Monetary and macroprudential policies in an estimated model with financial intermediation

We estimate the Smets and Wouters (2007) model augmented with the Gertler and Karadi (2011) financial intermediation sector on US data by using real and financial observables. Given the framework of the estimated model, we address the question whether and how standard monetary policy should...

Fatás, Antonio; Mihov, Ilian; Rose, Andrew K. - 2006

We study empirically the macroeconomic effects of an explicit de jure quantitative goal for monetary policy. Quantitative goals take three forms: exchange rates, money growth rates, and inflation targets. We analyze the effects on inflation of both having a quantitative target, and of hitting a...

A tale of four tails: Inflation, the policy rate, longer-term rates, and stock prices

Anene, Dominic; D'Amico, Stefania - 2017

We analyze empirical links between the perceived tail-risk of inflation, the policy rate, longer-term interest rates, and equity prices in the U.S. Their simultaneous changes enable us to distinguish between a systematic and "exogenous" response to monetary-policy news. And, those tail...

Causal inference by independent component analysis with applications to micro- and macroeconomic data

Moneta, Alessio; Entner, Doris; Hoyer, Patrik; Coad, Alex - 2010

Structural vector-autoregressive models are potentially very useful tools for guiding both macro- and microeconomic policy. In this paper, we present a recently developed method for exploiting non-Gaussianity in the data for estimating such models, with the aim of capturing the causal structure...

Causal effects of monetary shocks: semiparametric conditional independence tests with a multinomial propensity score

Angrist, Joshua D.; Kuersteiner, Guido M. - 2008

Macroeconomists have long been concerned with the causal effects of monetary policy. When the identification of causal effects is based on a selection-on-observables assumption, non-causality amounts to the conditional independence of outcomes and policy changes. This paper develops a...

Monetary policy and the current account: Theory and evidence

Hjortsoe, Ida; Weale, Martin; Wieladek, Tomasz - 2016

Does the current account improve or deteriorate following a monetary policy expansion? We examine this issue theoretically and empirically. We show that a standard open economy DSGE model predicts that the current account response to a monetary policy shock depends on the degree of economic...

Some variables are more worthy than others: New diffusion index evidence on the monitoring of key economic indicators

Monetary policy and real estate prices: A disaggregated analysis for Switzerland

Berlemann, Michael; Freese, Julia - 2010

Most empirical studies found that monetary policy has a significant effect on house prices while stock markets remain unaffected by interest rate shocks. In this paper we conduct a more detailed analysis by studying various sub-segments of the real estate market. Employing a new dataset for...
