We then construct a quantitative model that integrates imperfectly competitive banks into a general equilibrium ...

Does the Phillips Curve Lie Down as We Age?
Abstract Using microlevel data, we present evidence that older individuals are less willing to substitute across varieties of goods. We estimate the elasticity of substitution for different age groups and find that the youngest cohort (aged 25–34) exhibits a higher elasticity of substitution compared to the oldest group (65+).
