Peltonen, Tuomo; Popescu, Adina; Sager, Michael - 2009
A core stylized fact of the empirical exchange rate literature is that half-life deviations of equilibrium real exchange rates from levels implied by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) are very persistent. Empirical efforts to explain this persistence typically proceed along two distinct paths,...

The global capital flows cycle : structural drivers and transmission channels
Habib, Maurizio Michael; Venditti, Fabrizio - 2019
In this paper, we study the effects of structural shocks that influence global risk - the main factor behind a "global capital flows cycle" - and how risk, in turn, is transmitted to capital flows. Our results show that not all the risk shocks driving the global financial cycle have the same...

The fundamentals of safe assets
Habib, Maurizio Michael; Stracca, Livio; Venditti, Fabrizio - 2020
We study what makes government bonds a safe asset. Building on a sample of monthly changes in government bond yields in 40 advanced and emerging countries, we analyse the sensitivity of yields to country specific fundamentals interacted with changes in global risk (VIX). We find that inertia...
