Monetary Policy and Inflation. Our research studies a broad range of issues related to the short-run fluctuations of the main economic aggregates such as GDP, inflation, nominal interest rates, fiscal deficits, employment and unemployment. We pay special attention to the analysis of (i) the dynamic comovement displayed by macroeconomic variables, (ii) real-time data issues related to economic modeling, estimation and evaluation of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models, and (iii) monetary policy asymmetries associated with different phases (expansions and recessions) of the business cycle.
