Monetary-Based Asset Pricing : A Mixed-Frequency Structural Approach
Bianchi, Francesco; Ludvigson, Sydney C.; Ma, Sai - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We integrate a high-frequency monetary event study into a mixed-frequency macro-finance model and structural estimation …. The model and estimation allow for jumps at Fed announcements in investor beliefs, providing granular detail on why … financial market risk. However, the structural estimation also finds that much of the causal impact of monetary policy on …

Monetary Policy in Japan, Germany and the United States : Does One Size Fit All?
Chinn, Menzie D. - 1997
We study the post-war evidence for Japan to see if the same specification for both the economy and the monetary policy rule is useful for understanding Japan's economy and monetary policy. A recurrent theme in the literature on Japanese monetary policy is that there are significant differences...

The Long and Variable Lags of Monetary Policy : Evidence from Disaggregated Price Indices
Aruoba, S. Borağan; Drechsel, Thomas - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
We study how monetary policy affects subcomponents of the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCEPI) using local projections. Following a monetary policy contraction, the response of aggregate PCEPI turns significantly negative after over three years. There are stark differences in...

Does Inflation Targeting Increase Output Volatility? An International Comparison of Policymakers' Preferences and Outcomes
Cecchetti, Stephen G. - 1999
Aggregate shocks that move output and inflation in opposite directions create a tradeoff between output and inflation variability, forcing central bankers to make a choice. Differences in the degree of accommodation of shocks lead to disparate variability outcomes, revealing national central...

Analysis of the Monetary Transmission Mechanism : Methodological Issues
McCallum, Bennett T. - 1999
This paper argues that, in studying the monetary policy transmission process, more emphasis should be given to the systematic portion of policy behavior and correspondingly less to random shocks basically because shocks account for a very small fraction of policy-instrument variability. Analysis...

The Phillips Curve is Back? Using Panel Data to Analyze the Relationship Between Unemployment and Inflation in an Open Economy
DiNardo, John - 1999
Expanding on an approach suggested by Ashenfelter (1984), we extend the Phillips curve to an open economy and exploit panel data to estimate the textbook 'expectations augmented' Phillips curve with a market-based and observable measure of inflation expectations. We develop this measure using...

New Directions for Stochastic Open Economy Models
Obstfeld, Maurice - 1999
The paper develops a simple stochastic new open economy macroeconomic model based on sticky nominal wages. Explicit solution of the wage-setting problem under uncertainty allows one to analyze the effects of the monetary regime on welfare, expected output, and the expected terms of trade....

The Science of Monetary Policy : A New Keynesian Perspective
Clarida, Richard - 1999
This paper reviews the recent literature on monetary policy rules. We exploit the monetary policy design problem within a simple baseline theoretical framework. We then consider the implications of adding various real world complications. Among other things, we show that the optimal policy...

A Note on Temporary Supply Shocks with Aggregate Demand Inertia
Caballero, Ricardo J.; Simsek, Alp - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We study optimal monetary policy during temporary supply contractions when aggregate demand has inertia and expansionary policy is constrained. In this environment, it is optimal to run the economy hot until supply recovers. Positive output gaps in the low-supply phase lessen the negative output...
