This paper examines the emergence of private debt-led growth in Canada since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) by means of a growth regimes and macroeconomic policy regime assessment. Examining each of the four business cycles in the 1983-2020 period, roughly encompassing the entirety of the...

Demand and Growth Regimes (DGR) and Macroeconomic Policy Regimes (MPR) frameworks have taken prominence within the post-Keynesian literature. However, the majority of studies based on these conceptual frameworks have focused on developed economies. The main contribution of this paper is to...

This paper examines the effect of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on firm-level investment and corporate financial leverage. The panel data of 1072 firms traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), New York Stock Exchange Market (NYSE MKT) (formerly known as American Stock Exchange-AMEX), or...

This literature review focuses on the important key drivers, policies and socioeconomic goals to sustain and accelerate the Philippine economy following the COVID-19 outbreak. The decline in COVID-19 cases paved the way for economic recovery, stimulating domestic demand and election-related...

As the climate crisis accelerates and governments aspire to achieve more circular economies, this article encourages experimentation with innovative, interdisciplinary, and sustainable approaches that exploit governments’ enormous spending power. Rather than waiting for legislative or...

This study investigates the political economy of industrialization in Ethiopia. It discusses the economic and political institutions during three political regimes and assesses the industrial sector's performance across these different regimes. Further, it evaluates the different industrial...

This study examines the time-frequency causal link between economic policy uncertainty and inflation in Japan while answering the following questions: (i) is there any causal link between economic policy uncertainty and inflation in Japan? (ii) if yes, in which direction(s)? To the best of our...

This paper provides an assessment of the different channels through which monetary, fiscal and income policies affect prices and output in a small open economy, and discuss which policy measures are effective and feasible in the face of inflationary shocks. We build a stock-flow-consistent model...

This book chapter identifies unique features of American capitalism as they relate to sustainability and contrasts them with what I will call European capitalism. It examines differences in the socio-economic systems of the United States, (Continental) Europe, and (though only marginally) Japan....

Recent research shows that populist governments in general depress countries’ economic growth and fail to improve income distribution. We study the short-term macroeconomic consequences of populist policies implemented in Poland since 2015. Using the augmented synthetic control method, we find...

Should a developing economy, such as India, have a macroeconomic policy framework that is identical to an advanced capitalist country? The answer is a “No”, because the developing economies have external constraints, that the more developed countries do not. They also, often, need to achieve...

For about three decades, the Japanese economy suffered a prolonged phase of economic stagnation but may have started, in late 2019, to emerge from this state with the implementation of Abenomics in late 2012 or early 2013. Abenomics consisted of “three arrows”, namely aggressive monetary...

This paper examines the asymmetric impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and oil price uncertainty (OPU) on inflation by using a Nonlinear ARDL (NARDL) model, which is compared to a benchmark linear ARDL one. Using monthly data from the 1990s until August 2022 for a number of developed and...

This paper examines the dynamics of Keynesian models that incorporate feedback effects from the labor market to income distribution, investment, aggregate demand and output. A baseline version of the model can generate endogenous growth cycles, but cumulative divergence and economic collapse...

Using a panel of tax data, we follow the earnings of individuals over business cycles. Compared to prior recessions, the Covid policy response and recovery were far more progressive. Among workers starting in the bottom quintile, median real earnings including fiscal relief increased 66 percent...

The rapid growth of BRICS has increasingly integrated their markets into the global economy. Thus, making their financial markets more vulnerable to external shocks such as global economic policy uncertainties. In this light, this study examines BRICS stock markets’ response to global economic...

The high inflation, unemployment rate, and production reduction are apparent characteristics of the current state of Iran’s economy. Therefore, studying solutions for the relationship with other countries and broader exposure to international trade is crucial. However, in the situation of...

The war in Ukraine has unexpectedly increased geopolitical conflicts. It has disrupted the integration of the world's economies and cultures and compelled globalisation to go into reverse. This article argues how globalisation may take shape after the ongoing Ukraine Crisis. The war in Ukraine...

This paper investigates the effect of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on gambling activity in China. Based on a theoretical model, we hypothesize that EPU increases the demand for hope which raises the willingness to pay for lottery tickets, resulting in higher lottery sales. We estimate a...

Analysis of the growth patterns in the global South in the 21st century suggests there is room for authoritarian states to search for new growth models. Authoritarian states, such as Turkey and Egypt, benefited from global financial circumstances in the early 21st century and opted for new...

We conduct a survey experiment among 18,000 respondents in Germany to examine the determinants of support for rent control policies. Highlighting undesirable price and supply effects lowers respondents' agreement with rent control, while pointing out that it can prevent displacement of...

This paper mainly investigates the performances of Chinese categorial economic policy uncertainty (EPU) indices and categorial Twitter-based uncertainty for predicting Chinese stock market volatility. Results show both types of uncertainty indices can predict Chinese stock market volatility,...

This study specifically investigates the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on travel and leisure (TL) companies’ debt holdings policy. To the best of our knowledge, there is a momentous gap in exclusively conducting the impact of EPU on the debt holdings policy behavior of Western...

This research explores the impact of Inflation rate and the impact of categorical economic policy uncertainty on Unemployment in United States, during the period between January 1990 and May 2022. Thus, according results showed by ARDL estimation, in long run Fiscal Policy and Trade Policy...

This paper examines whether sell-side analysts struggle to cope with macroeconomic uncertainty. We find that analysts issue more accurate earnings forecasts when facing higher economic policy uncertainty, which conflicts with the conclusions in the US. We provide a novel explanation for this...

In this article, we discuss the future of U.S. climate policy within the context of the Green New Deal (GND). The GND has many features and this article is not meant to provide a comprehensive evaluation of all components of it. Rather, we focus on carbon pricing and whether it, rather than...

The study examines the effect of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on nonlinear risk spillover across 24 Chinese industry sectors over the period 2008-2022. We employ tail-event driven network method to measure nonlinear risk spillover of inter-industry and quantile-on-quantile regression to...

We study the interactions between cryptocurrencies, stock markets, and economic policy uncertainty (EPU) by means of a Factor-Augmented Vector Autoregressive (FAVAR) framework. We rely on two market factors to model the comovements of returns within cryptocurrencies and stock markets. We...

This paper examines the spillover effects of the US economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on the UAE stock market volatility. The empirical analysis is mainly conducted using a novel approach based on combining the Diebold and Yilmaz (2014) connectedness index with the time-varying parameter vector...

The study investigates how economic policy uncertainty (EPU) moderates the impact of excess liquidity on risk-taking behaviours of banks and further examines whether the degree of such a moderating factor becomes stronger in the countries which were heavily affected by the 2008 Global Financial...
