    • Household Leverage and Labor Market Outcomes : Evidence from a Macroprudential Mortgage Restriction 

      Kabaş, Gazi; Roszbach, Kasper (Working paper;14/2021, Working paper, 2021)
      Does household leverage matter for worker job search, matching in the labor market, and wages? Theoretically, household leverage can have opposing effects on the labor market through debt-overhang and liquidity constraint ...

      Bhuller, Manudeep; Kostøl, Andreas R.; Vigtel, Trond C. (Working Paper;1/2020, Working paper, 2020)
      How the internet affects job matching is not well understood due to a lack of data on job vacancies and quasi-experimental variation in internet use. This paper helps fill this gap using plausibly exogenous roll-out of ...

    • How New Keynesian Is the US Phillips Curve? 

      Alstadheim, Ragna (Working Papers;25/2013, Working paper, 2013)
      I provide a generalization of Calvo price setting, to include non-overlapping contracts as a special case and embed this in a small DSGE model. The resulting Generalized Phillips Curve (GPC) nests New-Keynesian and ...

    • Identification and Real-Time Forecasting of Norwegian Business Cycles 

      Aastveit, Knut Are; Jore, Anne Sofie; Ravazzolo, Francesco (Working Papers;9/2015, Working paper, 2015)
      We de fine and forecast classical business cycle turning points for the Norwegian economy. When defining reference business cycles, we compare a univariate and a multivariate Bry-Boschan approach with univariate Markov-switching ...
    • Identification of Financial Factors in Economic Fluctuations 

      Furlanetto, Francesco; Ravazzolo, Francesco; Sarferaz, Samad (Working Papers;9/2014, Working paper, 2014)
      We estimate demand, supply, monetary, investment and financial shocks in a VAR identified with a minimum set of sign restrictions on US data. We find that financial shocks are major drivers of fluctuations in output, stock ...
    • Identification of Interbank Loans and Interest Rates from Interbank Payments - a Reliability Assessment 

      Akram, Q. Farooq; Fevolden, Mats Bay; Smith, Lyndsie (Working Paper;8/2018, Working paper, 2018)
      We investigate the reliability of the 'Furfine filter' often used to identify interbank loans and interest rates from interbank payments settled at central banks. To this end, we have been granted access to records of all ...
    • Identifying Cross-Sided Liquidity Externalities 

      Skjeltorp, Johannes A.; Sojli, Elvira; Tham, Wing Wah (Working Papers;20/2012, Working paper, 2012)
      We study the relevance of the cross-sided externality of liquidity between market makers and takers from the two-sided market perspective and test the empirical implications of the Foucault, Kadan, and Kandel (2012) model. ...
    • Identifying the depreciation rate of durables from marginal spending responses 

      Cao, Jin; Cui, Chao; Dinger, Valeriya; Holm, Martin B.; Kang, Shulong (Working paper;1/2022, Working paper, 2022)
      This paper presents a novel method to estimate the depreciation rate of durable goods using a combination of identified marginal and average spending shares. We apply our method to Chinese spending responses to disposable ...
    • Identifying the Interdependence Between Us Monetary Policy and the Stock Market 

      Bjørnland, Hilde C.; Leitemo, Kai (Working Papers;4/2008, Working paper, 2008)
      We estimate the interdependence between US monetary policy and the S&P 500 using structural VAR methodology. A solution is proposed to the simultaneity problem of identifying monetary and stock price shocks by using a ...
    • Identifying the sources of the slowdown in growth: Demand vs. supply 

      Maffei-Faccioli, Nicolò (Working Paper;9/2021, Working paper, 2021)
      Long-run GDP growth has declined in the United States over the past two decades. Two competing views take the stage in accounting for this slowdown: demand-side and supply-side. I empirically quantify their relative ...

      Forni, Mario; Gambetti, Luca; Maffei-Faccioli, Nicolò; Sala, Luca (Working paper;3/2023, Working paper, 2023)
      Financial shocks represent a major driver of fluctuations in tail risk, defined as the 5th percentile of the forecast distributions of output and inflation. Since the variance and the asymmetry of the forecast distributions ...

      Binning, Andrew; Maih, Junior (Working Papers;3/2016, Working paper, 2016)
