In this paper we investigate the effects of uncertainty shocks on economic activity using a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model with heterogenous agents and a stylized banking sector. We show that frictions in credit supply amplify the effects of uncertainty shocks on economic...

This paper argues that the impact of monetary policy shocks can interact with the financial environment, in particular with financial uncertainty, making monetary policy's effectiveness state dependent. To that end, we implement a smooth transition VAR model to examine monetary policy shocks, in...

We show that TFP reacts counter-cyclically to macroeconomic shocks, which we identify by imposing sign restrictions. Counterfactual simulations, based on a New Keynesian DSGE model, show that firms manage to employ labor more efficiently during downturns, which leads to a muted drop in the...

The MS … regression results show that China's monetary policy rule does exist regime changes, and the best fit is with a version that … in monetary shock's variance and steady-state of M2 growth rate.

In terms of regulatory and economic capital, credit risk is the most significant risk faced by banks. We implement a … credit risk model - based on publicly available information . with the aim of developing a tool to monitor credit risk in a … sample of large and complex banking groups (LCBGs) in the EU. The results indicate varying credit risk profiles across these …

The paper estimates a model that allows for shifts in the aggressiveness of monetary policy and time variation in the distribution of macroeconomic shocks. These model features induce variations in the cyclical properties of inflation and the riskiness of bonds. The estimation identifies...

We replicate this … estimated framework to quantify the output loss due to the large uncertainty shock that materialized in 2008Q3. We find such a … shock to be able to explain about 60% of the output loss in the 2008-2014 period. The same estimated model unveils the role …

We estimate a time-varying parameter VAR (TVP-VAR) with stochastic volatility using post- WWII U.S. data to study the effects of uncertainty shocks on inflation. We find the response of inflation to be statistically insignificant until mid-to-late 1990s and negative thereafter. Our findings...
