Abstract
We model structural time-varying macro-financial linkages between the U.S. and euro area using a large dataset for each region. We extract both real and financial cycles and identify shocks, using a factor model with drifting parameters. To interpret the mechanisms that drive the empirical results, we contextualize our estimates using a two-country financial accelerator model. Our evidence speaks clearly of an asymmetric cross-border transmission between U.S. and euro area, especially in the financial domain. This is confirmed by our theoretical complement, which shows a strong transmission of U.S. TFP shocks. Moreover, the U.S. is a more leveraged economy, which accentuates the financial accelerator effect.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1982, Journal of International Money and Finance has built up a solid reputation as a high quality scholarly journal devoted to theoretical and empirical research in the fields of international monetary economics, international finance, and the rapidly developing overlap area between the two. Researchers in these areas, and financial market professionals too, pay attention to the articles that the journal publishes. Authors published in the journal are in the forefront of scholarly research on exchange rate behaviour, foreign exchange options, international capital markets, international monetary and fiscal policy, international transmission and related questions.
