En este trabajo se desarrolla un nuevo indicador mensual de cuellos de botella en las cadenas de suministro utilizando artículos de prensa. El índice de cuellos de botella de oferta (SBI, por sus siglas en inglés) proporciona una narración coherente de los problemas de suministro...

This paper uses a Bayesian Structural Vector Autoregressive (BSVAR) framework to estimate the pass-through of unexpected gas price supply shocks on HICP inflation in the euro area and its four largest economies. In comparison to oil price shocks, gas price shocks have approximately one-third...
