How strong is the link between the global financial cycle and national macro-financial dynamics? A wavelet analysis This paper explores the interaction between the global financial cycle (GFCy) and country-specific macro-financial dynamics. We investigate two altern…

Excited to share our publication in the Journal of International Money and Finance 📢🚨: How strong is the link between the global financial cycle and national macro-financial dynamics? A wavelet analysis (with Christian Proaño / @uni-bamberg.de & Till Strohsal / @hwrberlin.bsky.social) #econsky

Germany inscribed austerity in its constitution. The “debt brake” is so rigid that The Economist has called it an instrument of “self harm”. Reform is overdue.

I’m honored to be appointed by the Finance Ministry to serve on the expert commission in charge of fiscal rules.

Exciting start of the 7th Behavioral Macroeconomics Workshop at @uni-bamberg.de with a great keynote lecture by James Bullard (former president of the @stlouisfed.bsky.social, now at Purdue). Touching upon optimal monetary policy with heterogeneous agents and distributional aspects. #econsky

Interesting work👇

dplyr.tidyverse.org, tidyr.tidyverse.org, and ggplot2.tidyverse.org now have an experimental "ask AI" button powered by kapa.ai. It uses the contents of all 3 sites to (hopefully!) better answer your tidyverse questions. This is very much an experiment so please let me know what you think! #rstats

And for everything related to econometric identification in SVAR models, the (preliminary) chapters and replication code of "Structural Vector Autoregressive Analysis" by Kilian and Lütkepohl - a masterpiece.

MONETARY POLICY RULES AND MACROECONOMIC STABILIZATION IN SMALL OPEN ECONOMIES UNDER BEHAVIORAL FX TRADING: INSIGHTS FROM NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS* In this paper the interaction between foreign exchange (FX) markets driven by trading based on behavioral forecasting rules and the macroeconomy of a small open economy is investigated. A special foc...

The earlier work of Proaño (@crproano.bsky.social) embedding bounded rationality (chartist-fundamentalist approach) in a small open economy macro model:

Monetary policy and exchange rate dynamics in a behavioral open economy model We analyze the implications of adding boundedly rational agents á la Gabaix (2020) to the canonical New Keynesian open economy model. We show that acc…

The work of Kolasa, Ravgotra and Zabczyk on a New Keynesian open economy macroeconomic model with bounded rationality (cognitive discounting approach), published recently in the @jintlecon.bsky.social.

Graduate lecture notes (and extra course material) on Bayesian econometrics by Gary Koop.

Olivier Blanchard argues that we should understand better the macroeconomics of the medium run, and I could not agree more. Since I have been working on this for a while, let me show you why this is a promising field for young researchers!
