. Here, we employ identification based on Choleski decomposition and a structural VAR, both of which lead to the same results …We use a Vector Auto Regression (VAR) analysis to explore the (spill-over) effects of fiscal policy shocks in Europe …

A central puzzle in international finance is that real exchange rates are volatile and, in stark contradiction to effcient risk-sharing, negatively correlated with cross-country consumption ratios. This paper shows that incomplete asset markets and a low price elasticity of tradables can account...

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, for West Germany, France, Italy and US, we econometrically select within a SVAR model some fiscal policy regimes, i.e. a u0094set of rulesu0094 for the implementation of fiscal policies. Second, we identify the fiscal policy shocks related to different...

This paper examines the feasibility of implementing Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) Control in structural cointegrated … VAR models and sheds some light on the two major problems generated by such implementation. The first aspect to be taken … part of it or none of it. The second issue involves the structural form of the model. It will be shown in this paper that …

Structural VARs have been extensively used in empirical macroeconomics during the last two decades, particularly in … analyses of monetary policy. Existing Bayesian procedures for structural VARs are at best confined to a severly limited … handling of cointegration restrictions. This paper extends the Bayesian analysis of structural VARs to cover cointegrated …

This paper uses the co-incidence of extreme shocks to banksu0092 risk to examine within country and across country contagion among large EU banks. Banksu0092 risk is measured by the first difference of weekly distances to default and abnormal returns. Using Monte Carlo simulations, the paper...
