It is a well-established fact in monetary economics that money and credit developments may affect consumer price inflation directly as well as indirectly via changes in asset prices, while at the same time asset price fluctuations can independently affect monetary and real developments. This has led to proposals to assign a more prominent role to asset prices in central bank’s toolkit of leading indicators for future developments in consumer price inflation. In this study, we examine, in the context of reduced-form inflation equations, the importance of different variables (including standard explanatory variables) as well as some specific asset price variables (i.e., the changes in housing and equity prices, a yield spread and oil prices). Against this background, we make use of a panel approach, covering data for 17 industrialised countries and the euro area. Three main results emerge out of our analysis. First, a standard framework explaining current inflation by (lagged) developments in inflation, the output gap, short-term interest rates, oil prices, house and stock prices and the exchange rate seems to perform quite well, although the explanatory power of the equations decreases with the length of the time horizon. Second, as regards the role of asset prices, it can be shown that house price movements seem to provide more useful information on future consumer price developments than movements in equity prices. Finally, the results of the analysis show that broad monetary developments become more relevant as the time horizon lengthens. By contrast, equity prices and the yield spread seem to be somewhat less informative.
货币经济学中一个公认的事实是,货币和信贷的发展可能通过资产价格的变化直接或间接地影响消费者价格通胀,而同时资产价格的波动可以独立地影响货币和实物的发展。这导致有人提议,在反映消费者价格通胀未来走势的央行领先指标工具包中,让资产价格发挥更突出的作用。在本研究中,我们在简化形式的通货膨胀方程的背景下,研究了不同变量(包括标准解释变量)以及一些特定资产价格变量(即住房和股票价格的变化,收益率差和石油价格)的重要性。在这种背景下,我们采用了面板方法,涵盖了17个工业化国家和欧元区的数据。我们的分析得出了三个主要结果。首先,通过通货膨胀、产出缺口、短期利率、石油价格、房屋和股票价格以及汇率的(滞后)发展来解释当前通货膨胀的标准框架似乎表现得相当好,尽管这些方程的解释力随着时间范围的延长而降低。其次,关于资产价格的作用,可以证明,房价走势似乎比股票价格走势更能提供有关未来消费者价格发展的有用信息。最后,分析结果表明,随着时间范围的延长,广义货币政策的发展变得更加相关。相比之下,股票价格和收益率差似乎在某种程度上提供的信息较少。

This paper makes two contributions to the research on colonialism, slave trade, and Africa’s current underdevelopment. First, it proposes empirical evidence suggesting that both the cultural channel and the institutional channel, which are discussed in the literature, are not enough to fully explain the negative effect of colonialism and slave trade on current economic performance. Second, it contributes to the theoretical and empirical understanding by elaborating on two possible additional channels: the accumulation of capital channel and the demographic channel.
本文对殖民主义、奴隶贸易和非洲当前的欠发达问题的研究有两个贡献。首先,它提出的经验证据表明,文献中讨论的文化渠道和制度渠道都不足以完全解释殖民主义和奴隶贸易对当前经济绩效的负面影响。其次,通过阐述两个可能的额外渠道:资本积累渠道和人口渠道,有助于理论和实证的理解。

This paper aims at identifying the determinants of export activity of EU countries under conditions of economic crisis. Traditional variables (such as price competitiveness and external demand) are considered; however, new elements are also introduced, including the effect of shrinking domestic demand that motivates producers to target international markets and also the “value added” of the implemented structural reforms that may induce investment in export-oriented firms (by affecting the business environment). Due to these new elements, we focus our analysis onto EU countries that were affected more by the crisis or even had to appeal for ad-hoc external financing of their borrowing requirements (Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Spain). Our analysis is conducted using panel data covering selected EU countries for a period both prior and following the outbreak of the crisis. In this context, an explanation is offered for the rebound of Greek exports in the aftermath of the internal devaluation policy mix implemented since 2010. More generally, and based on the findings of the paper, an intuition is offered on whether and how exports could serve as a growth driver for the aforementioned countries while the overall effect of structural reforms on exports is evaluated accordingly.
本文旨在确定经济危机条件下欧盟国家出口活动的决定因素。考虑了传统变量(如价格竞争力和外部需求);然而,也引入了新的因素,包括国内需求萎缩的影响,促使生产者将目标瞄准国际市场,以及实施的结构改革的“增值”可能(通过影响商业环境)吸引对出口导向型公司的投资。由于这些新因素,我们将分析重点放在受危机影响更大,甚至不得不为其借款需求呼吁临时外部融资的欧盟国家(爱尔兰、希腊、葡萄牙和西班牙)。我们的分析是使用涵盖危机爆发前后一段时间的选定欧盟国家的面板数据进行的。在此背景下,本文为希腊出口在2010年以来实施的内部贬值政策组合后反弹提供了一种解释。更一般地说,基于本文的发现,对出口是否以及如何成为上述国家的增长动力提供了一种直觉,同时相应地评估了结构性改革对出口的总体影响。

Remittances and Real Investment in Jordan: Is There a Link? An Empirical Investigation 约旦的汇款和实际投资:有联系吗?实证调查

The study attempts to test the long-run equilibrium relationships between the flows of workers’ remittances, andreal investment.Using Jordanian data, over the period 1976 to 2012, the empirical results provide strong evidence on the presence of a long-run stable investment function. In the short-run, remittances has a positive and significant effect on the real investment; a consistent result with the literature. Therefore, the results confirm the significant impact of worker’s remittances on the real investment found in the previous literature using a cointegration technique. Both Engle-Granger and Johansen cointegration tests show that real investment and remittances are cointegrated and there is clear evidence on the presence of a long-run relationship among them in Jordan. This is based on the statistical significance of the coefficient of the error correction term. The estimated coefficient is -0.545 and statistically significant with the anticipated negative sign, which indicates that the speed of adjustment to equilibrium in the long-run is relatively high. This finding emphasises the importance of the flows of remittances to labour-exporting countrieson the real investment especially in the case of Jordan.
该研究试图检验工人汇款流与实际投资之间的长期均衡关系。利用1976 - 2012年期间的约旦数据,实证结果为长期稳定投资函数的存在提供了强有力的证据。在短期内,汇款对实际投资具有显著的正向影响;结果与文献一致。因此,研究结果证实了以前文献中使用协整技术发现的工人汇款对实际投资的显著影响。恩格尔-格兰杰和约翰森协整检验都表明,实际投资和汇款是协整的,并且有明确的证据表明,在约旦,两者之间存在长期关系。这是基于误差修正项系数的统计显著性。估计系数为-0.545,且具有显著的统计学意义,并带有预期的负号,表明在长期内调整到均衡的速度相对较高。这一发现强调了向劳工出口国汇款对实际投资的重要性,特别是在约旦。

This paper uses P.R. China’s provincial data from 2003 to 2012 to empirically measure the impact of marketization on the reverse technology spillover effects of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) using a panel threshold regression model. Results show a positive reverse technology spillover effect of OFDI when the degree of marketization exceeds certain threshold levels. P.R. China can increase total factor productivity by accelerating the implementation of reforms in market policy toward outward FDI that take into account the differential regional marketization levels.
本文利用2003 - 2012年中国各省数据,运用面板阈值回归模型实证检验了市场化对对外直接投资(OFDI)逆向技术溢出效应的影响。结果表明,当市场化程度超过一定阈值水平时,对外直接投资具有正向的反向技术溢出效应。考虑到区域市场化水平的差异,中国可以通过加快实施对外直接投资市场政策改革来提高全要素生产率。

The Financial Services Action Plan (FSAP) of the European Commission intends to create an open, secure, integrated financial market across EU member countries. Although recent research has shown a positive impact of the FSAP directives on cross-border lending and industrial growth, the effect on financial development remains to be examined. Using principal component analysis to construct financial, banking sector, bond and stock market development indices, we investigate the impact of financial harmonization policies of the FSAP on financial development in a panel of twenty five EU member states for the period of 1996 – 2007. Taking into account the timing perspective in implementing the FSAP directives across countries we find a positive link between financial harmonization and financial development. The results are shown to be robust to different approaches in constructing the harmonization index and the harmonization difference (relative timing of adoption) variable, and adding further controls and years to account for the recent period.
欧盟委员会的金融服务行动计划(FSAP)旨在建立一个开放、安全、一体化的欧盟成员国金融市场。尽管最近的研究表明,金融服务体系指令对跨境贷款和工业增长有积极影响,但对金融发展的影响仍有待研究。本文采用主成分分析法构建金融、银行业、债券和股票市场发展指数,以1996 - 2007年25个欧盟成员国为研究对象,考察了金融统一政策对金融发展的影响。考虑到各国实施金融稳定方案指令的时间角度,我们发现金融协调与金融发展之间存在积极联系。结果表明,在构建协调指数和协调差异(采用的相对时间)变量以及增加进一步的控制和年份来解释最近一段时间的不同方法中,结果都是稳健的。

Policy Uncertainty and the Demand for Money in the United States 政策不确定性与美国的货币需求

Abstract Previous studies that included any uncertainty measure in the specification of the demand for money in the U.S. derived their measures either from volatility of nominal money supply or volatility of real GDP. However, other factors such as taxes, spending, regulation, the Fed’s announcements, budget deficits, etc. could also contribute to an uncertain environment. A new measure of uncertainty that accounts for all these factors is now constructed and published. In this paper we include this comprehensive new measure known as “policy uncertainty” in estimating the demand for M2 in the U.S. Empirical results show that this new uncertainty measure has short-run and long-run positive effect, implying that due to policy uncertainty Americans hold more cash and this could contribute to a prolonged recession. JEL Classification: E41
以往的研究将任何不确定性指标纳入美国货币需求指标中,其指标要么来自名义货币供给的波动性,要么来自实际GDP的波动性。然而,其他因素,如税收、支出、监管、美联储公告、预算赤字等,也可能导致不确定的环境。考虑到所有这些因素的一种新的不确定性测量方法现已被构建和发表。在本文中,我们将这种被称为“政策不确定性”的综合新指标纳入美国M2需求的估算中。实证结果表明,这种新的不确定性指标具有短期和长期的积极影响,这意味着由于政策不确定性,美国人持有更多的现金,这可能导致长期衰退。JEL分类:E41

The Quantity Theory of Money: Valid Only for High and Medium Inflation? 货币数量理论:只适用于高通胀和中等通胀?

Under the assumption of a constant liquidity preference in the equation of exchange, the quantity theory of money (QTM) has been frequently confirmed for strong inflation regimes, but much less so for medium or low inflation. Against the backdrop of Milton Friedman’s famous rule and relaxing the constancy assumption, we study the time series and crosssectional properties of central variables of the Cambridge-form of the equation of exchange across a large sample of countries. In doing so, we particularly focus on the liquidity preference parameter. Our cross-country analysis confirms Friedman’s conviction drawn from US data as we find the liquidity preference to also internationally grow secularly by about 2 percent p.a. on average. This holds for low-inflation as well as high-inflation countries.
在交换方程中流动性偏好不变的假设下,货币数量理论(QTM)经常在强通货膨胀制度下得到证实,但在中等或低通货膨胀制度下却很少得到证实。在米尔顿·弗里德曼著名的规则和放宽常数假设的背景下,我们研究了跨大量国家样本的剑桥形式交换方程的中心变量的时间序列和横截面性质。在此过程中,我们特别关注流动性偏好参数。我们的跨国分析证实了弗里德曼从美国数据中得出的信念,因为我们发现流动性偏好也在国际上平均每年增长约2%。这对低通胀国家和高通胀国家都适用。

The Effects of Exchange Rate Volatility on U.S.-Chilean Industry Trade Flows 汇率波动对美智工业贸易流动的影响

The effects of exchange-rate volatility on trade, while often assumed to be detrimental, are actually ambiguous. Numerous theoretical and empirical studies have found positive as well as negative effects. Analyses of disaggregated trade flows in particular have found many individual industries to register no effect at all. As a result, specific industries and specific country pairs must be examined on a case-by-case basis. This study examines U.S.-Chilean trade for 113 export and 23 import industries using annual data from 1971 to 2010. While aggregate trade shows little impact, industry-level effects are stronger. Half of the U.S. export industries in SITC sector 8 (Miscellaneous Manufactured Articles) respond negatively, suggesting that Chilean imports of type of product would increase as the result of a more stable peso.
汇率波动对贸易的影响,虽然通常被认为是有害的,但实际上是模糊的。大量的理论和实证研究发现了积极和消极的影响。特别是对分类贸易流量的分析发现,许多个别行业根本没有任何影响。因此,必须逐案审查特定行业和特定国家对。本研究使用1971年至2010年的年度数据考察了113个出口行业和23个进口行业的美智贸易。虽然总体贸易受到的影响不大,但行业层面的影响更大。美国出口行业中有一半的SITC部门(杂项制成品)的反应是负面的,这表明由于比索更加稳定,智利对这类产品的进口将会增加。

This study examines U.S.-Chilean trade for 113 export and 23 import industries using annual data from 1971 to 2010. While aggregate trade shows little impact, industry-level effects are stronger. Half of the U.S. export industries in SITC sector 8 (Miscellaneous Manufactured Articles) respond negatively, suggesting that Chilean imports of type of product would increase as the result of a more stable peso.","PeriodicalId":36978,"journal":{"name":"Applied Economics Quarterly","volume":"61 1","pages":"353-371"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70167757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Are cash payments, in any post-industrial economy, only a barbarous relic of the past? And should they be replaced by dematerialized payment methods? According to our analysis, cash represents a natural drive towards economic dynamism and growth. From a behavioural standpoint, resources hold in cash entail reassuring components, which have ancestral origins and cannot be eliminated by law. That notwithstanding, in several European countries a clear tendency has emerged towards imposing a limit to the use of cash, based on the supposition that it may reduce capital flight and tax fraud. Not only are these cash acceptance thresholds – mostly introduced around the crisis year 2012 – likely to have detrimental repercussions on consumption as well as GDP growth levels, but they may also cause panic waves in times of economic uncertainty. These outcomes seem particularly probable given the imperfect replaceability of cash by other payment alternatives. In addition, inadequate communication by policymakers combined with the (growing) taxation of intangible financial assets and the menace, albeit infrequent, of haircuts on bank accounts are the opposite of any coherent marketing strategy in support of cashless economies.
在任何后工业经济中,现金支付都只是过去野蛮的遗迹吗?它们是否应该被非物质化的支付方式所取代?根据我们的分析,现金代表着经济活力和增长的自然动力。从行为的角度来看,以现金形式持有的资源包含令人放心的成分,这些成分具有祖先的起源,不能被法律消除。尽管如此,在几个欧洲国家出现了一种明显的趋势,即根据现金可能减少资本外逃和税务欺诈的假设,对现金的使用施加限制。这些现金接受门槛——大多是在2012年危机前后引入的——不仅可能对消费和GDP增长水平产生不利影响,而且还可能在经济不确定时期引发恐慌。鉴于其他支付方式无法完全替代现金,上述结果似乎尤其有可能出现。此外,政策制定者的沟通不足,加上对无形金融资产(日益增加)征税,以及银行账户扣减(尽管并不常见)的威胁,与支持无现金经济的任何连贯营销策略都是背道而驰的。
