We develop a VAR that allows the estimation of the impact of monetary policy shocks on volatility. Estimates for the US suggest that an increase in the policy rate by 1% is associated with a rise in unemployment and inflation volatility of about 15%. Using a New Keynesian model, with search and...

This paper examines the relationship between cyclical output and inflation in models commonly used for monetary policy analysis. This includes models that incorporate the New Keynesian, Fuhrer-Moore and backward-looking Phillips curves. The main finding is that these models imply a strong...

We build a model to study the interaction between default risk, policy changes, and financial frictions within a monetary union. The model features a centralised central bank and decentralised fiscal authorities. Countries have different reputations for fiscal stability, modelled as different...

We examine the relative importance of time and state dependence in the price-setting decisions of firms using a monthly panel of German firms over the period 1980-2017. We propose a refined version of time dependence by introducing different hazard functions for price increases and decreases. We...

We use available methods for testing macro models to evaluate a model of China over the period from Deng Xiaoping's reforms up until the crisis period. Bayesian ranking methods are heavily influenced by controversial priors on the degree of price/wage rigidity. When the overall models are tested...

Out-of-sample forecasting tests of DSGE models against time-series benchmarks such as an unrestricted VAR are … on a widely-used DSGE model to investigate the power of these tests. We find that in specification testing they have weak … power relative to an in-sample indirect inference test; this implies that a DSGE model may be badly mis-specified and still …
