Real wage effects of Japan's monetary policy
Latsos, Sophia - 2018
This paper examines real wage effects of monetary policy in Japan, particularly during the past two decades of monetary easing. The literature generally attributes real wage trends to structural factors that influence the nominal wage components, such as the disappearance of downward nominal...

The impact of Covid-19 related policy responses on municipal debt markets
Bernhardt, Robert; D'Amico, Stefania; Sordo Palacios, … - 2021
Municipal (muni) bonds are an important source of funding for state and local governments. During the Covid-19 pandemic, muni debt markets became severely distressed. In response, the Federal Reserve established the Municipal Liquidity Facility (MLF). Meanwhile, Congress enacted extensive fiscal...

Effects of policy on fertility: A systematic review of (quasi)experiments
Bergsvik, Janna; Fauske, Agnes; Hart, Rannveig K. - 2020
This paper describes the results of a systematic review of the literature of policy effects on fertility after 1970 in Europe, USA, Canada and Australia. Empirical studies were selected through extensive systematic searches, with subsequent literature list screening. Inclusion was conditional on...

Calculating confidence intervals for continuous and discontinuous functions of parameters
Woutersen, Tiemen; Ham, John C. - 2013
Applied researchers often need to estimate confidence intervals for functions of parameters, such as the effects of counterfactual policy changes. If the function is continuously differentiable and has non-zero and bounded derivatives, then they can use the delta method. However, if the function...

Bridging the Gap in Pension Participation: How Much Can Universal Tax-Deferred Pension Coverage Hope to Achieve?
Karamcheva, Nadia; Sanzenbacher, Geoffrey - 2013

Calculating confidence intervals for continuous and discontinuous functions of estimated parameters
Ham, John C.; Woutersen, Tiemen - 2011
The delta method is commonly used to calculate confidence intervals of functions of estimated parameters that are differentiable with non-zero, bounded derivatives. When the delta method is inappropriate, researchers usually first use a bootstrap procedure where they i) repeatedly take a draw...
