Shocks, Structures or Monetary Policies? The Euro Area and US After 2001
Christiano, Lawrence J. - 2007
The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates more vigorously in the recent recession than the European Central Bank did. By comparison with the Fed, the ECB followed a more measured course of action. We use an estimated dynamic general equilibrium model with financial frictions to show that...

Liquidity Constraints, Risk Premia, and the Macroeconomic Effects of Liquidity Shocks
Jaccard, Ivan - 2013
We study the transmission of liquidity shocks in a dynamic general equilibrium model where firms and households are … subject to liquidity risk. The provision of liquidity services is undertaken by financial intermediaries that allocate the … stock of liquid asset between the different sectors of the economy. We find that the macroeconomic effects of liquidity …

Monetary Policy and the Financing of Firms
De Fiore, Fiorella - 2012
How should monetary policy respond to changes in financial conditions? In this paper we consider a simple model where firms are subject to idiosyncratic shocks which may force them to default on their debt. Firms' assets and liabilities are denominated in nominal terms and predetermined when...

Identifying SVARS from Sparse Narrative Instruments : Dynamic Effects of U.S. Macroprudential Policies
Budnik, Katarzyna Barbara - 2020
We study the identification of policy shocks in Bayesian proxy VARs for the case that the instrument consists of sparse qualitative observations indicating the signs of certain shocks. We propose two identification schemes, i.e. linear discriminant analysis and a non-parametric sign concordance...

Global Impacts of Us Monetary Policy Uncertainty Shocks
Lastauskas, Povilas; Minh, Anh - 2021
We build a new empirical model to estimate the global impact of an increase in the volatility of US monetary policy shocks. Specifically, we admit time-varying variances of local structural shocks from a stochastic volatility specification. By allowing for rich dynamic interaction between the...

The Impact of Monetary Policy and Exchange Rate Shocks in Poland : Evidence from a Time-Varying VAR
Arratibel, Olga - 2014
This paper follows the Bayesian time-varying VAR approach with stochastic volatility developed by Primiceri (2005), to analyse whether the reaction of output and prices to interest rate and exchange rate shocks has changed across time (1996-2012) in the Polish economy. The empirical findings...

Sectoral Output Effects of Monetary Policy : Do Sticky Prices Matter?

This paper studies the role of sticky prices for the monetary transmission mechanism, using disaggregated industry-level data from 205 US industries. There is substantial heterogeneity in the output responses of industries to monetary policy surprises. I show that an industry's response to...

Endogenous Growth, Downward Wage Rigidity and Optimal Inflation
Abbritti, Mirko; Consolo, Agostino; Weber, Sebastian - 2021
Standard New Keynesian (NK) models feature an optimal inflation target well below two percent, limited welfare losses from business cycle fluctuations and long-term monetary neutrality. We develop a NK framework with labour market frictions, endogenous productivity and downward wage rigidity...
