This paper sheds lights on the open economy dimension of the Fed information effect, by evaluating its international spillovers on exchange rates, capital flows, and global economic activity. We provide empirical evidence that in response to unexpected increases in the Federal Funds rate...

contribution to fluctuations in, the real exchange rate, output growth and inflation in four major economies over the past four … focused on inflation and output and the time-varying impact of monetary policy on these variables. In addition we generalise … as follows. The transmission of demand, supply and nominal shocks to the real exchange rate, output and inflation has …

We develop a method of quantifying the uncertainty surrounding the estimates of the fundamental inflation implied by … the New Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC). The uncertainty is represented as a band around the fundamental inflation, and … a projection of real marginal costs. An empirical application on UK and US data confirms that fundamental inflation …

Several industrialised countries have had a similar inflation experience in the past 30 years, with inflation high and … volatile in the 1970s and the 1980s but low and stable in the most recent period. We explore the dynamics of inflation in these … countries via a time-varying factor model. This statistical model is used to describe movements in inflation that are …

shocks to the Bank of England's inflation and output projections on the term structure of UK private inflation expectations … proceed in three steps. First, we correct our dependent variables - market-based inflation expectation measures - for … potential risk, liquidity and inflation risk premia. Second, we extract exogenous shocks following Romer and Romer (2004)'s …

Market-based measures of inflation expectations can be derived either from the difference between yields on nominal and … inflation-linked government bonds or from inflation swap rates. These measures are important indicators of the outlook for … inflation and are monitored regularly by the United Kingdom's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), alongside other measures of …

We develop a model that can explain the evolution of trend inflation in the United States in the three decades before … inflation arises endogenously and has these determinants: the strength with which the central bank responds to inflation, the … degree of uncertainty about monetary policy perceived by the private sector, and, if it exists, the inflation target. Given …

This paper studies how the real exchange rate might respond to product innovation (improvements in the quality of goods) as opposed to process innovation (increased efficiency in the production of goods). We develop a two-country dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model, where quality...
