Does anticipation of government spending matter? Evidence from an expectation augmented VAR

Tenhofen, Jörn; Wolff, Guntram B. - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2007

How does private consumption react to an exogenous increase in government expenditure? Standard structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) usually report a positive GDP as well as consumption response, while event studies report a negative consumption response. We investigate in a SVAR whether...

The macroeconomic effects of exogenous fiscal policy shocks in Germany: a disaggregated SVAR analysis

Wolff, Guntram B.; Tenhofen, Jörn; Heppke-Falk, Kirsten H. - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2006

We investigate the short-term effects of fiscal policy shocks on the German economy following the SVAR approach by Blanchard and Perotti (2002). We find that direct government expenditure shocks increase output and private consumption on impact with low statistical significance, while they...

Money-based interest rate rules: lessons from German data

Gerberding, Christina; Seitz, Franz; Worms, Andreas - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2007

The paper derives the monetary policy reaction function implied by money growth targeting. It consists of an interest rate response to deviations of the inflation rate from target, to the change in the output gap, to money demand shocks and to the lagged interest rate. In the second part, it is...

Uncertainty about perceived inflation target and monetary policy

Aoki, Kosuke; Kimura, Takeshi - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2007

We analyse the interaction between private agents? uncertainty about inflation target and the central bank's data uncertainty. In our model, private agents update their perceived inflation target and the central bank estimates unobservable economic shocks as well as the perceived inflation...

Monetary and fiscal policy interactions in a New Keynesian model with capital accumulation and non-Ricardian consumers

Leith, Campbell; von Thadden, Leopold - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2006

This paper develops a small New Keynesian model with capital accumulation and government debt dynamics. The paper discusses the design of simple monetary and fiscal policy rules consistent with determinate equilibrium dynamics in the absence of Ricardian equivalence. Under this assumption,...

Heterogeneous expectations, learning and European inflation dynamics

Weber, Anke - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2007

This paper is the first attempt to investigate the performance of different learning rules in fitting survey data of household and expert inflation expectations in five core European economies (France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Spain). Overall it is found that constant gain learning...

How the Bundesbank really conducted monetary policy: An analysis based on real-time data

Gerberding, Christina; Worms, Andreas; Seitz, Franz - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2004

Papers estimating the reaction function of the Bundesbank generally find that its monetary policy from the 1970s to 1998 can well be captured by a standard Taylor rule according to which the central bank responds to the output gap and to deviations of inflation from target, but not to monetary...

Policy instrument choice and non-coordinated monetary in interdependent economies

Lombardo, Giovanni; Sutherland, Alan - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2004

Non-coordinated monetary policy is analysed in a stochastic two-country general equilibrium model. Non-coordinated equilibria are compared in two cases: one where policy is set in terms of state-contingent money supply rules and one where policy is set in terms of state-contingent nominal...
