The central banks introduce and implement the monetary and financial stabilities policies, going from the accurate estimations of national macro-financial indicators such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Analyzing the dependence of the GDP on the time, the central banks accurately estimate...

We investigate drivers of Euro area inflation dynamics using a panel of regional Phillips curves and identify long-run inflation expectations by exploiting the crosssectional dimension of the data. Our approach simultaneously allows for the inclusion of country-specific inflation and...

We estimate the domestic and international transmission of 4 types of US monetary policy, namely the current fed funds rate, Odyssean and Delphic forward guidance, and large-scale asset purchases. A credit channel is involved in the international transmission, driving large deviations from the...
