- 요약This dissertation contains three essays in International Macroeconomics and Macroeconomics, more broadly defined. Chapter 1 examines the response of income inequality to commodity price shocks and identifies the underlying mechanisms at play. I provide novel cross-country evidence from commodity-exporting nations, showing that positive commodity price shocks reduce labor income inequality between skilled and unskilled workers. This reduction in inequality is primarily driven by a fall in the skill premium, arising from the expansion of unskilled-labor-intensive sectors, such as construction, which grow more rapidly than skilled-labor-intensive ones, such as services. To interpret these results, I develop a quantitative multisector small-open-economy model that incorporates sectoral heterogeneity in both skilled-labor intensity and sensitivity to commodity price shocks. I use the model as a laboratory to explore the distributional impacts of various policy responses to commodity windfalls, demonstrating how saving or spending these gains can either reinforce or moderate the reduction in inequality. This analysis provides new insights into the broader economic and social impacts of commodity price shocks in emerging markets. Chapter 2, which is work co-authored with Guillemro Calvo, Fabrizio Coriccelli and Pablo Ottonello, we document the macroeconomic patterns that characterize labor market recovery from financial crises. Using a sample of postwar recession episodes from around the world, we show that financial crises are typically followed by jobless recoveries, with a sluggish recovery of employment relative to output. A departure from this empirical regularity occurs in emerging-market crises with high inflation, which feature strong employment recoveries but persistent declines in real wages and result in "wageless recoveries." Our findings highlight the central role of financial components in labor input costs and nominal wage rigidities in shaping labor market dynamics following economic crises. Chapter 3 examines the desirability of implementing price controls during inflation stabilization plans. To address this question, I develop a New Keynesian model with sticky information, which I use to assess the welfare costs associated with transitioning from a high-inflation to a low-inflation steady state. My findings show that even when the monetary authority commits to a new regime and agents do not anticipate future policy changes, welfare costs arise during the transition due to firms' gradual adaptation to the new regime. In this context, I introduce price controls as a policy tool aimed at mitigating the real costs of disinflation caused by information frictions. I then explore the trade-offs they create for policymakers. On the one hand, price controls offer macroeconomic benefits by coordinating prices during the transition, leading to a faster and less costly disinflation. On the other hand, they impose microeconomic costs by preventing firms from adjusting prices freely in response to idiosyncratic shocks. Ultimately, the optimality of price controls depends on the scale of disinflation relative to the magnitude of firm-level shocks.
