Regarding inflation as being a monetary phenomenon in the long-run is a widely-held view in modern macro economics. We analyse this topic by means of a P-star model. Based on the quantity theory of money, this approach explains inflation via a supposed equilibrium price level (P-star), which...

In this paper we follow an empirical approach to examine the implications of the Fisher hypothesis, namely cointegration linking interest rates and inflation, and stationarity of the real interest rate implying in turn homogeneity of the potential equilibrium relation. The considered sample is...

A rich literature has established the importance of global funding conditions (‘globalliquidity’) for the international financial system (e.g. Borio, McCauley, and McGuire2011). In particular, Eickmeier, Gambacorta, and Hofmann (2014) made an important contribution by presenting a structural...

We conceptualize global liquidity as global monetary policy and credit componentsby means of a large-scale dynamic factor model. Going beyond previous work, we de-compose aggregate credit components into credit supply and demand flows directed atbusinesses, households and governments. We show...

To infer on functional dependence of regression parameters, a new, factor based bootstrap approach is introduced that is robust under various forms of heteroskedastic error terms. Modeling the functional coefficient parametrically, the bootstrap approximation of an F-statistic is shown to hold...
