We identify forward guidance shocks using external instrument structural vector autoregression (SVAR). Contractionary forward guidance shocks raise both future output and price level, and this suggests that monetary policy announcements affect the expected future rate path mainly by revealing...

This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamic response to shocks, relying on a threshold quantile autoregression (TQAR) model as a flexible representation of stochastic dynamics. The TQAR model can identify zones of stability/instability and characterize resilience and traps. Resilience means...
