The Role of Labour Market Institutions in Shaping Euro Area Monetary Policy Transmission
ABSTRACT We examine how labour market institutions shape monetary policy transmission in euro area countries. A theoretical model suggests that higher union density flattens the Phillips curve, amplifying output responses while dampening the inflation effects of monetary shocks. This is empirically confirmed using an interacted panel VAR.

Does evidence challenge the DSGE model? [PDF]
DSGE are for a time the favorite models in the simulation of monetary policies at the central banks. Two of its basic assumptions are discussed in this paper: (a) the absence of endogenous nonlinearities and the exogenous nature of shocks and (b) the persistence of or the return to equilibrium after a shock, or the absence of dynamics.

A Multi‐Country Approach to Estimate the Euro‐Area Natural Real Interest Rate
ABSTRACT We set up a semi‐structural unobserved components multi‐country model of the eurozone. The common euro‐area natural rate of interest (NRI) is identified from the joint dynamics of the national data of its 20 member countries and estimated using Bayesian methods.

What Are The Drivers of Labor Productivity in Italy?
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel sign restriction identification within a structural Bayesian vector autoregression (VAR) to analyse how labour productivity responds to supply and demand shocks and to quantify the contribution of shocks to cyclical fluctuations.

Is There an Information Channel of Monetary Policy?
ABSTRACT Exploiting the heteroskedasticity of the changes in short‐term and long‐term interest rates and exchange rates around the FOMC announcement, we identify three structural monetary policy shocks. We eliminate the predictable part of the shocks and study their effects on financial variables and macro variables.

South Africa's Inflation: Monetary or Fiscal
ABSTRACT Conventional macroeconomics has viewed inflation as a monetary phenomenon through the quantity theory of money. Ever‐increasing sovereign debt globally has caused concern amongst economists. These concerns follow not from the ability of governments to repay their debt, but rather the impact of sizeable debt portfolios on price levels.
