Evidence on the effectiveness of FX interventions in the prevailing higher frequency approaches leaves a gap at horizons going beyond a few days. This is addressed by identifying a structural vector autoregressive model for the daily frequency with an external instrument. Using Japanese data, we...

We study the multifaceted effects and persistence of trade policy shocks on financial markets in a structural vector autoregression. The model is identified via event day heteroskedasticity. We find that restrictive US trade policy shocks affect US and international stock prices heterogeneously,...

Evidence on the effectiveness of FX interventions is either limited to short horizons or hampered by debatable identification. We address these limitations by identifying a structural vector autoregressive model for the daily frequency with an external instrument. Applying this approach to the...

Der Krieg in der Ukraine hat den seit Mitte des vergangenen Jahres zu beobachtenden Anstieg der Ölpreise verstärkt und schlägt sich für die VerbraucherInnen in Deutschland merklich in zahlreichen Preissteigerungen, wie bei den Kraftstoffpreisen und Heizkosten, nieder. Auch wenn der russische...

We study the multifaceted effects of trade policy shocks on financial markets using a structural vector autoregression identified via event day heteroskedasticity. We find that restrictive US trade policy shocks affect US and international stock prices heterogeneously, but generally negatively....

With its America First strategy, the former US administration turned away from an internationally oriented trade policy. It attempted to assert its interests, especially vis-à-vis China, with bilateral and mostly restrictive measures such as import tariffs. This Weekly Report shows that the...

Mit ihrer America-First-Strategie hat sich die letzte US-Regierung von einer international ausgerichteten Handelspolitik abgewendet. Sie versuchte, ihre Interessen, gerade gegenüber China, mit bilateralen und meist restriktiven Maßnahmen, wie Importzöllen, durchzusetzen. Der Beitrag zeigt,...

Evidence on the effectiveness of foreign exchange (FX) interventions is either limited to short horizons or hampered by debatable identification. We address these limitations by identifying a structural vector autoregressive model for the daily frequency with an external instrument. Generally we...
