In recent years, because of the 2008 financial crisis and the evolution of the sovereign debt markets, there has been a significant increase in interest in understanding the factors that determine the risk premium, becoming a key indicator of the financial stability of countries, and a measure...

Empirical evidence for advanced economies suggests that following a monetary tightening, commercial and industrial bank loans show a positive "puzzling response". Since there is no wide evidence for the Mexican case, this paper analyzes the response of bank loans at the sectoral level after a...

This study examines the relationship between sovereign spreads and banks in terms of risk transmission, using the seven largest Italian banks as a sample over the period from 2003 to 2023. Our objective is to quantify and compare volatility spillovers, and to investigate whether bank-specific...

This paper analyses the impact of various macroeconomic shocks - including aggregate demand, supply, monetary policy, real exchange rate, and budget deficit deviation shocks - on Romania's economy using a VAR model with Bayesian inference. The study captures the period following the adoption of...

The evidence of financial globalization and the rapid and uniform contagion that it entails among the different international financial markets, have been exposed after the 2008 crisis outbreak, as well as the different chapters of financial stress that have been experienced since then, such as...

Establishing a clear link between prices of conventional and niche product versions can help address challenges associated with anticipating these prices and attenuate concerns related to thin market conditions. In that regard, we analyze the price dynamics, differentiating between agri-product...

The tourism industry is highly susceptible to global economic fluctuations and uncertainties. Understanding the asymmetric effects of macroeconomic factors on tourism demand is crucial for developing effective policies and strategies in the sector. This study examines the asymmetric impacts of...

The empirical migration literature often identifies the labor market effects of immigration using exogenous variation of migration concentration across sectors. However, this approach differences out macroeconomic effects which occur in all sectors. We apply macroeconomic time series methods to...

Using panel data spanning 2004-2023 of 21 countries in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, we measure systemic risk and assess its influence on key banking sector performance indicators, including financial stability (proxied by commercial bank branches per 100,000 adults), providing...

Impulse response functions (IRFs) are crucial for analyzing the dynamic interactions of macroeconomic variables in vector autoregressive (VAR) models. However, traditional IRF estimation methods often have limitations with assumptions on variable ordering and restrictive identification...

The empirical migration literature often identifies the labor market effects of immi- gration using exogenous variation of migration concentration across sectors or regions. However, this approach differences out macroeconomic effects which occur in all sec- tors. In this paper we apply...

Using high-frequency macro data from a financially deregulated regime, this paper examines whether there is any evidence of financial crowding out in India. The macroeconomic channel through which financial crowding out occurs is the link between the fiscal deficit and the interest rate...

This paper estimates the fiscal multipliers of green public spending using a linear Bayesian Panel VAR and a Smooth Transition VAR framework, with quarterly data for the period 1995Q1-2022Q4 for EU member states. We group EU member states based on similar- ities in debt trajectories and green...

This paper examines exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) to prices in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, focusing on the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Romania. We employ a Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) model to analyse the transmission of exchange rate shocks to...
