This paper discusses the natural real rate, why and how it reflects the stance of monetary policy, and what can happen if it turns negative; make monetary policy ineffective, which in a situation with a negative output gap can lead to a long period of low growth - secular stagnation. Denmark as a...

This working paper documents an econometric model for detecting turning points in the Danish economy in real time. The model is a mixedfrequency model using both monthly and quarterly data, which can be estimated on an unbalanced panel of data and be updated immediately as data comes through....

This paper investigates the intraday effects of unannounced foreign exchange intervention on bid-ask exchange rate spreads using official intraday intervention data provided by the Danish central bank. Our starting point is a simple theoretical model of the bid-ask spread which we use to...
