Using functional shocks to assess conventional and unconventional monetary policy in Canada
Koeppl, Thorsten V.; Kronick, Jeremy M.; McNeil, James - 2023
We develop a new series of Canadian monetary policy shocks and analyze their impact on inflation and real GDP from 1996-2020. Our shocks are constructed as the daily change in the Nelson-Siegel yield curve factors after a monetary policy announcement. Because these shocks include information...
