Se extiende el modelo propuesto por Bernanke yMihov (1998) para el caso de una economía parcialmente dolarizada para estimar los efectos de la política monetaria en el Perú entre 1995 y 2009. Los resultados indican que la política monetaria en el Perú, a pesar de ser esta una economía...

The well-known uncovered interest parity puzzle arises from the empirical regularity that, among developed country pairs, the high interest rate country tends to have high expected returns on its short term assets. At the same time, another strand of the literature has documented that high real...

This paper uses a Factor Augmented Vector Autoregressive model to assess the macroeconomic impact of the euro-area sovereign debt crisis and the effectiveness of the European Central Bank's conventional monetary policy. First, our results show that in the countries most affected by the crisis,...

This paper estimates the contributions of trade and financial linkages to the directed graph that describes the international propagation of macroeconomic shocks at the business cycle frequency. Among the findings: import and export intensity are asymmetrically associated with shock...

One of the main implications of the basic target zone model developed by Krugman (1991) is that there is a trade-off between exchange rate volatility and interest rate differential volatility. Using an M-GARCH model we find evidence that such a trade-off existed, prior to the introduction of the...

A regular phenomenon of the behavioral equilibrium exchange rate (BEER) model is analyzed. The result derived by the model is proved to contradict the economic fact and that by the Balassa-Samuelson model. The BEER model cannot be used, therefore, to calculate equilibrium exchange rate.

We estimate spillover effects of a fiscal shock in one member country in the euro area on outputs of the rest of the members, using a Global Vector Autoregression (GVAR) model. We compare the effects of a domestic fiscal shock with those of a similar size area-wide shock expressed as a weighted...

The literature typically finds that the development of financial markets has decreased the ability of central banks to affect the real economy. This paper shows that this negative relationship does not hold between the balance sheet channel of monetary transmission and bank globalization-one...

This paper explores implications of non-separable preferences with home production for international business cycles. Home production induces substitution effects that break the link between market consumption and its marginal utility and help explain several stylized facts of the open economy....

Using data for the Chilean mining sector, we provide SVAR evidence in order to answer the research question regarding what are the distributional consequences that commodity price shocks have in labour market outcomes for heterogeneous workers at business cycles frequencies in a Small Open...
