The effects of the ECB's pandemic-related monetary policy measures

Nelimarkka, Jaakko; Laine, Olli-Matti - 2021

We assess the macroeconomic impact of pandemic-related monetary policy measures of the ECB. Conditioning on counterfactual interest rate paths that would have materialised in the absence of the policies, the macroeconomic effects are measured using structural vector autoregressions. In the...

Does austerity pay off?

Born, Benjamin; Müller, Gernot J.; Pfeifer, Johannes - 2015

We ask whether cuts of government consumption lower or raise the sovereign default premium. To address this question, we set up a new data set for 38 emerging and advanced economies which contains quarterly time-series observations for sovereign default premia, government consumption, and...

Oil Shocks and the U.S. Economy : Evidence from a FAVAR Model

De, Kuhelika - 2020

We investigate the economic eﬀects of three separate types of oil price shocks on the U.S. economy using a factor augmented vector autoregression framework and 185 monthly macroeconomic indicators from 1978 to 2017. We ﬁnd that while increases in the price of crude oil triggered by oil...

Sign restrictions and statistical identification under volatility breaks : simulation based evidence and an empirical application to monetary policy analysis ; conference paper

Herwartz, Helmut; Plödt, Martin - 2014

Apart from a priori assumptions on instantaneous or long run effects of structural shocks, sign restrictions have become a prominent means for structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) analysis. Moreover, second order heterogeneity of systems of times series can be fruitfully exploited for...

What are the effects of fiscal policy shocks?

Mountford, Andrew (contributor); Uhlig, Harald (contributor) - 2005

We propose and apply a new approach for analyzing the effects of fiscal policy using vector autoregressions. Unlike most of the previous literature this approach does not require that the contemporaneous reaction of some variables to fiscal policy shocks be set to zero or need additional...

Time variation in macro-financial linkages

Prieto, Esteban; Eickmeier, Sandra; Marcellino, Massimiliano - 2013

We analyze the contribution of credit spread, house and stock price shocks to GDP growth in the US based on a Bayesian VAR with time-varying parameters estimated over 1958-2012. Our main findings are: (i) The contribution of financial shocks to GDP growth fluctuates from about 20 percent in...
