This study investigates the impact effect of monetary policy shocks on the exchange rates of Brazil, Mexico and Chile. We find that even a focus on 1 day exchange rate changes following policy events - which reduces the potential for reverse causality considerably - fails to lend support for the...

We construct a monetary economy in which agents face aggregate demand shocks and hetero- generous idiosyncratic preference shocks. We show that, even when the Friedman rule is the best interest rate policy, not all agents are satiated at the zero lower bound. Thus, quantitative easing can be...

Following the emergence of the global pandemic caused by COVID-19, governments have begun the process of stabilizing the shocks caused by the pandemic through macroeconomic policy id Est through fiscal policy and monetary policy. That is why it is a modern, new, and relevant topic for study....

Major central banks remunerate reserves at negative interest rates and it is increasingly likely that they will keep rates negative for many more years. To study the long run implications of negative rates, we construct a dynamic general equilibrium model with commercial banks funding investment...

This paper analyses the impact of the new Basel III liquidity standards, in particular the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), on the implementation of monetary policy in the Euro area. I develop a conceptual framework to investigate the interaction between the money market and monetary policy...

The recent global financial crisis has led central banks to rely heavily on "unconventional" monetary policies. This alternative approach to policy has generated much discussion and a heated and at times confusing debate. The debate has been complicated by the use of different definitions and...

We extend a standard New Keynesian model both to incorporate heterogeneity in spending opportunities along with two sources of (potentially time-varying) credit spreads and to allow a role for the central bank's balance sheet in determining equilibrium. We use the model to investigate the...

ECB President Draghi's Jackson Hole speech in August 2014 arguably marked a new phase of unconventional monetary policies (UMPs) in the euro area. This paper examines the market impact and tranmission channels of this new wave of UMPs using a modified event study framework. They are found to...

This study examines the dynamic effects of the oil price (OP) shocks on the key macroeconomic variables of Pakistan. A structural vector autoregressive model is used on yearly data from 1960 to 2014. The impulse response functions indicate that the OP shocks depress the real gross domestic...

It has been over one year since the invasion of Russia into Ukraine in February 2022. Several sanctions were applied, and its effects on the global economy in general, and Russian and Ukrainian economy in particular were serious. This aims to review the economic impacts of Russia and Ukraine war...
