The German far right and the scars of reunificationOliver HoltemöllerFinancial Times, September 6, 2024
We provide a comprehensive analysis of the transmission of macroprudential policies aimed at limiting bank risk-taking in residential real estate.
This paper investigates, whether conventional interest rate policy of central banks is a suitable instrument to attenuate excessive mispricing in stocks as suggested by the proponents of a 'leaning against the wind' (LATW) monetary policy.
The Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) - Member of the Leibniz Association and the International Network for Economic Research (INFER) were organising a workshop on unconventional monetary policy, international monetary policy spillovers, financial stability and monetary policy.
The workshop provides a platform to discuss new developments in the field of empirical and applied macroeconomic modelling and aims at bringing together academic researchers and practitioners. We invite applied and theoretical papers dealing with time series and broad macroeconomic topics. Papers that explicitly cover the macroeconomic modelling, forecasting and monetary policy reactions on inflation are particularly welcome.
The Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) and the International Network for Economic Research (INFER) were organising a workshop on risk spillover, current challenges for sustainable fiscal policy, and evaluations of pan-European transfers.
We study the implications of multi-period mortgage loans for monetary policy, considering several realistic modifications – fixed interest rate contracts, lower bound constraint on newly granted loans, and possibility for the collateral constraint to become slack – to an otherwise standard DSGE model with housing and financial intermediaries.
Existing empirical studies on the effect of monetary policy on bank lending almost exclusively focus on a closed economy setting and ignore the interactions between domestic monetary policy and international financial markets.
