Secular stagnation

Biagio Bossone

No 2014-47, Economics Discussion Papers from Kiel Institute for the World Economy

Abstract: This study analyzes the emergence of secular stagnation as the consequence of a rise in the preference for liquidity. Such a rise is caused by a persistent set of pessimistic expectations. This study also investigates the effectiveness of a broad range of demand-management policies in dealing with secular stagnation. To obtain these results, this study uses a model where agents derive utility from holding assets of different degrees of liquidity. In this environment, rational expectations interact with changes in market sentiment, to produce secular stagnation.
