"This paper studies the small estimated effects of monetary policy shocks from standard VAR's versus the large effects from the Romer and Romer (2004) approach. The differences are driven by three factors: the different contractionary impetus, the period of reserves targeting and lag length...

This paper studies the estimated effects of monetary policy shocks from standard VAR's, which are small, and those from the approach of Romer and Romer (2004), which are large. The differences appear to be driven by three factors: a) the contractionary impetus associated with each shock, b) the...

To understand the effects of large-scale asset purchase programs recently implemented by central banks, we study how markets absorb large demand shocks for risk-free debt. Using high-frequency identification, we exploit the structure of the primary market for U.S. Treasuries to isolate demand...
