      The responsiveness of house prices to monetary policy shocks depends both on the nature of the shock – expansionary versus contractionary – and on city-specific housing supply elasticities. We test and find supporting ...

    • Has the Fed Responded to House and Stock Prices? : a Time-Varying Analysis 

      Aastveit, Knut Are; Furlanetto, Francesco; Loria, Francesca (Working Papers;1/2017, Working paper, 2017)
      In this paper we use a structural VAR model with time-varying parameters and stochastic volatility to investigate whether the Federal Reserve has responded systematically to asset prices and whether this response has changed ...

    • House Prices and Household Consumption 

      Grindaker, Morten Haabeth (Staff Memo;11/2017, Working paper, 2018)

      Jacobsen, Dag Henning; Vatne, Bjørn Helge (Working Papers;8/2011, Working paper, 2011)
