We study the effects of the Federal Reserve's two Quantitative Tightening (QT) programmes implemented over the last decade. We use a high frequency identification strategy to distinguish between conventional monetary policy shocks, Treasury borrowing announcement shocks and the unwinding of the...

This paper examines the pass-through of European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy to deposit rates in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). We use aggregate and bank-level data to study interest rate pass-through by bank size and ownership for the period 2012-2023. In extensions, we also study...

In this paper, we discuss how environmental damage and emission reduction policies affect the conduct of monetary policy in a two-sector (clean and dirty) dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model. In particular, we examine the optimal response of the interest rate to changes in sectoral...

This study shows that, in a model with non-separable preferences for durable and non-durable goods, the effect of relative prices on the ratio of consumption for the two goods, known as the intratemporal elasticity of substitution, has decreased in the U.S. since 1981. We found that durable and...

This paper studies the impact of monetary policy on fiscal sustainability in the euro area. Our sample includes 12 euro area countries and covers the period from 2003:Q1 to 2022:Q4. We extend a fiscal reaction function (Bohn’s rule) by including the monetary policy stance as an interaction...

Why do some attempts at disinflation lead to substantial reductions in inflation while others do not? We investigate this question in the context of the Federal Reserve's attempts at disinflation since World War II. Our central finding is that a fundamental determinant of success in reducing...

Money rules the world. But the importance of money is far greater than conventional economic theory and its heroic equations suggest. People have invented their own forms of currency, they have used money in ways that baffle market theorists, they have incorporated money into friendship and...

L'argent dirige le monde. L'importance de l'argent est toutefois bien plus grande que ne le laissent entendre la théorie économique conventionnelle et ses équations héroïques. Les gens ont inventé leurs propres formes de monnaie, ils ont utilisé l'argent d'une manière qui laisse les...

This paper examines the impact of global liquidity on global commodity prices and asset prices in some major developing and developed economies. Specifically, the global liquidity on global commodity prices and asset prices is investigated using data from six major developing and emerging...
