Remittances are the largest sources of foreign funds and are critical for economic development in South Asia. However, they have been found to damage the environment by promoting the production and consumption of energy-intensive products and pose challenges for achieving Sustainable Development...

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...

This paper quantifies the economic influence that shocks to EMU cohesion, which in turn reflect the incomplete nature of the monetary union, have on the rest of the world. Disentangling euro area stress shocks and global risk aversion shocks based on a combination of sign, magnitude and...

We propose the use of state-space models (SSMs) to estimate dynamic spatial relationships from time series data. At each time step, the weight matrix, capturing the latent state, is updated by a spatial autoregressive model. Specifically, we consider two types of SSM: the first one calibrates...

The primary objectives of this research are to compare the economic performance of the Member States (MS) in the Euro Area 12 (EA-12) of the European Union (EU) that served as net contributors and net recipients of its budget during the period 1998-2022. The comparison focuses on aspects related...

We propose a new tool to filter non-linear dynamic models that does not require the researcher to specify the model fully and can be implemented without solving the model. If two conditions are satisfied, we can use a flexible statistical model and a known measurement equation to back out the...

This paper provides novel estimations of a non-linear exchange rate pass-through dependent on inflation for Sweden using a logistic smooth transition vector autoregressive model. The model enables smooth transitions between high and low inflation regimes, mirroring the dynamics of the economy...

This paper aims to verify the relationship between the international markets for crude oil and carbon credits. We studied the returns of prices practiced in these markets, focusing on the transmission of shocks between oil prices and carbon credit prices. The methodological approach used...

Using a data-driven identification approach of structural vector autoregressive models, we analyse the factors driving the US dollar exchange rate for a sample of eight advanced countries over the period 1980M1 to 2022M6. We find that the exchange rates are significantly affected not only by US...
