What drives office rents?
(Staff Memo;12/2019, Working paper, 2019)Banks have substantial exposures to commercial real estate (CRE). Rental prices are important for CRE companies’ debt-service capacity, which in turn affects the risk of future bank losses. In this paper, we estimate error ... -
The decline of the labor share: new empirical evidence
(Working Paper;18/2019, Working paper, 2019)We estimate a structural vector autoregressive model in order to quantify four main explanations for the decline of the US labor income share: (i) rising market power of firms, (ii) falling market power of workers, (iii) ... -
The Saving and Employment Effects of Higher Job Loss Risk
(Working Paper;17/2019, Working paper, 2019)In this paper we use Norwegian tax data and a novel natural experiment to isolate the impact of job loss risk on saving behavior. We find that a one percentage point increase in job loss risk increases liquid savings by ... -
State dependence of monetary policy across business, credit and interest rate cycles
(Working Paper;21/2019, Working paper, 2019)We investigate how the business, credit and interest rate cycles affect the monetary transmission mechanism, using state-dependent local projection methods and data from 18 advanced economies. We exploit the time-series ... -

Is monetary policy always effective? Incomplete interest rate pass-through in a DSGE model
