Non-fundamental exchange rate volatility and welfare
Straub, Roland; Tchakarov, Ivan - 2004
We lay out an empirical and a theoretical model to analyze the effects of non-fundamental exchange rate volatility on … of the conditional exogenous exchange rate volatility on the conditional mean of the endogenous variables in our open … empirically. In the second part, we investigate the effect of non-fundamental exchange rate volatility in a stochastic open …

Volatility of interest rates in the euro area
Cassola, Nuno; Morana, Claudio - 2003
This paper estimates the factors underlying the volatility of the euro overnight interest rate and its transmission …'s operational framework for monetary policy implementation. Strong persistence is detected in all log-volatility processes and and …. the second factor explains the transmission of volatility along the money market yield curve. We find evidence that most …

Why has broad money demand been more stable in the euro area than in other economies?
Calza, Alessandro; Sousa, João - 2003
Based on a literature review, this paper investigates the reasons why broad money demand has usually been found to be more stable in the euro area than in other large economies. The paper concludes that there are three main explanations for this fact. First, in some countries outside the euro...

Implementing optimal control in cointegrated I(1) structural VAR models
Monti, Francesca V. - 2003
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 into account is the effect of the presence of unit roots...

Interpolation and backdating with a large information set
Angelini, Elena; Henry, Jérôme; Marcellino, Massimiliano - 2003
Existing methods for data interpolation or backdating are either univariate or based on a very limited number of series, due to data and computing constraints that were binding until the recent past. Nowadays large datasets are readily available, and models with hundreds of parameters are fastly...

Monetary policy analysis in a small open economy using Bayesian cointegrated structural VARs
Villani, Mattias; Warne, Anders - 2003
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...

A markup model of inflation for the euro area
Bowdler, Christopher; Jansen, Eilev S. - 2004
Equilibrium correction models of the price level are often used to model inflation. Such models assume that the long-run markup of prices over costs is fixed, but this may not be true for the Euro area economy, which has undergone major structural reforms over the last 25 years. We allow for...

Modelling inflation in the euro area
Jansen, Eilev S. - 2004
The paper presents an incomplete competition model (ICM), where inflation is determined jointly with unit labour cost growth. The ICM is estimated on data for the Euro area and evaluated against existing models, i.e. the implicit inflation equation of the Area Wide model (AWM) - cf. Fagan, Henry...
