In this study interest centers on regional differences in the response of housing prices to monetary policy shocks in the US. We address this issue by analyzing monthly home price data for metropolitan regions using a factor-augmented vector autoregression (FAVAR) model. Bayesian model...

We analyze the interaction between monetary policy in the US and the global economy, using a global vector autoregressive model with time-varying parameters and stochastic volatility (TVP-SV-GVAR). We find that a contractionary US monetary policy shock leads to a persistent fall in international...

We quantify spillbacks from US monetary policy based on structural scenario analysis and minimum relative entropy methods applied in a Bayesian proxy structural vector-autoregressive model for the time period from 1990 to 2019. We find that spillbacks account for up to half of the overall...

This paper studies the effects of monetary policy shocks using structural vector autoregressions (SVARs). We achieve identification by imposing sign and zero restrictions on the systematic component of monetary policy. We consistently find that an increase in the fed funds rate induces a...

How much have the dynamics of US time series and in the particular the transmission of innovations to monetary policy instruments changed over the last century? The answers to these questions that this paper gives are "A lot." and "Probably less than you think.", respectively. We use vector...

This study analyzes the international transmission of US interest rate hikes using the factor-augmented autoregression model. To achieve this purpose, this study first identifies the shocks that result from the US interest rate policies and analyzes how these shocks impact the outputs and prices...

This paper documents data-oriented, detailed evidence on the international transmission of U.S. monetary policy shocks for the flexible exchange rate period using VAR models. First, U.S. expansionary monetary policy shocks lead to booms in the non-US, G-6 countries. In this transmission, changes...

Since dollarized countries import US monetary policy, identifying US monetary shocks through sign restrictions on US variables only, does not use all available information. In this paper, we therefore include dollarized countries, which enable us to restrict more variables and leave the...

Identifying monetary policy shocks is difficult. Therefore, instead of trying to do this perfectly, this paper exploits a natural setting that reduces the con sequences of shock misidentification. It does so by inferring from the responses of variables in dollarized countries. They import US...
