Using a Bayesian Vector Autoregressive Model (BVAR) analysis, this paper explores the link between financial stress, economic activity, and government debt in Turkiye from January 1992 to December 2020. First, using the equally variance weighting approach, we calculate a financial stress index...

We study whether the response of the economy to structural shocks changes at the zero lower bound. Monte Carlo evidence suggests that VARs have a limited ability to detect changes in impulse response functions at the ZLB compared to the standard environment with positive interest rates. This...

We develop a structural vector autoregressive framework that combines external instruments and heteroskedasticity for identification of monetary policy shocks. We show that exploiting both types of information sharpens structural inference, allows testing the relevance and exogeneity condition...

We study the relationship between monetary policy and long‐term rates in a structural, general equilibrium model estimated on both macro‐ and yield‐data from the United States. Regime shifts in the conditional variance of productivity shocks, or "uncertainty shocks," are a crucial driver...

By examining the connectedness of carry trade currency with stock, foreign exchange (forex), and commodity markets, the paper investigates the extent to which shocks in capital flows driven by interest-rate differentials affect financial markets. Following the framework of Diebold and Yilmaz...

We contribute to the literature on the international propagation of uncertainty shocks with a Global Vector Autoregressive (GVAR) model that quantifies the spillover effects of uncertainty shocks in the US on to real equity prices of 32 advanced and emerging countries (besides the US). In this...
