Mardi | 2014-05-13 Salle des thèses Jean-Bernard CHATELAIN – Kirsten RALF This paper investigates the identification, the determinacy and the stability of ad hoc, ”quasi-optimal” and optimal policy rules augmented with financial stability indicators (such as asset prices deviations from their fundamental values) and minimizing the volatility of the policy interest rates, when the central bank precommits to financial stability. Firstly, ad hoc and quasi optimal rules parameters of financial stability indicators cannot be identified. For those rules, non zero […]

Mardi | 2014-04-29 Sully 5 Rui Henrique ALVES – Andrea STOIAN – Francisco SERRANITO In this paper, we investigate the issues regarding the stabilization of public debt and its decrease down to 60 per cent of GDP for selected european union countries using the primary balance derived from the public debt dynamic model as a leading indicator. We find that there is a high probability of stabilizing public debt at its 2014 level conditional on achieving an increased GDP growth […]

Mardi | 2014-04-15 Sully 5 Paul MAAREK – Elsa ORGIAZZI We highlight a U-shaped relationship between development and the labor share of income. We exploit the within dimension of a panel dataset for the wage bill and value added in the manufacturing sector for developing countries. Data is available at the aggregate manufacturing level and also at the desaggregate level for 28 manufacturing sub sectors. We show that the U-shaped pattern of the labor share we observe at the aggregate […]
