Modelling Inflation in the Euro Area

Modelling Occasionally Binding Constraints Using Regime-Switching
(Working Papers;23/2017, Working paper, 2017)Occasionally binding constraints are part of the economic landscape: for instance recent experience with the global financial crisis has highlighted the gravity of the lower bound constraint on interest rates; mortgagors ... -
Monetary and Macroprudential Policy with Multi-Period Loans
(Working Papers;16/2014, Working paper, 2014)We study the implications of multi-period loans for monetary and macroprudential policy, considering several realistic modifications - variable vs. fixed loan rates, non-negativity constraint on newly granted loans, and ... -
Monetary Policy and Asset Prices: To Respond or Not?
(Working Papers;9/2005, Working paper, 2005)We investigate whether there is a case for asset prices in interest rates rules within a small econometric model of the Norwegian economy, modeling the interdependence of the real economy, credit and three classes of ... -
Monetary Policy and Exchange Rate Interactions in a Small Open Economy

Monetary Policy and Exchange Rate Overshooting: Dornbusch Was Right After All
(Working Papers;9/2009, Working paper, 2009)Dornbusch’s exchange rate overshooting hypothesis is a central building block in international macroeconomics. Yet, empirical studies of monetary policy have typically found exchange rate effects that are inconsistent with ... -
Monetary Policy and Financial Stability in the Long Run
(Working Papers;21/2013, Working paper, 2013)Most theoretical central bank models use short horizons and focus on a single tradeoff. However, in reality, central banks play complex, long-horizon games and face more than one tradeoff. We account for these issues in a ... -
Monetary Policy and the Illusionary Exchange Rate Puzzle
(Working Papers;11/2005, Working paper, 2005)Dornbusch’s exchange rate overshooting hypothesis is a central building block in international macroeconomics. Yet, empirical studies of monetary policy have typically found exchange rate effects that are inconsistent with ... -
Monetary Policy Decisions – Comparing Theory and "Inside" Information from MPC Members
(Working Papers;3/2013, Working paper, 2013)We analyze the influence of the Taylor rule on US monetary policy by estimating the policy preferences of the Fed within a DSGE framework. The policy preferences are represented by a standard loss function, extended with ... -
Monetary Policy in Real Time

Monetary Policy Predictability in the Euro Area: An International Comparison
(Working Papers;7/2005, Working paper, 2005)The paper evaluates the ability of market participants to anticipate monetary policy decisions in the euro area and in 13 other countries. First, by looking at the magnitude and the volatility of the changes in the money ... -
Monetary Policy Rules for an Open Economy
(Working Papers;4/2001, Working paper, 2001)The most popular simple rules for the interest rate, due to Taylor (1993a) and Henderson and McKibbin (1993), are both meant to inform monetary policy in economies that are closed. On the other hand, their main open economy ... -
Monetary policy spillover to small open economies: Is the transmission different under low interest rates?
(Working Paper;12/2021, Working paper, 2021)We explore the impact of low and negative monetary policy rates in core world economies on bank lending in four small open economies – Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic and Norway – using confidential bank-level data. Our ... -
Monetary Policy Under the Gold Standard - Examining the Case of Norway, 1893-1914

Monetary Policy Under Uncertainty: Min-Max vs Robust-Satisficing Strategies
(Working Papers;6/2007, Working paper, 2007)We study monetary policy under uncertainty. A policy which ameliorates a worst case may differ from a policy which maximizes robustness and satisfices the performance. The former strategy is min-maxing and the latter ... -
Monetary policy when export revenues drop
(Working paper;11/2022, Working paper, 2022)We study how monetary policy should respond to shocks which permanently alter the steady state structure of the economy. In such a case monetary policy affects not only the short run misallocations due to nominal rigidities, ... -
Monetary Regime and the Co-Ordination of Wage Setting
(Working Papers;1/2000, Working paper, 2000)International comparisons show that countries with co-ordinated wage setting generally have lower unemployment than countries with less co-ordinated wage setting. This paper argues that the monetary regime may affect whether ... -
Money in the Equilibrium of Banking
(Working Papers;22/2015, Working paper, 2015)In most banking models, money is merely modeled as a medium of transactions, but in reality, money is also the most liquid asset for banks. Central banks do not only passively supply money to meet demand for transactions, ... -
Monitoring multicountry macroeconomic risk
(Working paper;9/2023, Working paper, 2023)We propose a multicountry quantile factor augmeneted vector autoregression (QFAVAR) to model heterogeneities both across countries and across characteristics of the distributions of macroeconomic time series. The presence ... -
