Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

DSGE is the unifying framework for modeling dynamic economic phenomena in modern macroeconomics, and responsible for the New Neoclassical Synthesis in the field. The DSGE approach in macroeconomics has been a revolutionary innovation, which in turn has allowed macroeconomics to spread and take over other fields, including but not limited to labor, public economics, industrial organization, and environmental and climate economics. DSGE models have been used successfully to model the quantitative effects of the Great Depression in the US and UK, and the financial crisis of 2008, among many other important episodes in economic history.

In this Special Issue, Economies is inviting researchers and academicians to submit their work to a Special Issue dedicated to “DSGE and Macroeconomics”.  Some of the topics that this issue might address include but are not limited to quantitative macroeconomics, monetary theory, RBC models, DSGE modeling, fiscal and monetary policies, and computational aspects of those (calibration, simulation, estimation). The papers can be theoretical or empirical, and the approach can be based on a case study, comparative or institutional analysis, theoretical contributions or empirical work, among others.

In this study, we explored the impact of bank leverage and financial frictions on the transmission of real and financial shocks. Two new Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models, with and without financial frictions, were employed in the context of the Tunisian economy. In the analysis, we considered three types of shocks—productivity, monetary, and adverse bank capital shocks. The findings reveal that, in the model with financial frictions, the response of macroeconomic and financial variables to demand and supply shocks was more pronounced than in the baseline model, where frictions primarily exist at the borrower level. In this study, we underscored the significance of financial shocks, particularly negative bank capital shocks, in triggering substantial macroeconomic and financial fluctuations, especially when banks operate with higher leverage ratios. Additionally, the inclusion of financial frictions in the DSGE model enhanced its ability to capture the empirical features of real and financial shocks, providing valuable insights for effective monetary policymaking. The results provide foundational insights for Tunisian policymakers to assess the impact of financial frictions in the context of the Tunisian economy. This is significant for the Central Bank of Tunisia, which has not yet adopted a specific DSGE model. Therefore, through our analysis, we determined the amplificatory role of financial frictions in the dynamics of macroeconomic and financial variables in Tunisia and examined the main transmission channels of shock propagation.
