Evidence on the effectiveness of FX interventions in the prevailing higher frequency approaches leaves a gap at horizons going beyond a few days. This is addressed by identifying a structural vector autoregressive model for the daily frequency with an external instrument. Using Japanese data, we...

The European Central Bank has engaged in a wide range of nonstandard monetary policy measures since 2007. Each new tool was accompanied by an intense public debate on its effectiveness. This study evaluates the average effect of these measures on the macro-economy. The estimates show that...

Die Europäische Zentralbank hat seit 2007 zahlreiche unkonventionelle geldpolitische Maßnahmen umgesetzt. Jedes neue Instrument wurde von einer heftigen öffentlichen Debatte über seine Wirksamkeit begleitet. Diese Studie evaluiert die makroökonomischen Effekte dieser Maßnahmen. Die...

Evidence on the effectiveness of FX interventions is either limited to short horizons or hampered by debatable identification. We address these limitations by identifying a structural vector autoregressive model for the daily frequency with an external instrument. Generally, we find, for freely...

We study the multifaceted effects and persistence of trade policy shocks on financial markets in a structural vector autoregression. The model is identified via event day heteroskedasticity. We find that restrictive US trade policy shocks affect US and international stock prices heterogeneously,...

We study the multifaceted effects of trade policy shocks on financial markets using a structural vector autoregression identified via event day heteroskedasticity. We find that restrictive US trade policy shocks affect US and international stock prices heterogeneously, but generally negatively....

With its America First strategy, the former US administration turned away from an internationally oriented trade policy. It attempted to assert its interests, especially vis-à-vis China, with bilateral and mostly restrictive measures such as import tariffs. This Weekly Report shows that the...

Mit ihrer America-First-Strategie hat sich die letzte US-Regierung von einer international ausgerichteten Handelspolitik abgewendet. Sie versuchte, ihre Interessen, gerade gegenüber China, mit bilateralen und meist restriktiven Maßnahmen, wie Importzöllen, durchzusetzen. Der Beitrag zeigt,...
