A popular argument — the "asset market meltdown" of the 1990s, revived as the "great demographic reversal" — holds that once the old start running down their savings, aging will push interest rates …
Auclert, Majic, Rognlie, and Straub show that the sequence-space Jacobians used to solve macro models with rich heterogeneity have a special "quasi-Toeplitz" mathematical structure, which yields a …
In a multi-country heterogeneous-agent New Keynesian model, debt-financed fiscal transfers eventually raise the world interest rate and are entirely absorbed by foreign lenders, but in the short run a …
Introducing heterogeneous households with realistically high marginal propensities to consume into an otherwise-standard small open economy New Keynesian model creates a powerful real income channel …
Auclert, Rognlie, and Straub review a decade of Heterogeneous-Agent New Keynesian (HANK) research through a single canonical model, showing that monetary and balanced-budget fiscal policy have …
This paper extends the "certainty equivalence" shortcut that makes first-order sequence-space methods fast for heterogeneous-agent models to second and third order, showing that these higher-order …
In a heterogeneous-agent New Keynesian model of an energy-importing small open economy, realistically high MPCs combined with a realistically low elasticity of substitution between energy and other …
Estimating a heterogeneous-agent New Keynesian model with "sticky expectations" that simultaneously matches households' large immediate marginal propensities to consume and the hump-shaped aggregate …
This paper shows that monetary policy affects aggregate consumption not only through the standard income and substitution channels but also through three redistribution channels -- earnings …

This paper shows that New Keynesian models with frictionless labor supply cannot simultaneously match three well-established empirical facts -- high marginal propensities to consume, low marginal …
Winberry, Auclert, Rognlie, and Straub extend the Heterogeneous-Agent New Keynesian framework from households to firms, building a canonical heterogeneous-firm model with financial frictions in which …
Using a new sequence-space method for characterizing the long-run ("Ramsey") steady state of dynamic optimal-taxation problems, this paper finds that for standard calibrations of Aiyagari (1995)-style …
This paper derives an "intertemporal Keynesian cross" showing that intertemporal marginal propensities to consume (iMPCs) are sufficient statistics for the output response of fiscal policy in …
Auclert, Bardóczy, Rognlie, and Straub introduce the "sequence-space Jacobian," a fast algorithm for computing the first-order derivatives of general-equilibrium heterogeneous-agent models with …
Most heterogeneous-agent New Keynesian (HANK) models take household portfolios as exogenously fixed. This paper develops a sequence-space method for solving instead for endogenous, risk-hedging …
