Changing patterns of risk-sharing channels in the United States and the euro area
Cimadomo, Jacopo; Giuliodori, Massimo; Lengyel, Andras; … - 2023
In this paper, we assess how risk-sharing channels have evolved over time in the United States and the Euro Area, and whether they have operated as "complements" or "substitutes". In particular, we focus on the capital channel (income from cross-border ownership of productive assets), the credit...

The predictive power of equilibrium exchange rate models
Ca'Zorzi, Michele; Cap, Adam; Mijakovic, Andrej; … - 2020
In this paper we evaluate the predictive power of the three most popular equilibrium exchange rate concepts: Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), Behavioral Equilibrium Exchange Rate (BEER) and the Macroeconomic Balance (MB) approach. We show that there is a clear trade-off between storytelling and...

Dynamic clustering of multivariate panel data
João, Igor Custodio; Lucas, André; Schaumburg, Julia; … - 2021
We propose a dynamic clustering model for uncovering latent time-varying group structures in multivariate panel data. The model is dynamic in three ways. First, the cluster location and scale matrices are time-varying to track gradual changes in cluster characteristics over time. Second, all...

Culture and household saving
Guin, Benjamin - 2017
This paper examines the role of culture in households' saving decisions. Exploiting the historical language borders within Switzerland, I isolate the effect of households' exposure to certain language groups from economic, institutional, demographic and geographic factors for a homogeneous and...

Inequality and relative saving rates at the top
Lieberknecht, Philipp; Vermeulen, Philip - 2018
We estimate the long- and short-run relationship between top income and wealth shares for France and the US since 1913. We find strong evidence for a long-run cointegration relationship governed by relative saving rates at the top. For both countries, we estimate a decline in the relative saving...

The effects of labor income risk heterogeneity on the marginal propensity to consume
Savoia, Ettore - 2023
Using detailed micro-data, this paper documents that households with lower income risk (and higher income levels) exhibit a higher Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) in response to transitory income shocks, all else being equal. This finding is particularly significant among unconstrained...

Consumer savings behaviour at low and negative interest rates
Felici, Marco; Kenny, Geoff; Friz, Roberta - 2022
We study interest rates transmission to savings at low and negative rates. Exploiting cohorts of consumers from a data …-rich multi-country survey, we show how the strength of interest rate transmission to savings varies with the level of nominal … levels, there is evidence that the savings response may even reverse sign. Such a "savings' reversal" is consistent with the …

Responses to monetary policy shocks in the east and the west of Europe : a comparison
Jarociński, Marek - 2008
This paper compares impulse responses to monetary policy shocks in the euro area countries before the EMU and in the New Member States (NMS) from central-eastern Europe. We mitigate the small sample problem, which is especially acute for the NMS, by using a Bayesian estimation that combines...

Econometric analysis of high dimensional VARs featuring a dominant unit
Pesaran, M. Hashem; Chudik, Alexander - 2010
This paper extends the analysis of infinite dimensional vector autoregressive models (IVAR) proposed in Chudik and Pesaran (2010) to the case where one of the variables or the cross section units in the IVAR model is dominant or pervasive. This extension is not straightforward and involves...

Weak and strong cross section dependence and estimation of large panels
Chudik, Alexander; Pesaran, M. Hashem; Tosetti, Elisa - 2009
This paper introduces the concepts of time-specific weak and strong cross section dependence. A double-indexed process is said to be cross sectionally weakly dependent at a given point in time, t, if its weighted average along the cross section dimension (N) converges to its expectation in...
