(The standard models assumed that the economy was buffeted by exogenous shocks; most crisis shocks are, however, endogenous manmade.) Four hypotheses are presented about how the structure of the economy changed (sometimes as a result of policy) in ways that increased the likelihood of a large...

To do this, we maintain that both CPI and PPI are sticky in the baseline model. We find that, when the central bank does not know the actual source of shocks, one way to avoid big welfare losses is to assume that the shocks hit both sectors or just the PPI sector and to formulate ...
