U.S. Monetary Shocks and Global Stock Prices
Laeven, Luc; Tong, Hui - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010

Moral Hazard and the US Stock Market: The Idea of a 'Greenspan Put'
Miller, Marcus; Weller, Paul; Zhang, Lei - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001
The risk premium in the US stock market has fallen far below its historic level, which Shiller (2000) attributes to a bubble driven by psychological factors. As an alternative explanation, we point out that the observed risk premium may be reduced by one-sided intervention policy on the part of...

Two Monetary Tools: Interest Rates and Haircuts
Ashcraft, Adam; Garleanu, Nicolae Bogdan; Pedersen, … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010
We study a production economy with multiple sectors financed by issuing securities to agents who face capital constraints. Binding capital constraints propagate business cycles, and a reduction of the interest rate can increase the required return of high-haircut assets since it can increase the...

Classical time-varying FAVAR models - Estimation, forecasting and structural analysis
Eickmeier, Sandra; Lemke, Wolfgang; Marcellino, Massimiliano - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011
We propose a classical approach to estimate factor-augmented vector autoregressive (FAVAR) models with time variation in the factor loadings, in the factor dynamics, and in the variance-covariance matrix of innovations. When the time-varying FAVAR is estimated using a large quarterly dataset of...

Identifying the Monetary Transmission Mechanism Using Structural Breaks
Beyer, Andreas; Farmer, Roger E A - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2003
We propose a method for estimating a subset of the parameters of a structural rational expectations model by exploiting changes in policy. We define a class of models, midway between a vector autoregression and a structural model, that we call the recoverable structure. We provide an application...
