Staff Working Paper 2009-33
Brian DePratto,
Carlos De Resende,
Philipp Maier
We estimate a New Keynesian general-equilibrium open economy model to examine how changes in oil prices affect the macroeconomy.

Market Timing of Long-Term Debt Issuance
Staff Discussion Paper 2009-14
Jonathan Witmer
The literature on market timing of long-term debt issuance yields mixed evidence that managers can successfully time their debt-maturity issuance.
