  • Aging and the real interest rate in Japan: A labor market channel

    S Fujita, I Fujiwara

    Journal of the Japanese and International Economies 69, 101262 (Journal of the Japanese and International Economies)  69 2023.09

    ISSN  08891583

    　View Summary

    This paper explores a causal link between aging of the labor force and the declining trend in the real interest rate in Japan. We develop a search and matching model that features heterogeneous workers with respect to their ages and firm-specific skills. Using the model, we examine the long-run implications of the sharp drop in labor force entry in the 1970s. We show that the changes in the demographic structure induce significant low-frequency movements in per capita consumption growth and thus the real interest rate. The model suggests that aging of the labor force caused the real interest rate to decline by 1 percentage point between 1980 and 2010 in Japan.

  • The Delphic forward guidance puzzle in New Keynesian models

    I Fujiwara, Y Waki

    Review of Economic Dynamics 46, 280-301 (Review of Economic Dynamics)  46   280 - 301 2022.10

    ISSN  10942025

    　View Summary

    When the central bank has information that can help the private sector better predict the future, should it communicate such information to the public? In purely forward-looking New Keynesian models, such Delphic forward guidance unambiguously reduces ex ante welfare by increasing the variability of inflation and the output gap. We call this phenomenon the Delphic forward guidance puzzle. In more elaborate models with endogenous state variables, a combination of Delphic forward guidance and preemptive policy actions may improve welfare. However, full information revelation is generally not optimal and what information needs to be revealed is highly model-dependent.

    　View Summary

    グローバル・インバランスの発生要因を、国際貿易と国際金融の両面から明らかにしたうえで、今後の帰趨を展望し、政策対応を提案する。従来は金融要因や構造要因(高齢化)がグローバル・インバランスの主な原因として指摘されていた。しかし現在は、国際資金移動と世界貿易の構造が共に大きく変化している。その事実を背景に、本研究では、国際金融的側面、国際貿易的側面の両面を考慮した分野横断的視点からの分析を行う。
