We study the cross-country dimension of financial cycles for six euro area countries using three different methodologies: principal component analysis, synchronicity and similarity measures and wavelet analysis. We find that equity prices and interest rates display synchronization across...

This paper aims to shed light on the role of credit supply shocks in euro area countries during the recent pre-crisis …, bust, and post-crisis periods. A time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) with stochastic volatility à la … economy have generally increased since the recent crisis. Moreover, we report evidence that credit supply shocks contributed …
