The monetary policy of the People's Bank of China (PBoC) during 2001-2023 is assessed in terms of Taylor and McCallum rules, as well as a proposed composite monetary policy rule. PBoC policy is found to be responsive to the gap between target and actual nominal GDP in the McCallum rule, as well...

The aim of this paper is to investigate how the central bank of Mexico - a prototypical emerging market economy (EME) - adjusted its reaction coefficients according to an estimated Taylor-type rule in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the posterior surge in inflation. To do so, we estimate a...

To study the economic and welfare consequences of alternative time paths towards net zero CO2e emissions, we develop a multi-sector dynamic computable general equilibrium model of an open economy with heterogeneity in abatement costs across sectors and firms and with adjustment costs in the...

The ECB can fulfil its mandate better and contribute to a stronger Europe by adopting sensible rules instead of relying on discretionary decision-making. A simple rule for the policy rate can promote systematic monetary policy and protect against significant policy errors. Ending the reliance on...
