Tracking growth in the euro area subject to a dimensionality problem
Comunale, Mariarosaria; Mongelli, Francesco Paolo - 2021
We investigate which variables have supported growth in the euro area over the last 30 years. This is a challenging task due to dimensionality problems: a large set of potential determinants, limited data, and the prospect that some variables could be non-stationary. We assemble a set of 35...

The asymmetric adjustment of global imbalances : myth or fact?
Dausà, Neus; Stracca, Livio - 2023
We revisit the so-called "secular international problem", whereby the adjustment of current account imbalances purportedly falls entirely on the shoulders of deficit countries. We introduce a stylised model to rationalise an asymmetric counter-cyclical policy reaction that is stronger for...

Fabiani, Josefina; Fidora, Michael; Setzer, Ralph; … - 2021
