We build an instrument for these shocks using the changes of the sovereign yield spread around political and policy dates, and estimate their effects in the context of local projection. We show that adverse political risk shocks have negative effects on domestic financial markets and in some countries generate spillovers on the spreads of other eurozone economies. Moreover, in Italy populism-related political risk shocks have a larger effect on financial markets and they harm the real economy.

When the reservation wage is made endogenous in a general equilibrium context, insider-outsider models can generate a fundamental asymmetry in the adjustment of employment to the steady state. While upturns are gradual, severe downturns are characterized by a sharp drop in employment, obtained by laying off workers. Further reductions in employment are achieved solely through quits.

In this paper we study long and short to medium run e¤ects of deregulating Europe by developing a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model featuring endogenous producer entry and search and matching frictions in the labor market. We analyze the e¤ects of single policy changes and a global reform in which product and labor market regulations are set at the current U.S. level. Three main results emerge. First, we show that deregulation –either single or global -would trigger adjustment costs in the short run, increasing unemployment and reducing consumption. Long run welfare gains would make up for short run costs. Second, reforms are interdependent as the e¤ects of a policy change in one market depend upon the level of regulation prevailing in the other. Third, regulation has important consequences for the business c...

They impose on a model with adjustment costs the minimum structure necessary to recover a measure of markups. Markups are allowed to vary with both the state and future evolution of demand and estimates of price-cost margins are obtained from the Euler

This paper shows how to obtain proxies for the fundamental and fad components of changes in stock prices and asks the question: Do only fundamentals matter for investment decisions? We find that changes in investment are
