https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2024/02/staff-analytical-note-2024-3/
We measure how the change in the share of constrained households in Canada following the COVID-19 recession has impacted the effectiveness of monetary policy.2024-02-21T14:06:06+00:00enHow changes in the share of constrained households affect the effectiveness of monetary policy2024-02-21Modelling Canadian mortgage debt and payments in a semi-structural model
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2024/01/staff-analytical-note-2024-1/
We show how Canadian mortgage debt dynamics can be modelled in a semi-structural macroeconomic model, such as the Bank of Canada’s LENS. The model we propose accounts for Canada’s unique mortgage debt structure.2024-01-08T11:16:48+00:00enModelling Canadian mortgage debt and payments in a semi-structural model2024-01-08Perceived versus Calibrated Income Risks in Heterogeneous-Agent Consumption Models
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/staff-working-paper-2023-59/
Perceived income risks reported in a survey of consumer expectations are more heterogeneous and, on average, lower than indirectly calibrated risks based on panel data. They prove to be one explanation for why a large fraction of households hold very little liquid savings and why accumulated wealth is widely unequal across households.2023-12-27T11:44:56+00:00enPerceived versus Calibrated Income Risks in Heterogeneous-Agent Consumption Models2023-12-27Business fluctuations and cyclesMonetary policyMonetary policy and uncertaintyStaff Working Paper 2023-59https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/swp2023-59.pdfPerceived versus Calibrated Income Risks in Heterogeneous-Agent Consumption ModelsTao WangDecember 2023DD1D14EE2E21E7E71GG5G51Assessing the effects of higher immigration on the Canadian economy and inflation
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/staff-analytical-note-2023-17/
We assess the complex macroeconomic implications of Canada’s recent population increases. We find that newcomers significantly boost the non-inflationary, potential growth of the economy, but existing imbalances in the housing sector may be exacerbated. Greater housing supply is needed to complement the long-term economic benefits of population growth.2023-12-07T12:35:52+00:00enAssessing the effects of higher immigration on the Canadian economy and inflation2023-12-07Uncovering the Differences Among Displaced Workers: Evidence from Canadian Job Separation Records

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/10/staff-working-paper-2023-54/
We investigate alternative student debt contracts that defer payments and ease the burden of student loans on US households by preserving disposable income early in borrowers’ lives. Our model shows substantial welfare gains from these contracts relative to existing plans and gains similar to the Biden administration's proposals but with a significantly lower cost.2023-10-27T08:59:08+00:00enBorrow Now, Pay Even Later: A Quantitative Analysis of Student Debt Payment Plans2023-10-27Asset pricingEconomic modelsFinancial marketsLabour marketsMarket structure and pricingStaff Working Paper 2023-54https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/swp2023-54.pdfBorrow Now, Pay Even Later: A Quantitative Analysis of Student Debt Payment PlansMichael BoutrosNuno ClaraFrancisco GomesOctober 2023EE2GG5HH3Labor Market Shocks and Monetary Policy

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/08/staff-working-paper-2023-48/
A large-scale reduction in mortgage principal can strengthen a recovery, support house prices and lower foreclosures. The nature of the intervention shapes its impact, which rests on how resources are redistributed across households. The availability of bankruptcy on unsecured debt changes the response to large-scale mortgage relief by reducing precautionary savings.2023-08-28T11:39:12+00:00enThe Macroeconomic Effects of Debt Relief Policies During Recessions2023-08-28Business fluctuations and cyclesCredit and credit aggregatesDebt managementHousingStaff Working Paper 2023-48https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/swp2023-48.pdfThe Macroeconomic Effects of Debt Relief Policies During RecessionsSoyoung LeeAugust 2023EE2E21E3E32E6Labour Supply and Firm Size
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/08/staff-working-paper-2023-47/
This paper documents a systematic pattern of how wages, hours and their relationship vary across firms of different sizes. Using a model with heterogeneous firms and workers, we show how the interplay between wages, hours and firm size affect worker sorting and inequality.2023-08-25T10:06:58+00:00enLabour Supply and Firm Size2023-08-25Firm dynamicsLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2023-47https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/swp2023-47.pdfStaff Working Paper 2023-47Lin ShaoFaisal SohailEmircan YurdagulAugust 2023EE2E24JJ2J3J31Digitalization: Productivity
