Nickel, Christiane (contributor);  … - 2008
This paper analyses the empirical relationship between fiscal policy and the current account of the balance of payments and considers how Ricardian equivalence changes this relationship. To do so, we estimate a dynamic panel threshold model for 22 industrialised countries in which the...

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...

We study the cyclical dynamics of consumption in the euro area (EA) and the large EA countries by distinguishing … cross-country heterogeneity in how different factors (including durable-specific ones) explain consumption; (iii) the … strength of spillovers from durable to nondurable consumption, as predicted by theory, is empirically correlated with how much …

Monetary and fiscal policy interactions in a New Keynesian model with capital accumulation and non-Ricardian consumers
Leith, Campbell B. (contributor);  … - 2006
This paper develops a small New Keynesian model with capital accumulation and government debt dynamics. The paper discusses the design of simple monetary and fiscal policy rules consistent with determinate equilibrium dynamics in the absence of Ricardian equivalence. Under this assumption,...

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...

Fourth, higher MPC is obtained for the two main consumption expenditure categories …. Fifth, we find evidences that housing prices shock decreases consumption inequality while financial wealth shocks have a …

Sudden stops and asset purchase programmes in the euro area
Fabiani, Josefina; Fidora, Michael; Setzer, Ralph; … - 2021
This paper analyses the incidence and severity of sudden stops in euro area countries before and after the introduction of the ECB's asset purchase programmes. We define sudden stops as abrupt declines in private net financial inflows, i.e. total flows adjusted for EU and IMF loans and changes...

Schuler, Tobias; Sun, Yiqiao - 2022
We investigate the factors driving current account and monetary policy developments in the euro area. We estimate an open-economy structural vector autoregression (VAR) model with zero and sign restrictions derived from a multi-country dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model to...
