We study the effects of crude oil price shocks on the stock market volatility of the G7 economies. We rely on a structural VAR model to identify the causes underlying the oil price shocks and gauge the differential impact that oil supply and oil demand innovations have on financial volatility....

This paper provides evidence that oil price fluctuations have been an important driver of petroleum investment in Norway. To show this, I utilize a Bayesian vector autoregressive (BVAR) model combined with local projections, using various investment data from national accounts and firms' survey...

We analyze the evolution and drivers of inflation during the pandemic and the likely trajectory of inflation in the near-term using an event study of inflation around global recessions and a factor-augmented vector auto-regression (FAVAR) model. We report three main results. First, the decline...

We use volatility impulse response analysis estimated from the bivariate GARCH-BEKK model to quantify the size and the persistence of different types of oil price shocks on stock return volatility and the covariance between oil price changes and stock returns for a wide range of net...

Excessive heat and cold weather waves may affect economic activity through energy markets. Yet, if a clear distinction of those events from other sources of variation in the economy would help central banks in stabilizing inflation is a research question that lacks theoretical and empirical...
