TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between the slope factor in term structure of nominal interest rates and exogenous monetary-policy shocks in the U.S. after 1982, and showed that there is a strong correlation between slope factor and monetary policy shocks.
Abstract: This paper examines the empirical relationship between the movement of the slope factor in term structure of nominal interest rates and exogenous monetary-policy shocks in the U.S. after 1982. Using first a six-variable VAR model and then a GMM estimation model of the Taylor rule, I estimate the exogenous monetary-policy shocks implied by each of them in the U.S. during this period. Meanwhile, a two-factor model is used to extract the underlying slope factor of the term structure. Results from the correlation study suggest that there is strong correlation between the slope factor and the exogenous monetary-policy shocks. Moreover, monetary-policy shocks can explain a large part of variability of the slope factor. This study provides strong evidence in support of Knez, Litterman and Scheinkman (1994)'s conjecture on the relation between the slope factor and the Federal Reserve policy, and is also consistent with the results in Wu (2001a)'s general-equilibrium based simulation study.

TL;DR: In this paper, a medium-scale macro-finance DSGE model of the term structure of the US bond yield curve is used to investigate which structural shocks cause the yield curve to contain information about future growth.

TL;DR: The authors showed that capital account liberalization during the early 1990s appears to have contributed to the world-wide disinflation observed during that decade, and suggested a strong link between capital account openness and lower inflation.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic effects of marginal tax rate changes on income reported on tax returns in the United States over the 1950-2010 period were analyzed and it was shown that tax cuts in the top 1% of the income distribution lead to greater inequality in pre-tax incomes.
Abstract: This paper estimates the dynamic effects of marginal tax rate changes on income reported on tax returns in the United States over the 1950-2010 period. After isolating exogenous variation in average marginal tax rates in structural vector autoregressions using a narrative identification approach, I find large positive effects of tax cuts in the top 1% of the income distribution. In contrast to earlier findings based on tax return data, I also find large effects in other income percentile brackets. A hypothetical tax reform cutting marginal rates only for the top 1% leads to sizeable increases in top 1% incomes and has a positive effect on real GDP. There are also spillover effects to incomes outside of the top 1%, but top marginal rate cuts lead to greater inequality in pre-tax incomes.

TL;DR: A closer look at the evidence reveals that real estate continues to eclipse stocks as a share of most households' portfolios as mentioned in this paper, despite the rapid growth of the stock market since 1990 has encouraged the view that corporate equity holdings are becoming the primary asset for a broad spectrum of American households.
Abstract: The rapid growth of the stock market since 1990 has encouraged the view that corporate equity holdings are becoming the primary asset for a broad spectrum of American households. A closer look at the evidence, however, reveals that real estate continues to eclipse stocks as a share of most households' portfolios.
