Should central banks use leaning against the wind (LAW)-type monetary or macroprudential policy to address risks to financial stability? We first assess LAW as a one-off (nonsystematic) policy using an estimated large-scale dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model with empirically...

We provide a theory of persistent financial cycles based on partly backward looking house price beliefs, endogenous crises and conditions under which leaning against the wind (LAW)-type monetary policy is advisable to address risks to financial stability. Under empirically plausible financial...

Should monetary policy lean against financial stability risks? This has been a subject of fierce debate over the last decades. We contribute to the debate about "leaning against the wind" (LAW) along three lines. First, we evaluate the cost and benefits of LAW using the Svensson (2017) framework...

This study seeks to assess the resilience of the banking union framework created in recent year and, in particular, the potential costs that would be induced by different banking shocks, under various scenarios regarding the implementation of the Banking Union's resolution pillar. Based on a...

We develop a macroprudential contagion stress test framework to examine how a network of Norwegian banks can amplify a shock to bank capital at the macro level. The framework looks at how fire sales of common asset holdings can lead to valuation losses for banks (indirect contagion), and how...

We first empirically document that excessive credit growth and asset price overvaluations raise the likelihood of financial crises and deepen the severity of associated economic downturns in advanced economies using linear probability models and local projections. We then rationalise these...
