Product Quality and International Price Dynamics over the Business Cycle

open access: yesEconomica, Volume 88, Issue 352, Page 1054-1074, October 2021., 2021
Two puzzling facts of international real business cycles are (1) weak or negative correlations between the terms of trade and output, and (2) a rise in relative consumption for countries where national goods become relatively more expensive. We show that these puzzles either vanish or become much weaker in recent data.

The economic arguments for and against a wealth tax

open access: yesFiscal Studies, Volume 42, Issue 3-4, Page 457-483, September-December 2021., 2021

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 614-628, August 2020., 2020
