Output Gap Uncertainty, Sovereign Risk Premia and the Contingent Importance of the Bond Vigilantes

open access: yesMetroeconomica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the implications of output gap uncertainty for the conduct of fiscal policy using a small‐scale macroeconomic model with boundedly rational agents. Specifically, agents use an adaptive updating mechanism to approximate the unobservable potential output that suffers, similarly to the Hodrick and Prescott (1997) filter ...

External Shocks, Trade Margins, and Macroeconomic Dynamics

open access: yesEconomies, 2020
This paper studies the role of the exchange rate regime for trade of new products. It first provides VAR evidence that a rise in external productivity shifts trade away from new products and more so in fixed regimes.

Confronting Model Misspecification in Macroeconomics [PDF]

open access: yes
We estimate a Markov-switching mixture of two familiar macroeconomic models: a richly parameterized DSGE model and a corresponding BVAR model. We show that the Markov-switching mixture model dominates both individual models and improves the fit ...

The Role of Labour Market Institutions in Shaping Euro Area Monetary Policy Transmission

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
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.

What Are The Drivers of Labor Productivity in Italy?

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
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?

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
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.

A Proposal for a Flexible Trend Specification in DSGE Models

open access: yesReview of Economic Perspectives, 2016
In this paper I propose a flexible trend specification for estimating DSGE models on log differences. I demonstrate this flexible trend specification on a New Keynesian DSGE model of two economies, which I consequently estimate on data from the Czech ...
