In my next paper, A Simple Model of Multiple Equilibria Based on Risk, I studied how portfolio choice under imperfect insurance may give rise to strategic complementarities and amplify fluctuations.
My latest papers, joint with Michael Reiter, search for a matching model consistent with the observed effects of labor market policy and business cycles (BCs, UI, and the Calibration of Matching Models), and then use this specification to study optimal countercyclical policy in a real business cycle model with imperfect insurance (Stabilization versus Insurance).
