This paper empirically investigates the evolution and the sources of interest rate pass-through heterogeneity in the Eurozone for a sample of 11 euro area countries over the period 2003M1-2011M12. Considering two harmonized bank retail rates, we first estimate single equation error correction...

The trade-off between bank competition and financial stability has always been a widely and controversial issue, both among policymakers and academics. This paper empirically re-investigates the relationship between competition and bank risk across a sample of 54 European listed banks over the...

This study empirically analyses the links between banking competition and manufacturing productivity growth for a sample of 10 European countries during the period 1999-2009. To test this relationship, which from a theoretical point of view is unclear, we use a difference-in-difference...

This paper empirically investigates the evolution and the sources of interest rate pass-through heterogeneity in the Eurozone for a sample of 11 euro area countries over the period 2003M1-2011M12. Considering two harmonized bank retail rates, we first estimate single equation error correction...

This paper examines the implications of banking competition for the interest rate channel in the Eurozone over the period 2003-2010. We use an Error Correction Model (ECM) approach to measure the long-run and short-run relationships between money market rates, bank interest rates, and our...

This paper examines the distributional implications of monetary policy from a long-run perspective, with data spanning 100 years of modern economic history in 12 advanced economies. We employ a two-step approach, by estimating a Panel VAR and a single-equation model with local projections, to...

This article examines the impact of monetary policy (MP) on firms’ stock prices across CO2 emission levels. We provide a theoretical model in which green firms are less sensitive to MP shocks than brown firms, because they are less exposed to transition risk and provide nonpecuniary utility to...
