Financial regulation, financial globalization and the synchronization of economic activity
Kalemli-Ozcan, Sebnem; Papaioannou, Elias; Peydró, … - 2010
We identify the effect of financial integration on international business cycle synchronization, by utilizing a confidential database on banks' bilateral exposure and employing a country-pair panel instrumental variables approach. Countries that become more integrated over time have less...

Global production linkages and stock market comovement
Auer, Raphael A.; Iwadate, Bruce; Schrimpf, Andreas; … - 2023
Although real integration conceptually plays an important role for the comovement of international equity markets, documenting this link empirically has proven challenging. We construct a new dataset of theory-guided, relevant measures of bilateral trade in final and intermediate goods and...

Different no more : country spreads in advanced and emerging economies
Born, Benjamin; Müller, Gernot J.; Pfeifer, Johannes; … - 2020
Interest-rate spreads fluctuate widely across time and countries. We characterize their behavior using some 3,200 quarterly observations for 21 advanced and 17 emerging economies since the early 1990s. Before the financial crisis, spreads are 10 times more volatile in emerging economies than in...

Cross-border banking in regulated markets : is financial integration desirable?
Haufler, Andreas; Wooton, Ian - 2016
We set up a two-country, regional model of trade in financial services. Competitive firms in each country manufacture untraded consumer goods in an uncertain productive environment, borrowing funds from a bank in either the home or the foreign market. Duopolistic banks can choose their levels of...

The global financial cycle and capital flow episodes : a wobbly link?
Scheubel, Beatrice; Stracca, Livio; Tille, Cédric - 2019
We add to the literature on the influence of the global financial cycle (GFC) and gyrations in capital flows. First, we build a new measure of the GFC based on a structural factor approach, which incorporates theoretical priors in its definition. This measure can also be decomposed in a...

America First? : a US-centric view of global capital flows
McQuade, Peter; Schmitz, Martin - 2019

Global and national risk indicators perform better in explaining "rest of the world" flows. Moreover, we find that the … correlation between US and rest of the world flows peaks in periods of elevated uncertainty. We interpret our findings as evidence …

Alternative measures for the global financial cycle : do they make a difference?
Tian, Xin; Jacobs, Jan; Haan, Jakob de - 2022
We construct several measures for the global financial cycle using dynamic factor models and data for 25 advanced and emerging countries over 1980-2019. Our results suggest that global cycles in asset prices and capital flows are highly similar and synchronized, especially during crisis...

Trade, finance or policies : what drives the cross-border spill-over of business cycles?
Montinari, Letizia; Stracca, Livio - 2017
In this paper we investigate how income growth rates in one country are affected by growth rates in partner countries, testing for the importance of pairwise country links as well as characteristics of the receiving country (trade and financial open- ness, exchange rate regime, fiscal...
