Over the last two decades, communication has become an increasingly important aspect of monetary policy. These real-world developments have spawned a huge new scholarly literature on central bank communication -- mostly empirical, and almost all of it written in this decade. We survey this ever-growing literature. The evidence suggests that communication can be an important and powerful part of the central bank's toolkit since it has the ability to move financial markets, to enhance the predictability of monetary policy decisions, and potentially to help achieve central banks' macroeconomic objectives. However, the large variation in communication strategies across central banks suggests that a consensus has yet to emerge on what constitutes an optimal communication strategy.
在过去的二十年里,沟通已经成为货币政策中越来越重要的一个方面。这些现实世界的发展催生了大量关于央行沟通的新学术文献——大多是经验主义的,而且几乎都是在这十年里写的。我们调查了这一不断增长的文献。有证据表明,沟通可以成为央行工具中重要而有力的一部分,因为它有能力影响金融市场,提高货币政策决策的可预测性,并有可能帮助实现央行的宏观经济目标。然而,各国央行之间沟通策略的巨大差异表明,尚未就什么是最佳沟通策略达成共识。

House Prices, Money, Credit and the Macroeconomy 房价、货币、信贷和宏观经济
Pub Date : 2008-04-01 DOI: 10.1093/OXREP/GRN009
C. Goodhart, Boris Hofmann
This paper assesses the links between money, credit, house prices, and economic activity in industrialized countries over the last three decades. The analysis is based on a fixed-effects panel vector autoregression, estimated using quarterly data for 17 industrialized countries spanning the period 1970-2006. The main results of the analysis are the following. (i) There is evidence of a significant multidirectional link between house prices, monetary variables, and the macroeconomy. (ii) The link between house prices and monetary variables is found to be stronger over a more recent sub-sample from 1985 to 2006. (iii) The effects of shocks to money and credit are found to be stronger when house prices are booming.
本文评估了过去三十年来工业化国家的货币、信贷、房价和经济活动之间的联系。该分析基于固定效应面板向量自回归,使用1970-2006年期间17个工业化国家的季度数据进行估计。分析的主要结果如下:(i)有证据表明,房价、货币变量和宏观经济之间存在重要的多向联系。(ii)房价与货币变量之间的联系在1985年至2006年的子样本中被发现更强。(三)发现当房价高涨时,货币和信贷冲击的影响更大。

PPI and Measuring Inflation in Business Transactions in Egypt PPI和埃及商业交易中的通货膨胀测量
Pub Date : 2008-03-26 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1106416
A. Nawar
This paper discusses and analyzes selected pertinent statistical and economic questions raised by the shift in price statistics towards covering broader markets of the economy, namely introducing a Producers Price Index (PPI) series in place of the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) series in Egypt since the beginning of 2008. The paper discusses the price index gap in Egypt and the methodology employed in constructing the newly-introduced PPI. The paper proposes tackling several characterized problems concerning the construction of the elementary indices and quality of PPI statistics in light of e-commerce and globalization, existing limited coverage of service sectors, and improper indices for cost escalation and contracting. The paper also proposes devising a core inflation measure for inflation targeting in Egypt.
本文讨论和分析了价格统计转向覆盖更广泛的经济市场所带来的相关统计和经济问题,即自2008年初以来在埃及引入生产者价格指数(PPI)系列来取代批发价格指数(WPI)系列。本文讨论了埃及的价格指数差距以及构建新引入的生产者价格指数所采用的方法。本文提出了在电子商务和全球化背景下,PPI基本指标构建和统计质量、服务业覆盖范围有限、成本上升和承包指标不合理等几个有特色的问题。本文还建议为埃及的通货膨胀目标制设计一个核心通货膨胀指标。

Using Financial Markets Information to Identify Oil Supply Shocks in a Restricted VAR 利用金融市场信息识别受限VAR下的石油供应冲击
Pub Date : 2008-03-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1107980
Marko Melolinna
This paper introduces a methodology for identifying oil supply shocks in a restricted VAR system for a small open economy. Financial market information is used to construct an identification scheme that forces the response of the restricted VAR model to an oil shock to be the same as that implied by futures markets. Impulse responses are then calculated by using a bootstrapping procedure for partial identification. The methodology is applied to Finland and Sweden in illustrative examples in a simple 5-variable model. While oil supply shocks have an inflationary effect on domestic inflation in these countries during the past decade or so, the effect on domestic GDP is more ambiguous.
本文介绍了一种在小型开放经济体的受限VAR系统中识别石油供应冲击的方法。利用金融市场信息构建了一个识别方案,该方案强制约束VAR模型对石油冲击的响应与期货市场暗示的响应相同。然后通过使用自举程序进行部分辨识来计算脉冲响应。该方法在一个简单的5变量模型中以说明性示例应用于芬兰和瑞典。虽然在过去十年左右的时间里,石油供应冲击对这些国家的国内通胀产生了通胀效应,但对国内GDP的影响却更为模糊。

Technical Change and U.S. Economic Growth: The Interwar Period and the 1990s 技术变革与美国经济增长:两次世界大战之间的时期和20世纪90年代
Pub Date : 2008-03-13 DOI: 10.1017/CBO9780511616464.006
A. Field
Multifactor productivity growth in the U.S. economy between 1919 and 1929 was almost entirely attributable to advance within manufacturing. Distributing steam power mechanically over shafts and belts required multistory buildings for economical operation. The widespread diffusion of electric power permitted a shift to single story layouts in which goods flow could be optimized around work stations powered by small electric motors. Within this framework, as well as opportunities to produce a variety of new products, economies of scale and learning by doing permitted rapid and across the board gains in manufacturing productivity. The sector contributed 83 percent of the 2.02 percent per year overall advance in the private nonfarm economy in this ten year period. The Depression years witnessed manufacturing MFP growth that was not as uniformly distributed as it had been during the twenties, and only half as rapid: 2.60 as opposed to 5.12 percent per year. As a consequence, and in spite of a rise in the sector's share, manufacturing accounted for only 48 percent of PNE MFP growth between 1929 and 1941. Yet overall growth in MFP was by far the highest of any comparable period in the twentieth century - 2.31 percent per year. This resulted from combining a manufacturing contribution which by any standard of comparison other than that of the 1920s was world class, with spillovers from government financed infrastructural investment that enabled rapid advance in other parts of the economy, particularly transport and public utilities and wholesale and retail distribution. MFP growth between 1989 and 2000 was more than twice what it had been during the years 1973-89, but less than a third that registered between 1929 and 1941. Within manufacturing, advance was narrowly concentrated within the old SIC 35 and 36, virtually all of this attributable to information technology (IT). IT was also responsible for some MFP growth in using industries, notably wholesale and retail distribution and securities trading. This paper questions the common practice of also crediting IT with the portion of capital deepening's effect on labor productivity associated with the accumulation of specific IT capital goods.
1919年至1929年间,美国经济中多因素生产率的增长几乎完全归功于制造业的进步。为了经济运行,机械地将蒸汽动力分配到轴和皮带上需要多层建筑。电力的广泛传播允许单层布局的转变,在这种布局中,货物流动可以围绕由小型电动机驱动的工作站进行优化。在这个框架内,以及生产各种新产品的机会,规模经济和在实践中学习允许制造业生产力的快速和全面的增长。在这十年期间,私营非农业经济每年2.02%的总体增长中,农业部门贡献了83%。大萧条时期,制造业的MFP增长不像20年代那样分布均匀,速度也只有20年代的一半:每年2.60%,而不是5.12%。因此,尽管该部门的份额有所上升,但在1929年至1941年期间,制造业仅占PNE MFP增长的48%。然而,到目前为止,MFP的总体增长率是20世纪可比时期中最高的——每年2.31%。这是由于制造业的贡献(以除20世纪20年代以外的任何标准进行比较都是世界级的)与政府资助的基础设施投资的溢出效应相结合,这些投资使经济的其他部分,特别是运输和公用事业以及批发和零售分销迅速发展。1989年至2000年间的MFP增长是1973年至1989年间的两倍多,但不到1929年至1941年间的三分之一。在制造业中,进步仅仅集中在旧的SIC 35和36,几乎所有这些都归功于信息技术(IT)。IT也对使用行业的一些MFP增长负有责任,特别是批发和零售分销以及证券交易。本文质疑将IT与资本深化对与特定IT资本货物积累相关的劳动生产率的影响部分相关联的普遍做法。

Stress Test and Consistent Aggregation of Market, Credit and Transfer Risk by Geometric Arbitrage Theory 基于几何套利理论的压力测试与市场、信用和转移风险的一致聚集
Pub Date : 2008-03-07 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1103882
Simone Farinelli
As an application of Geometric Arbitrage Theory, we apply the derived generator of consistent economic scenarios developed in (Farinelli 2008) to a set consisting of macroeconomic leading indicators, financial market , default probabilities and loss given default time series. The resulting scenarios display consistently possible future evolutions of market and credit risk drivers with equal probability. In particular, PDs and LGDs behavior reflect the credit cycle. Macro-economical stress tests follow, by selecting the paths for which macro-economical variables satisfy required (linear) inequalities whose bounds are given a priori. The portfolio model has following prominent features: - risk factors are observable macroeconomic variables, - multiperiodicity, - full integration of market and credit risk with the possibilities of splitting the different contributions by different risk drivers, - quadratic approximation of the P&L by utilizing first and second sensitivities to the risk factors, - stress test of PDs, LGDs and P&L distributions are embedded.
作为几何套利理论的应用,我们将(Farinelli 2008)中开发的一致经济情景的衍生生成器应用于由宏观经济领先指标、金融市场、违约概率和给定违约时间序列的损失组成的集合。由此产生的情景以相同的概率一致地显示了市场和信用风险驱动因素未来可能的演变。特别是,发展中企业和地方政府融资机构的行为反映了信贷周期。随后进行宏观经济压力测试,选择宏观经济变量满足所需(线性)不等式的路径,这些不等式的边界是先验给定的。投资组合模型具有以下突出特点:风险因素是可观察的宏观经济变量;多周期性;充分整合市场和信用风险,并可能将不同风险驱动因素的不同贡献分开;利用对风险因素的第一和第二敏感性对P&L进行二次逼近;嵌入对pd、LGDs和P&L分布的压力测试。

Macroeconomic Conditions and Capital Structure Adjustment Speed 宏观经济条件与资本结构调整速度
Pub Date : 2008-03-03 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1101664
Douglas O. Cook, Tian Tang
Using two dynamic partial adjustment capital structure models to estimate the impact of several macroeconomic factors on the speed of capital structure adjustment toward target leverage, we find evidence that firms adjust their leverage toward target faster in good macroeconomic states relative to bad states. This evidence holds whether or not firms are subject to financial constraints. Our results are robust to an alternative method of calculating states and to omitting zero-debt boundary firms and are not driven by firm size, deviation from target, or leverage definitions.
利用两个动态部分调整资本结构模型来估计几个宏观经济因素对资本结构向目标杠杆调整速度的影响,我们发现证据表明,在宏观经济良好的状态下,企业向目标杠杆调整的速度相对于糟糕的状态。无论企业是否受到财务约束,这一证据都成立。我们的结果对于计算状态的替代方法和忽略零债务边界公司是稳健的,并且不受公司规模、偏离目标或杠杆定义的驱动。

The Optimal Demand for Retail Derivatives 零售衍生品的最优需求
Pub Date : 2008-03-03 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1101399
Nicole Branger, Beate Breuer
It has been shown that investors can benefit from including derivatives into their portfolios. For retail investors, however, a direct investment in derivatives is often too complicated. Investment certificates offer a potential solution to this problem. We analyze if retail investors who buy and hold their portfolio for one year can indeed benefit from an investment in these certificates. We use a model with stochastic volatility and jumps calibrated to the German stock market index DAX. We find that the benefit of investing in typical retail products is equivalent to an annualized risk-free excess return of at most 35 basis points for a CRRA investor with a low risk aversion. If we take transaction costs into account, this number reduces to at most 14~bp. In terms of the types of contracts, we find that discount certificates perform best, while more sophisticated certificates, in particular those with knock-in or knock-out features, should often not be held by investors at all. Therefore, standard preferences cannot explain the large observed demand for investment certificates.
事实证明,投资者可以从将衍生品纳入其投资组合中获益。然而,对于散户投资者来说,直接投资衍生品往往过于复杂。投资证书为这个问题提供了一个潜在的解决方案。我们分析购买并持有其投资组合一年的散户投资者是否确实可以从这些证书的投资中受益。我们使用一个随机波动和跳跃的模型校准到德国股票市场指数DAX。我们发现,对于低风险厌恶的CRRA投资者来说,投资典型零售产品的收益相当于最多35个基点的年化无风险超额回报。如果我们把交易成本考虑在内,这个数字最多减少到14~bp。就合约类型而言,我们发现折扣证书表现最好,而更复杂的证书,特别是那些具有淘汰或淘汰特征的证书,往往不应由投资者持有。因此,标准偏好不能解释对投资凭证的巨大需求。

The Wealth Effect of Demutualization: Evidence from the U.S. Property-Liability and Life Insurance Industries 非股份化的财富效应:来自美国财产、责任和人寿保险行业的证据

This study examines the wealth effect of demutualization initial public offerings (IPOs) by investigating underpricing and postconversion long-run stock performance. Our results suggest that there is more "money left on the table" for demutualized insurers than for non-demutualized insurers. We show that higher underpricing for demutualized firms can be explained by greater market demand, market sentiment, and the size of the offering. Further, contrary to previous research reporting an average underperformance of industrial IPOs, we show that demutualization IPOs outperform non-IPO firms with comparable size and book-to-market ratios and non-demutualized insurers. We present evidence that the outperformance in stock returns is mainly attributable to improvement in post-demutualization operating performance and demand at the time of the IPOs. The combined results of underpricing and long-term performance suggest that the wealth of policyholders who choose stock rather than cash or policy credits is not harmed by demutualization. Stockholders who purchase demutualized company shares either during or after the IPO have earned superior returns. Our findings are consistent with the efficiency improvement hypothesis.

本研究通过调查定价过低和转换后的长期股票表现来检验非股份化首次公开发行(ipo)的财富效应。我们的研究结果表明,非股份化保险公司比非股份化保险公司有更多的“钱留在桌子上”。我们表明,非股份化公司较高的低定价可以用更大的市场需求、市场情绪和发行规模来解释。此外,与之前报告工业ipo平均表现不佳的研究相反,我们表明,股份化ipo的表现优于具有可比规模和账面市值比的非ipo公司和非股份化保险公司。我们提供的证据表明,股票收益的优异表现主要归因于股份化后经营业绩的改善和ipo时需求的改善。定价过低和长期表现的综合结果表明,选择股票而不是现金或保单信贷的保单持有人的财富不会受到股份化的损害。在首次公开募股期间或之后购买非股份化公司股票的股东获得了丰厚的回报。我们的发现与效率提高假说一致。版权所有的风险与保险杂志,2008。

Our results suggest that there is more \"money left on the table\" for demutualized insurers than for non-demutualized insurers. We show that higher underpricing for demutualized firms can be explained by greater market demand, market sentiment, and the size of the offering. Further, contrary to previous research reporting an average underperformance of industrial IPOs, we show that demutualization IPOs outperform non-IPO firms with comparable size and book-to-market ratios and non-demutualized insurers. We present evidence that the outperformance in stock returns is mainly attributable to improvement in post-demutualization operating performance and demand at the time of the IPOs. The combined results of underpricing and long-term performance suggest that the wealth of policyholders who choose stock rather than cash or policy credits is not harmed by demutualization. Stockholders who purchase demutualized company shares either during or after the IPO have earned superior returns. Our findings are consistent with the efficiency improvement hypothesis.

Policy Uncertainty and Precautionary Savings 政策不确定性和预防性储蓄
Pub Date : 2008-03-01 DOI: 10.3386/W13911
F. Giavazzi, Michael McMahon
In 1997 Chancellor Kohl proposed a major pension reform and pushed the law through Parliament explaining that the German PAYG system had become unsustainable. One limitation of the new law -- one that is crucial for our identification strategy -- is that it left the generous pension entitlements of civil servants intact. The year after, in 1998, Kohl lost the elections and was replaced by Gerhard Shroeder. One of the first decisions of the new Chancellor was to revoke the 1997 pension reform. We use the quasi-experiment of the adoption and subsequent revocation of the pension reform to study how households reacted to the increase in uncertainty about the future path of income that such an event produced. Our estimates are obtained from a diff-in-diff estimator: this helps us overcome the identification problem that often affects measures of precautionary saving. Departing from the majority of studies on precautionary saving we also analyze households' response in terms of labor market choices: we find evidence of a labor supply response by those workers who can use the margin offered by part-time employment
1997年,总理科尔提出了一项重大的养老金改革,并推动议会通过了这项法律,解释说德国的现收现付制度已经变得不可持续。新法律的一个限制——对我们的识别策略至关重要的一个限制——是,它没有改变公务员丰厚的养老金待遇。一年后的1998年,科尔在选举中失利,被格哈德•施罗德(Gerhard Shroeder)取代。新财政大臣的首批决定之一是撤销1997年的养老金改革。我们使用采用和随后撤销养老金改革的准实验来研究家庭如何应对此类事件产生的未来收入路径不确定性的增加。我们的估计是由一个差中差估计器获得的:这有助于我们克服经常影响预防性储蓄措施的识别问题。与大多数关于预防性储蓄的研究不同,我们还从劳动力市场选择的角度分析了家庭的反应:我们发现了那些可以利用兼职工作提供的利润的工人的劳动力供应反应的证据
