We study the effects of the introduction of common deposit insurance across countries in a model of cross-border banks with both endogenous risk-taking and within group risk-sharing possibilities. With national deposit insurance, there is inefficient ring-fencing of resources from healthy to...

We develop a dynamic macroeconomic framework with worker heterogeneity, monopsony power, and putty-clay adjustment frictions in order to study the distributional impact of labor market policies in the short and long run. Our model helps reconcile the tension between low short-run and high long-run...
