This paper studies the responses of residential property and equity prices, inflation and economic activity to monetary policy shocks in 17 countries, using data spanning 1986 - 2006. We estimate VARs for individual economies and panel VARs in which we distinguish between groups of countries on...

We look at a panel of Latin American countries from 1970 and 2016 to enquire how exchange rate pass-through has changed over time, and whether this owes to monetary or real shocks hitting the economy. We estimate conventional pass-through measures, both short and long run; then we obtain rolling...

This paper constructs a new measure of monetary policy shocks that is orthogonal to fundamentals by combining the high-frequency approach of Gurkaynak et al. (2005) and Romer and Romer (2004)'s narrative approach. The empirical features of the new measure are: (i) contractionary monetary policy...
