. We maintain on the contrary that the economy is unstable and that achieving stability requires a discretionary economic policy. This position relies upon an analytical approach in which monetary and financial organisations are devices that help markets to function. In this perspective, which focuses on the heterogeneity of markets and agents, and, consequently, on the role of institutions in determining overall performance, it turns out that nominal rigidities and financial commitment offer the means to achieve economic stability. This is because they prevent successive, unavoidable disequilibria from becoming explosive.

    This paper analyzes financial intermediation chains in a search model with an endogenous intermediary sector. We show that the chain length and price dispersion among interdealer trades are decreasing in search cost, search speed, and market size but increasing in investors' trading needs. Using data from the U.S. corporate bond market, we find evidence broadly consistent with these predictions. Moreover, as search speed approaches infinity, the search equilibrium does not always converge to the centralized-market equilibrium: prices and allocation converge, but the trading volume might not. Finally, we analyze the multiplicity and stability of the equilibrium.

    We study optimal savings in continuous time with exogenous transitions between employment and unemployment as the only source of uncertainty in a small open economy. We prove the existence of an optimal consumption path. We exploit that the dynamics of consumption and wealth between jumps can be expressed as a Fuchsian system. We derive conditions under which an invariant joint distribution for the state variables, i.e., wealth and labour market status, exists and is unique. We also provide conditions under which the distribution of these variables converges to the invariant distribution. Our analysis relies on the notion of T-processes and applies results on the stability of Markovian processes from Meyn and Tweedie (1993a, b,c).

    This paper examines the stability of balanced paths of expansion or contraction in closed macroeconomic models as typical cases of homogeneous dynamical systems. Examples of known two-dimensional deterministic and stochastic models are discussed. The appendix presents the mathematical tools and concepts to prove the stability of expanding/contracting paths in homogeneous systems. These are described by so-called Perron-Frobenius solutions. Since convergence of orbits of homogeneous systems in intensive form is only a necessary condition for convergence in state space additional requirements are derived for the general n-dimensional case. For deterministic dynamic economies, as in most models of economic growth, of international trade, or monetary macro, conditions of existence and stability are obtained applying the features of the non-linear generalization of the Perron-Frobenius Theorem. In the stochastic case, the conditions for the stability of balanced paths are derived using a recent extension of the Perron-Frobenius Theorem provided by Evstigneev & Pirogov (2010) and Babaei, Evstigneev & Pirogov (2018).

    The literature on cartel stability sidelines antitrust policy, whereas the literature on antitrust policy tends to neglect issues of cartel stability. This paper attempts to connect these two interrelated aspects in the context of an augmented quantity leadership model. The cartel is the Stackelberg quantity leader and the fringe firms are in Cournot competition with respect to the residual demand. The antitrust authority decides on its own investigative effort and on the size of the fine that cartel members have to pay when they are detected. For testifying cartel members a leniency program is implemented. Our framework takes into account that these antitrust policy instruments are not costless for society. Our model demonstrates that the optimal antitrust policy exploits the inherent instability of a cartel to reduce its size.

    We consider an economy in which agents are embedded in a network of potential value-generating relationships. Agents are assumed to be able to participate in three types of economic interactions: Autarkic self-provision; bilateral interaction; and multilateral collaboration. We introduce two stability concepts and provide sufficient and neccessary conditions on the networks structure that guarantee existence, both in the absence of externalities from cooperation as well as under crowding conditions. We show that institutions such as socioeconomic roles and hierachical leadership structures are neccessary for stability. In particular, the stability of more complex economic outcomes requires more stringent restrictions on the underlying network which imply more complex institutional rules that govern economic interactions. Thus, we provide support for the theory of co-evolution of institutions and economic outcomes.

    A particular adaptation of Gale's top trading cycles procedure to school choice, the so-called TTC mechanism, has attracted much attention both in theory and practice due to its superior efficiency and incentive features. We discuss and introduce alternative adaptations of Gale's original procedure that can offer improvements over TTC in terms of equity along with various other distributional considerations. Instead of giving all the trading power to those students with the highest priority for a school, we argue for the distribution of the trading rights of all slots of each school among those who are entitled to a slot at that school, allowing them to trade in a thick market where additional constraints can be accommodated. We propose a particular mechanism of this kind, the Equitable Top Trading Cycles (ETTC) mechanism, which is also Pareto efficient and strategy-proof just like TTC and eliminates justified envy due to pairwise exchanges. Both in simulations and in the lab, ETTC generates significantly fewer number of justified envy situations than TTC.

    In diesem Aufsatz wird der ökonometrisch geschätzte Beitrag von Preisniveaustabilität, Beschäftigung und Wachstum zum subjektiven Wohlergehen (Well- Being) verwendet, um einen Erfolgsindex für die makroökonomische Performanz der EU12- Länder im Zeitraum 1990-2009 zu ermitteln. Durch einen solchen Index wird den makroökonomischen Präferenzen der EU-Bürger Rechnung getragen. Es zeigt sich, dass es über den gesamten Zeitraum eine relativ stabile Spitzengruppe, bestehend aus Luxemburg, den Niederlanden und Dänemark, gab. Dauerhaft zur Schlussgruppe gehörte Spanien, während Griechenland, Italien und Frankreich jeweils in zwei von vier Fünfjahreszeiträumen zur Schlussgruppe gehörten. Im Zeitablauf gab es eine kontinuierliche Verschlechterung der Position Deutschlands, das in der ersten Hälfte der 1990er Jahre zur Spitzen- und im Zeitraum 2005-2009 zur Schlussgruppe gehörte. In geringerem Maß verschlechterte sich die Position Frankreichs und Belgiens, während Großbritannien und Irland ihre Position verbesserten. This paper uses the econometrically estimated contributions of price stability, employment and growth to subjective well-being for an assessment of the macroeconomic performance of the EU12 countries in 1990-2009, thus accounting for the macroeconomic preferences of EU citizens. lt is found that Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Denmark were among the top performers over the entire time horizon. Spain was in the group of worst performing countries over the entire time horizon whereas Greece, Italy and France were among the worst performers in two out of four five-year periods. The position of Germany deteriorated continuously, from being among the top performers in the first half of the 1990s to being among the worst performers in 2005-2009. The positions of France and Belgium deteriorated to a smaller degree, whereas Great Britain and Ireland improved their positions.

    We investigate the formation of global climate agreements (= stable grand climate coalitions) in a model, in which climate policy takes the form of carbon emission taxation and fossil fuel and consumption goods are traded on world markets. We expand the model of Eichner and Pethig (2014) by considering countries that are identical within each of two groups but differ across groups with respect to climate damage or fossil fuel demand. Our numerical analysis suggests that climate damage asymmetry tends to discourage cooperation in the grand coalition. The effects of fuel-demand asymmetry depend on fossil fuel abundance. If fuel is very abundant, the grand coalition fails to be stable independent of the degree of fuel demand asymmetry. If fuel is sufficiently scarce, low degrees of fuel demand asymmetry discourage cooperation whereas higher degrees of asymmetry stabilize the grand coalition.

    Results of life satisfaction regressions for more than 91,000 individuals are used to investigate how the macroeconomic crisis of 2008-2009 has affected subjective well-being (SWB) in 30 OECD countries. In a number of countries, the effect of the crisis on a representative person's SWB is of a similar magnitude as the effects of the most important personal life events. Our findings highlight the importance of GDP fluctuations for SWB.

    We investigate the formation of global climate agreements (= stable grand climate coalitions) in a model, in which climate policy takes the form of carbon emission taxation and fossil fuel and consumption goods are traded on world markets. We expand the model of Eichner and Pethig (2014) by considering countries that are identical within each of two groups but differ across groups with respect to climate damage or fossil fuel demand. Our numerical analysis suggests that climate damage asymmetry tends to discourage cooperation in the grand coalition. The effects of fuel-demand asymmetry depend on fossil fuel abundance. If fuel is very abundant, the grand coalition fails to be stable independent of the degree of fuel demand asymmetry. If fuel is sufficiently scarce, low degrees of fuel demand asymmetry discourage cooperation whereas higher degrees of asymmetry stabilize the grand coalition.

    While European countries have engaged in a debate about fiscal policy rules, little is known about the ability of these rules to ensure stable debt and output paths when taxes are distortionary, particularly in a small open economy. In this situation, it turns out that the interaction between a fiscal rule and output may affect whether or not fiscal policy is stabilizing, or "passive", in equilibrium. For instance, under moderate debt-multiplier combinations, a debt-GDP targeting rule can result in instability, while a debt-level targeting rule, irrespective of GDP, can result in stability. A primary deficit target may result in instability for the debt but stability for output, while a total deficit target can result in stability for both debt and output. A fiscal reaction function similar to those found in the macro literature may result in stability for certain parameter values, so long as the response of fiscal policy to the past debt level is strong enough to overcome the interactions among fiscal policy, output, and interest rates. Furthermore, under certain conditions, optimal policy mimics a fiscal reaction function with a moderate degree of business cycle stabilization policy.

    Motivated by emission and resource markets, this paper considers repeated, bilateral barters between owners of commodity bundles, contingent claims, or property rights. Focus is on feasible, voluntary exchanges, driven only by differences in substitution rates. No coordination is ever needed. The modelling complies with adaptive learning, behavioral economics, and decentralized decision-making. Presuming transferable utility, the paper provides sufficient conditions for convergence to market equilibrium. It is expedient that some parties have differentiable objectives or make strictly feasible choices.

    This paper investigates the usefulness of the money demand relationship in times of unconventional monetary policies by cointegration methods. In contrast to the bulk of the literature, evidence in favour of a stable long run money demand function is presented both for the US and the euro area. Results are based on standard monetary aggregates, i.e. MZM for the US and M3 in case of the euro area. The recent monetary policy shifts towards unconventional measures did not introduce instability in the relationships. The results suggest that money balances are still useful instruments to conduct monetary policy especially in periods where the nominal interest rates are at the zero lower bounds.
