We regard macro-finance as ensemble of economic agents and use their risk ratings as coordinates on economic space. Aggregations of agent’s financial variables with risk coordinates x on economic space define macro-financial variables as function of x. We describe evolution and interactions between macro-financial variables by hydrodynamic-like equations. Minimum and maximum risk grades define most secure and most risky agents respectively. That determines borders of macro-finance domain on economic space that is filled by economic agents. Perturbations of agent’s risk coordinates near risk borders of macro domain cause disturbances of macro financial variables, for instance - Investment and Profits. Such disturbances can generate financial risk waves that propagate along risk borders. These waves may exponentially amplify perturbations inside of macro domain and impact financial sustainability. We study simple model relations between Investment and Profits and describe linear approximation of steady state distributions of Investment and Profits on macro-finance domain that fulfill “dreams” of Investors: “more risks – more Profits”. We describe Investment and Profits waves on risk border of economic space alike to surface waves in fluids. We present simple examples that specify waves as possible origin of time fluctuations of macro-financial variables. Description of possible steady state distributions of macro financial variables and financial risk waves on economic space could help for better policy-making and managing sustainable macro-finance.","PeriodicalId":123778,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Theoretical Dynamic Models (Topic)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126276814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a quantitative framework, called \u0000 extended function path (EFP), for calibrating, solving, simulating, and estimating such nonstationary Markov models. The EFP framework relies on the turnpike theorem which implies that the finite‐horizon solutions asymptotically converge to the infinite‐horizon solutions if the time horizon is sufficiently large.

First, transition of the secular stagnation into the secular decline is to be prevented. Second, a two-stage economic policy against the secular stagnation should be entertained. The first stage is to promote a policy of advancing the additional demand for products to counterbalance the additional supply of products by external suppliers. The second stage is to sustain a policy of savings and investments to stipulate an economic growth where the savings and investments are to be committed with a modest acceleration. Two stages of the alleviating economic policy can be executed concurrently.","PeriodicalId":123778,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Theoretical Dynamic Models (Topic)","volume":"8 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123629507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This result is not driven by industry‐specific supply‐side shocks, exposure to the construction sector, policy‐induced business uncertainty, or contemporaneous credit supply tightening. We find little evidence of labor market adjustment in response to the housing net worth shock. There is no significant expansion of the tradable sector in counties with the largest decline in housing net worth. Further, there is little evidence of wage adjustment within or emigration out of the hardest hit counties.","PeriodicalId":123778,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Theoretical Dynamic Models (Topic)","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128442794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, we introduce an endogenous wedge between market and book value of capital, and make investment a function of it in a standard financial accelerator model. The price wedge is driven by an information set containing expectations about the future state of the economy. The result is that the impulse responses to exogenous disturbances are on average two to three times more volatile than in the benchmark financial accelerator model. More- over, the model improves the matching of firm variables and financial rates to US data compared to the standard financial accelerator model. We also derive a model based quadratic loss function and measure the extent to which monetary policy can feed a bubble by further loosening the credit market frictions that entrepreneurs face. A policy that explicitly targets stock market developments can be shown to improve welfare in terms of minimizing the consumption losses of consumers, even when we account for incomplete information of central bankers regarding the current state of the economy.","PeriodicalId":123778,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Theoretical Dynamic Models (Topic)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132894390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
