A monetáris politika magyar gazdaságra gyakorolt hatásait vizsgáló strukturális, dinamikus faktormodell számos makrogazdasági és ágazati idősor együttes tanulmányozását teszi lehetővé, így az eddigi idősoros elemzéseknél gazdagabb képet nyújt a monetáris...

A 2008-ban kirobbant pénzügyi válság ráirányította a figyelmet a főáramú makroökonómiára, amely a válság előrejelzésében és magyarázatában igen gyenge teljesítményről tett tanúbizonyságot. Az elmúlt másfél-két évtizedben az újklasszikus és az újkeynesi iskola...

We study the evolutions of monetary conditions in Romania previous and during the recession, and the extent to which GDP shocks are related to these conditions. The results confirmed the essential role of interest rate, credit and exchange rate in this respect, fact which underlines the...

The great contraction of 2008 pushed the U.S. economy into a protracted liquidity trap (i.e., a long period with zero nominal interest rates and inflationary expectations below target). In addition, the recovery was jobless (i.e., output growth recovered but unemployment lingered). This paper...

This paper uses factor-augmented vector autoregressions (FAVAR) estimated using a large data set to disentangle fluctuations in disaggregated consumer and producer prices which are due to macroeconomic factors from those due to sectorial conditions. This allows us to provide consistent estimates...

Research with Keynesian-style models has emphasized the importance of the output gap for policies aimed at controlling inflation while declaring monetary aggregates largely irrelevant. Critics, however, have argued that these models need to be modified to account for observed money growth and...

This paper studies a dynamic general equilibrium model with sticky prices and rational expectations in an environment of low interest rates and deflationary pressures. We show that small changes in the publics beliefs about the future inflation target of the government can lead to large swings...
