A non-linear model is applied where suddenly strong spurts of exports occur when changes of the exchange rate go beyond a zone of inaction. We call the latter a "play" area - analogous to mechanical play and implement an algorithm describing path-dependent playhysteresis into a regression...

Der Zusammenhang zwischen ökonomischen Größen kennzeichnet sich oftmals dadurch, dass die Ausgangssituation und vergangene Werte von Bedeutung sind. Vergangene (temporäre) exogene Störungen und Zustände des Systems haben einen Einfluss auf die gegenwärtigen Zusammenhänge. Typische...

The interest rate represents an important monetary policy tool to steer investment in order to reach price stability. Therefore, implications of the exact form and magnitude of the interest rate-investment nexus for the European Central Bank’s effectiveness in a low interest rate environment...

The interest rate is generally considered as an important driver of macroeconomic investment. As an innovation, this paper derives the exact shape of the "hysteretic" impact of changes in the interest rate on macroeconomic investment under the scenarios of both certainty and uncertainty. We...
