The dynamic effects of ECB announcements, disentangled into pure monetary policy and central bank information shocks, on the euro (EUR) exchange rate are examined using a Bayesian Proxy Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model fed with high-frequency data. Contractionary monetary policy shocks result...

We estimate the effects of a negative asymmetric demand shock on the real exchange rate for the euro area vis-à-vis the … output, confirming its shock-absorbing capacity before and during the ZLB episode. The stabilizing role of the exchange rate …

Evidence on the effectiveness of FX interventions is either limited to short horizons or hampered by debatable identification. We address these limitations by identifying a structural vector autoregressive model for the daily frequency with an external instrument. Applying this approach to the...
