Measuring multiple monetary policy shocks based on heterosce We propose a two-step approach to estimate multiple monetary policy shocks and their causal effects based on daily financial market data and policy events. First, we combine a heteroscedasticity-based

Let us know what you think! You find the working paper here: ideas.repec.org/p/irn/wpaper...

Our approach has several advantages over existing high-frequency identification schemes. In particular, we only need daily financial market data. Additionally, the monetary policy shocks provide stronger instruments when employed in low-frequency macroeconomic models.

We disentangle multiple dimensions of these monetary policy shocks by imposing zero restrictions along the term structure of interest rates. This allows us to estimate the causal effects of these multiple dimensions using a recursive IV estimator.

We estimate quasi-random changes in US monetary policy (monetary policy shocks) by exploiting the cross-sectional response of daily financial market variables after FOMC announcements.

Jointly with Marc Burri I published a full update of our working paper: Measuring multiple monetary policy shocks based on heteroscedasticity (ideas.repec.org/p/irn/wpaper...).
