Applying the monetary policy function, this paper finds that real GDP in Bangladesh is positively associated with real deprecation, real financial stock price, and world output and negatively influenced by the world real interest rate. The coefficient of the ratio of government consumption...

Applying an open-economy macroeconomic model, incorporating the monetary policy reaction function and uncovering interest parity, this paper finds that the expected real exchange rate and real output exhibit an inverted J-shape relationship, suggesting that expected real depreciation increases...

This paper uses a VAR model to quantify the relative importance of external debt, exchange rates, monetary policy and other selected variables when explaining output fluctuations in Brazil. Using the money market rate as a policy instrument, impulse response functions indicate that shocks to the...

Applying a general equilibrium approach, this paper examines output fluctuations in Poland and finds that real output is negatively influenced by the deficit/GDP ratio, the euro interest rate, the expected inflation rate, and country risk and positively affected by real quantity of money and...
