Identifying Monetary Policy Shocks Via Changes in Volatility

Lanne, Markku - 2013

A central issue of monetary policy analysis is the specification of monetary policy shocks. In a structural vector autoregressive setting there has been some controversy about which restrictions to use for identifying the shocks because standard theories do not provide enough information to...

Central Bank Policy Rates : Are They Cointegrated?

Caporale, Guglielmo Maria - 2017

This paper analyses the stochastic properties of and the bilateral linkages between the central bank policy rates of the US, the Eurozone, Australia, Canada, Japan and the UK using fractional integration and cointegration techniques respectively. The univariate analysis suggests a high degree of...

Systematic Monetary Policy and the Macroeconomic Effects of Shifts in Loan-to-Value Ratios

Bachmann, Ruediger - 2017

What are the macroeconomic consequences of changing aggregate lending standards in residential mortgage markets, as measured by loan-to-value (LTV) ratios? In a structural VAR, GDP and business investment increase following an expansionary LTV shock. Residential investment, by contrast, falls, a...

The Price Puzzle Revisited : Can the Cost Channel Explain a Rise in Inflation after a Monetary Policy Shock?

Henzel, Steffen - 2013

This paper explores whether the cost channel solves the price puzzle. We set-up a New Keynesian DSGE model and estimate it for the euro area by adopting a minimum distance approach. Our findings suggest that - under certain parameter restrictions which are not rejected by the data - the cost...

Monetary Policy Analysis in Real-Time : Vintage Combination from a Real-Time Dataset

Altavilla, Carlo - 2011

This paper provides a general strategy for analyzing monetary policy in real time which accounts for data uncertainty without explicitly modelling the revision process. The strategy makes use of all the data available from a real-time data matrix and averages model estimates across all data...

Supply, Demand and Monetary Policy Shocks in a Multi-Country New Keynesian Model

Dées, Stéphane - 2013

-specific foreign output variable to capture direct inter-country linkages. In accord with the theory all variables are measured as … restrictions implied by the NK theory. The multi-country DSGE NK model is then solved to provide estimates of identified supply …. We discuss estimation of impulse response functions and variance decompositions in such large systems, and present …

Monetary Policy Transmission and House Prices : European Cross-Country Evidence

Carstensen, Kai - 2013

This paper explores the importance of housing and mortgage market heterogeneity in 12 European countries for the transmission of monetary policy. We use a panel VAR model which is estimated over the period 1995-2006 to generate impulse responses of key macroeconomic variables to a monetary...

Uncertainty and Monetary Policy in Good and Bad Times

Caggiano, Giovanni - 2017

We investigate the role played by systematic monetary policy in tackling the real effects of uncertainty shocks in U.S. recessions and expansions. We model key indicators of the business cycle with a nonlinear VAR that allows for different dynamics in busts and booms. Uncertainty shocks are...

On the Cyclicity of Regional House Prices : New Evidence for U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas

Flor, Michael - 2015

This paper is mainly concerned with the analysis of regional house price cycles. Based on a newly available data set consisting of the 40 largest U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), we introduce a wavelet transform based metric to study the housing cycle synchronization across MSAs. We...

Dimensions of Macroeconomic Uncertainty : A Common Factor Analysis

Henzel, Steffen - 2014

Uncertainty about the future course of the economy is a possible driver of aggregate fluctuations. To identify the different dimensions of uncertainty in the macroeconomy we construct a large dataset covering all types of economic uncertainty. We then identify two fundamental factors which...
