文章题目 (Title)：货币国际化、汇率制度与外汇干预

文章摘要 (Abstract)：本文通过构建一个包含不完全汇率传递的小国开放经济DSGE模型，深入探讨了货币国际化进程中外汇干预政策的传导机制和宏观影响。通过融入货币国际化、管理浮动汇率制、资本管制等中国经济的典型特点，我们研究发现：人民币国际化程度不高是现阶段中国经济的重要特征，人民币国际化进程和资本账户开放都将强化外生冲击影响中国宏观经济的国际溢出效应；外汇干预政策和管理浮动的利率政策都能够有效减缓汇率和产出的波动幅度，但是在兼顾金融稳定的情况下，外汇干预政策比管理浮动利率政策更加有效；深化管理浮动汇率制度改革，可以有效地降低外汇干预的必要性。根据研究结论，本文认为中国货币当局应优先加快人民币汇率制度的改革，谨慎实施资本开放的政策，逐步减少和降低外汇干预政策频率和力度，加快汇率市场化的步伐。

文章题目 (Title)：Fisherian Debt-Deflation Zero Lower Bound

文章摘要 (Abstract)：How important is the effect of the interest rate Zero Lower Bound (ZLB) on the severity of the Great Recession in the U.S.? We tackle this question using an incomplete market, two-agent New Keynesian model, with an occasionally binding ZLB and a borrowing constraint. We show that the interaction between binding ZLB and the deleveraging cycle triggered by binding borrowing constraint can be a powerful mechanism to exacerbate the impact of financial crises. The ZLB tends to bind when capital is abundant and the borrowing constraint binds. At the ZLB, output can be decreasing in capital stock because of insufficient aggregate demand. Consequently, when capital stock is high enough relative to productivity, output drops all the way to zero and equilibrium ceases to exist. Equilibrium existence can be restored by adding capital adjustment cost and endogenous capital price to the model. In the quantitative version of the model, solved numerically using a global nonlinear method, we find that the amplification effects of deleveraging shocks on output, investment, asset prices, and risk premium are significantly larger in the presence of the ZLB.

文章题目 (Title)：Financial Depth, Income Distribution, and Economic Transition

文章摘要 (Abstract)：General equilibrium theories suggest that economic development has a close relationship with both finance and income distribution. Prior empirical studies on the important finance-inequality nexus did not properly incorporate the influence of economic transition and obtained biased estimates of the role of financial depth. We employ a nonparametric function of finance to flexibly characterize its varying effects during economic transition and explore the non-linear channels through which finance operates on income distribution. Using the Chinese economy as an example, we establish the causal effects of finance on income inequality using the entry behavior of modern foreign banks in each province during 1845-1949 as an instrumental variable for financial depth. Our estimations suggest a robustly asymmetric and roughly inverted-L shaped relationship of finance and inequality during the transition of the Chinese economy. The marginal impacts of financial depth are affected by the degree of credit constraint, the fraction of state ownership, and the level of economic development along the transition process.

文章题目 (Title)：Changes in housing markets and spatial sorting in the United States

文章摘要 (Abstract)：The spatial sorting and housing markets in the United States have experienced two significant changes from 1981 to 2000: the increased concentration of population in metropolitan areas, and the widening of housing price differences. These changes happened in parallel with the widening of the metropolitan wage premium and the college premium. In order to quantify their impact on spatial sorting and housing prices, I develop a quantitative spatial equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents, endogenous housing prices, and incomplete markets. This model captures well the changes in spatial sorting and house price that has been observed between 1981 and 2000. Through a decomposition exercise, I found that the primary force driving population and price changes is the metropolitan wage premium, which accounts for around 90% of the observed changes. In addition, spatial sorting plays a critical role in determining housing price variations and has exacerbated wealth inequality.
