This study assesses how banking sector integration and especially cross-border lending affect macroeconomic stability. I use a two-country general equilibrium model with heterogeneous banks that are hit by idiosyncratic shocks. According to the concept of granularity, idiosyncratic shocks to large firms (or: banks) do not have to cancel out under a skewed distribution of firm sizes. Given the...

This paper explores the quantitative role of financial market frictions on capital flows and the business cycle in emerging markets. A financial sector in close analogy to Gertler and Karadi (2011) is embedded in an otherwise standard neoclassical model of a small open economy. An agency problem between international investors and domestic banks gives rise to an endogenously determined leverage...

In this paper we estimate an intertemporal structural model of labor supply for mothers with young children. In order to validate the structural model, we make use of a recently introduced parental leave reform in Germany. We compare the behavioral predictions of the structural model under the reform (out-of-sample fit) to results based on an evaluation where we exploit the parental leave reform...

We present an energy market equilibrium model that captures climate aspects, infrastructure constraints, fuel substitution, and market power `a la Cournot in a single framework. The model represents the supply and transportation infrastructure, fuel transformation, power generation, and several demand sectors of fossil fuels, renewables and nuclear energy. We calibrate the model to market...
