New Keynesian Phillips Curves

McAdam, Peter; Willman, Alpo - 2003

Using euro-area data, we re-examine the empirical success of New Keynesian Phillips Curves (NKPCs). The nature of our re-evaluation relies on the actual empirical underpinnings of such estimates: we find existing estimates un-robust and u0096 given that key parameters are generally calibrated...

How does the ECB allot liquidity in its weekly main refinancing operations?

Ejerskov, Steen; Moss, Clara Martin; Stracca, Livio - 2003

This paper provides a simple weekly model of the regular supply of liquidity in the euro area, with a view to understanding the functioning of the euro area money market. The main result of the analysis is that liquidity has normally been provided by the ECB in a neutral and smooth manner, but...

Inflation persistence and robust monetary policy design

This paper investigates the performance of optimised interest rate rules when there is uncertainty about a key determinant of the monetary transmission mechanism, namely the degree of persistence characterising the inﬂation process. The paper focuses on the euro area and utilises two variants of...

Definition of price stability, range and point inflation targets

We use survey data on long-term inflation expectations in 15 industrial countries … since the early nineties to investigate how well anchored are inflation expectations. We find that in all countries except … Japan long-term inflation expectations are well anchored and, generally, increasingly so over the past decade. When …

The output composition puzzle

Angeloni, Ignazio; Kashyap, Anil K.; Mojon, Benoît; … - 2003

We revisit recent evidence on how monetary policy affects output and prices in the U.S. and in the euro area. The response patterns to a shift in monetary policy are similar in most respects, but differ noticeably as to the composition of output changes. In the euro area investment is the...

Persistence, the transmission mechanism and robust monetary policy

Angeloni, Ignazio; Coenen, Günter; Smets, Frank - 2003

In this paper we first explore the impact of nominal and real persistence on the transmission process of various shocks in an estimated DSGE model of euro area. We then analyse its impact on optimal monetary policy and investigate the performance of various monetary policies when the policy...

Monetary policy transmission in the euro area

Angeloni, Ignazio; Ehrmann, Michael - 2003

We examine the euro area monetary policy transmission process using post-1999 data, with two main questions in mind: has it changed after u0096 and because of u0096 EMU and, if so, is it becoming homogeneous across countries. Given the data limitations, we concentrate on three blocks of...

The natural real rate of interest in the euro area

Giammarioli, Nicola; Valla, Natacha - 2003

In this paper, we discuss the consequences of taking into account the variations of the natural real interest rate (r t *) in simple monetary policy rules. We also provide one possible model-based analysis of the level of r t * that has prevailed in the euro area since the early 1970s, and...

Optimal allotment policy in the Eurosystem's main refinancing operations

Ewerhart, Christian; Cassola, Nuno; Ejerskov, Steen; … - 2003

On several occasions during the period 2001-2003, the European Central Bank (ECB) decided to deviate from its "neutral" benchmark allotment rule, with the effect of not alleviating a temporary liquidity shortage in the banking system. This is remarkable because it implied the possibility of...
