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. Generally, we find, for freely...

transmission of global risk to the world economy within a Bayesian proxy structural vectorautoregressive model. We identify global …, the contractionary impact of a global risk shock is much weaker, both in the rest of the world and the US. For the rest of … the world, contractionary financial channels thus dominate expansionary expenditure switching when global risk rises and …
