We analyse the determinants of unemployment persistence in four OECD countries byestimating a structural Bayesian VAR with an informative prior based on an insiders/outsiders model. We explicitly insert unemployment ben- efits and labour taxes so that our identification is not affected by the...

This study evaluates the empirical significance of idiosyncratic pricing shocks in inflation dynamics. To this end, using store-level price data for a selected group of products and employing identification schemes dictated by (S,s) pricing theory, product-level Structural Vector Autoregressions...

Zusammenfassung In diesem Beitrag wird die Inflationsrate in Deutschland mit Hilfe eines Common Trends Modells untersucht. Ausgehend von einem IS-LM Modell der offenen Volkswirtschaft wird zunächst eine Kointegrationsanalyse durchgeführt, die der Bestimmung plausibler Langfristbeziehungen...

Summary The day-to-day interbank rate usually is taken as an indicator of Bundesbank policy. But this neither fits in the institutional settings in Germany nor the identification problem is solved, because this interest rate reflects supply-side as well as demand-side shocks. The purpose of the...
