[eng] Modeling Equilibrium Exchange Rates and Estimating them for the Euro, Dollar and Yen by Laurent Maurin . This paper starts with a discussion of the problematic of equilibrium exchange rates and then presents NATREX. Based on this, we develop a model that studies both the foreign debt and...

This paper estimates euro area banks’ internal target capital ratios and investigates whether banks’ adjustment to the targets affects their credit supply and securities holdings during the financial crisis in 2005–2011. Based on data on listed banks and country-specific macro-variables, a...

Several factor-based models are estimated to investigate the role of country-specific trade and survey data in forecasting euro area manufacturing production. Following Boivin and Ng (2006), the emphasis is put on the role of dataset selection on the empirical performance of factor models....

We implement a two-step approach to construct a financing conditions index (FCI) for the euro area and its four larger member states (Germany, France, Italy and Spain). The method, which follows Hatzius et al. (2010), is based on factor analysis and enables to summarise information on financing...

Several factor-based models are estimated to investigate the role of country-specific trade and survey data in forecasting euro area manufacturing production. Following Boivin and Ng (2006), the emphasis is put on the choice of the dataset chosen to estimate the factors. Four datasets are built...

We develop a partial adjustment model in order to estimate the factors contributing to banks’ internal target capital ratio, lending policy and holding of securities. The model is estimated on a panel of listed euro area banks and country specific macrovariables. Firstly, banks’ internal...

[fre] Afin de déterminer les taux de change réels d'équilibre de l'euro et du dollar, nous étudions le déficit public comme facteur de distorsion de change. Nous montrons la possibilité, à court et à moyen terme, de sur-réaction du taux de change réel à une variation du solde...
