How does global risk impact the world economy? In taking up this question, we focus on the dollar’s role in the … global risk shocks in a Bayesian Proxy VAR model. They cause a synchronized contraction of global economic activity and … illustrate through counterfactuals that the dollar appreciation amplifies the adverse impact of global risk shocks outside of the …

The paper shows that mispriced deposit insurance and capital regulation were of second order importance in determining the capital structure of large U.S. and European banks during 1991 to 2004. Instead, standard cross-sectional determinants of non-financial firms' leverage carry over to banks,...

We build a new empirical model to estimate the global impact of an increase in the volatility of US monetary policy shocks. Specifically, we admit time-varying variances of local structural shocks from a stochastic volatility specification. By allowing for rich dynamic interaction between the...

In this paper, we assess how risk-sharing channels have evolved over time in the United States and the Euro Area, and …-varying parameter panel VAR model, with stochastic volatility, which allows us to formally quantify time variation in risk …-sharing channels. Second, we develop a new test of the complementarity vs. substitutability hypothesis of the three risk …

We use a version of the New Area-Wide Model (NAWM) developed at the ECB in order to quantify the gains from monetary policy cooperation. The model is calibrated in order to match a set of empirical moments. We then derive the cooperative and (open-loop) Nash monetary policies, assuming that the...

We estimate the degree of "stickiness" in aggregate consumption growth (sometimes interpreted as reflecting consumption habits) for thirteen advanced economies. We find that, after controlling for measurement error, consumption growth has a high degree of autocorrelation, with a stickiness...
