https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/11/staff-working-paper-2020-50/
We study the interaction between epidemics and economic decisions in a model that has silent transmission of the virus. We find that rational behaviour strongly diminishes the severity of the epidemic but worsens the economic recession. We also find that the detection and isolation of not only symptomatic individuals but also those who are infected and asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic can reduce the severity of the recession caused by the pandemic.2020-11-26T14:35:20+00:00enA Macroeconomic Model of an Epidemic with Silent Transmission and Endogenous Self-isolation2020-11-26Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)Economic modelsStaff Working Paper 2020-50https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/swp2020-50.pdfAntonio Diez de los RiosNovember 2020EE1HH0II1Child Skill Production: Accounting for Parental and Market-Based Time and Goods Investments

We explore this by using data on how parents spend time and money on children and how this spending is related to their child’s development.2020-09-11T13:15:39+00:00enChild Skill Production: Accounting for Parental and Market-Based Time and Goods Investments2020-09-11Fiscal policyLabour marketsPotential outputProductivityStaff Working Paper 2020-36https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/SWP-2020-36.pdfStaff Working Paper 2020-36Elizabeth CaucuttLance LochnerJoseph MullinsYoungmin ParkSeptember 2020DD1D13HH3H31JJ2J22J24A Portfolio-Balance Model of Inflation and Yield Curve Determination
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/03/staff-working-paper-2020-6/
How does the supply of nominal government debt affect the macroeconomy? To answer this question, we propose a portfolio-balance model of the yield curve in which inflation is determined through an interest rate rule.2020-03-09T14:55:00+00:00enA Portfolio-Balance Model of Inflation and Yield Curve Determination2020-03-09Asset pricingDebt managementInflation and pricesInterest ratesMonetary policyStaff Working Paper 2020-6https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/swp2020-6.pdfStaff Working Paper 2020-6Antonio Diez de los RiosMarch 2020EE4E43E5E52GG1G12HH6H63
