Benigno, Journal of International Economics, Vol. 93 (1), May 2014. Deleveraging from high debt can provoke deep recession with significant international side effects. Swings in the nominal exchange rate and large variations in consumption, output, and terms of trade can happen during the adjustment. All these movements are inefficient and interesting trade-offs emerge from the perspective of global welfare. The optimal adjustment to global imbalances should not necessarily require large movements in the nominal exchange rate. A global liquidity trap can be desirable when countries are more open to trade. Working papers "Need for (the Right) Speed: the Timing of Austerity" (job market paper). This paper studies optimal public debt deleveraging in a heterogeneous agents framework, under incomplete financial markets. I find that the instrument used by the fiscal authority is important in determining agents' preferences regarding the nature of public debt deleveraging. I also analyze how substitutability between private consumption and public expenditure affects these results. I show that the nature of optimal fiscal policy changes significantly when introducing nominal rigidities and the zero lower bound. Dynamic Debt Deleveraging and Optimal Monetary Policy, with P. Benigno and G. Eggertsson, NBER Working Paper No. 20556, October 2014. This paper studies optimal monetary policy under dynamic debt deleveraging once the zero bound is binding. Unlike the existing literature, the natural rate of interest is endogenous and depends on macroeconomic policy. Optimal monetary policy successfully raises the natural rate of interest by creating an environment that speeds up deleveraging, thus endogenously shortening the duration of the crisis and a binding zero bound. Inflation should be front loaded. Fiscal-policy multipliers can be even higher than in existing models, but depend on the way in which public spending is financed.
