Working Paper
Credit Guarantee and Fiscal Costs
This paper studies the effectiveness of government-backed credit guarantees to the infrastructure sector, a policy tool adopted by a range of countries during recessions. We proposea two-sector model with financial intermediary frictions so that infrastructure producers relyon bank loans to finance their risky production. Governments can intervene in the credit market by providing a partial guarantee on those bank loans. We find that a credit guaranteeincreases infrastructure production, leading to a high fiscal multiplier in the longer run. In thenear term, however, higher wages in the ...

Briefing
Are Markets Becoming Less Competitive?
National markets in many U.S. industries seem to be increasingly dominated by large companies.

Monetary policymaking in today’s environment: finding “policy space” in a low-rate world: remarks at the 33rd Annual Cornelson Distinguished Lecture at Davidson College, Davidson, North Carolina, April 15, 2019
Now is a good time to reflect on the Federal Reserve?s monetary policy framework. The U.S. and many developed economies are likely to be challenged by the implications of a low interest rate environment for their ability to offset recessions. The reality of limited monetary policy space provides important context for why the Federal Reserve should broadly consider its current policies and their likely outcomes.
