Exchange Rate Shocks and Inflation Comovement in the Euro Area
Leiva‐Leon, Danilo - 2020
This paper decomposes the time-varying effect of exogenous exchange rate shocks on euro area countries inflation into country-specific (idiosyncratic) and region-wide (common) components. To do so, we propose a flexible empirical framework based on dynamic factor models subject to drifting...

The Exchange Rate, Asymmetric Shocks and Asymmetric Distributions
Demian, Vlad - 2015
The elasticity of exports to exchange rate fluctuations has been the subject of a large literature without a clear consensus emerging. Using a novel sector level dataset based on firm level information, we show that exchange rate elasticities double in size when the country and sector specific...

Global Commodity Cycles and Linkages : A FAVAR Approach
Lombardi, Marco J. - 2010
In this paper we examine linkages across non-energy commodity price developments by means of a factor-augmented VAR model (FAVAR). From a set of non-energy commodity price series, we extract two factors, which we identify as common trends in metals and a food prices. These factors are included...

Since 2000, absorbing this shock has become less costly in terms of output, notwithstanding … some reversal since the beginning of the global financial crisis.

US Shocks and Global Exchange Rate Configurations
Fratzscher, Marcel - 2021
The paper analyses the heterogeneity in the link between macroeconomic fundamentals and exchange rates. For a set of important US-specific economic shocks, it shows that such shocks have exerted a remarkably heterogeneous effect on global exchange rate configurations over the past 25 years....

Can Non-Linear Real Shocks Explain the Persistence of PPP Exchange Rate Disequilibria?
Peltonen, Tuomas A. - 2011
A core stylized fact of the empirical exchange rate literature is that half-life deviations of equilibrium real exchange rates from levels implied by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) are very persistent. Empirical efforts to explain this persistence typically proceed along two distinct paths,...

Market Power and Fiscal Policy in OECD Countries
Afonso, António - 2010
We compute average mark-ups as a measure of market power throughout time and study their interaction with fiscal policy and macroeconomic variables in a VAR framework. From impulse-response functions the results, with annual data for a set of 14 OECD countries covering the period 1970-2007, show...
