This study innovates from prior research which focuses on the determinants of sovereign ratings and credit default swap spreads for a large sample of countries by incorporating the quality of central banks, let alone refined proxies. Findings show that the explanatory power of both sovereign...

We conduct a Monte Carlo experiment using an ad-hoc New Keynesian model and a tractable agent-based model to generate artificial credit cycle episodes. We show that fluctuations in the implicit measures of the natural rate of interest obtained using a conventional trivariate Kalman filter on...

In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between interest rate and inflation rate in the context of the Fisher effect hypothesis for Fragile five economies. In this regard, we employ recently developed panel co-integration and panel causality test methods. The bi-directional causal...

Ghana's economy is characterised by acute exchange rate volatility alongside persistent and high consumer inflation. This places the economy among the sub-Saharan African countries with the highest inflation over the years. Therefore, we explore in-sample and out-of-sample macro-volatility...

This study examines the effectiveness of non-linear monetary policy interest rate channel shocks for the Turkish economy using the threshold VAR analysis in the period of 2006-2019. The interest channel is examined with the two models for both consumption transfer and investment transfer models....

This study investigates the effectiveness of ROM. We conducted the GARCH (1,1) Model to determine whether ROM contributed to decreasing the volatility of USD/TL exchange rate for the period 2013-2014. We construct four Models where four different variables are separately used that represent the...

This study aims to examine the determinants of the MIR interest rate in the Euro area for the period 2003Q1-2015Q3. By employing Fixed and Random Effects as econometric methodologies, I examine whether the MIR rate is affected by the following macroeconomic factors: unemployment rate, inflation...

After the global crisis, one of the most important lessons learned by central banks appears to be the vital importance of financial stability along with price stability. Hence, finding solutions to how to incorporate the financial stability objective in the pursuit of monetary policy without...

The connection between fiscal policy and financial stability has a two-direction nature. Irresponsible fiscal policy will initiate the consequences on the financial system, while crisis ituations in financial institutions will sometimes require government intervention. The goal of this paper is...
