We establish a set of novel empirical facts concerning cross-section distributions of inflation expectations reported in surveys. Almost all the variation in expectations about their mean may be summarized via three factors we call disagreement, skew, and shape. We adopt a functional principal component regression approach to estimating forward-looking models of inflation that exploits the heterogeneity present in individual-level data. By using survey information more effectively, our approach reveals an enhanced role for expectations in inflation dynamics that is robust to lagged inflation, trend inflation, and supply factors. Our findings hold in similar form across two major economies.
我们建立了一套关于调查中报告的通胀预期横截面分布的新经验事实。几乎所有期望值的变化都可以归结为三个因素,我们称之为分歧、偏差和形状。我们采用功能主成分回归方法来估计通货膨胀的前瞻性模型,该模型利用了个人水平数据中存在的异质性。通过更有效地使用调查信息,我们的方法揭示了预期在通胀动态中的增强作用,对滞后通胀、趋势通胀和供应因素都是稳健的。我们的研究结果在两个主要经济体中也有类似的形式。

We investigate the impact that the publication of the Bank of England’s Financial Stability Report (FSR) has on the stock returns and credit default swap spreads of UK financial institutions. Examining a sample of 73 UK-listed banks and other financial institutions, we find that publication of the FSR is, on average, associated with no abnormal returns. We extend our analysis to examine the extent to which policies and the sentiment in the FSR are predictable, which would explain the observed lack of abnormal returns. We find that both sentiment and announced policies are predictable. We also examine the extent to which the release of the FSR reduces information asymmetry in financial markets, but do not find strong evidence.
我们研究了英格兰银行金融稳定报告(FSR)的发布对英国金融机构股票收益和信用违约互换价差的影响。通过对73家英国上市银行和其他金融机构的抽样研究,我们发现,平均而言,FSR的发布与异常收益无关。我们扩展了我们的分析,以检验FSR中的政策和情绪在多大程度上是可预测的,这将解释观察到的缺乏异常回报。我们发现,市场情绪和已宣布的政策都是可以预测的。我们还研究了FSR的发布在多大程度上减少了金融市场的信息不对称,但没有找到强有力的证据。

The Real Effects of Zombie Lending in Europe 欧洲僵尸贷款的实际影响
Pub Date : 2019-03-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3346350
Belinda Tracey
Around 10% of European firms were in receipt of subsidized bank loans following the peak of the European sovereign debt crisis in 2011. To what extent did such forbearance lending contribute to the subsequent low output growth experienced by the euro area? In this paper, we address this question by developing a quantitative model of firm dynamics in which forbearance lending and firm defaults arise endogenously. The model provides a close approximation to key euro-area firm statistics over the period 2011 to 2014. We evaluate the impact of forbearance lending by considering a counterfactual scenario in which firms no longer have access to loan forbearance. Our key finding is that aggregate output, investment and total factor productivity are higher in the absence of forbearance lending than in the benchmark scenario that includes forbearance lending. This suggests that forbearance lending practices contributed to the low output growth across the euro area following the onset of the sovereign debt crisis.
2011 年欧洲主权债务危机达到顶峰后,约 10%的欧洲企业获得了银行补贴贷款。这种暂缓贷款在多大程度上导致了欧元区随后经历的低产出增长?在本文中,我们通过建立一个企业动态定量模型来解决这一问题,在该模型中,暂缓贷款和企业违约是内生性的。该模型提供了 2011 年至 2014 年期间欧元区主要企业统计数据的近似值。我们通过考虑企业不再获得贷款暂缓的反事实情景来评估贷款暂缓的影响。我们的主要发现是,在没有暂缓贷款的情况下,总产出、投资和全要素生产率均高于包含暂缓贷款的基准情景。这表明,在主权债务危机爆发后,暂缓贷款做法导致了整个欧元区的低产出增长。

The impact of corporate QE on liquidity: evidence from the UK 企业量化宽松对流动性的影响:来自英国的证据
Pub Date : 2019-03-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3346331

There is substantial uncertainty about the impact of quantitative easing (QE) on market liquidity. Identifying the impact is particularly challenging due to the potential for reverse causality, because liquidity considerations might affect QE purchases. We address this challenge by studying the Bank of England’s 2016-17 Corporate Bond Purchase Scheme (CBPS). In particular, we use granular offer-level data from the CBPS auctions to construct proxy measures for the BoE’s demand for bonds and auction participants’ supply of bonds, allowing us to control for any reverse causality from liquidity to purchases. We find that CBPS purchases improved the liquidity of purchased bonds.
量化宽松(QE)对市场流动性的影响存在很大的不确定性。由于潜在的反向因果关系,确定影响尤其具有挑战性,因为流动性考虑可能会影响量化宽松的购买。我们通过研究英国央行2016-17年公司债券购买计划(CBPS)来应对这一挑战。特别是,我们使用来自CBPS拍卖的细粒度要约水平数据来构建英国央行对债券的需求和拍卖参与者对债券的供应的代理度量,使我们能够控制从流动性到购买的任何反向因果关系。我们发现购买CBPS提高了购买债券的流动性。

Rethinking Financial Stability 重新思考金融稳定
Pub Date : 2018-02-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3130053

The global financial crisis has been the prompt for a complete rethink of financial stability and policies for achieving it. Over the course of the better part of a decade, a deep and wide-ranging international regulatory reform effort has been under way, as great as any since the Great Depression. We provide an overview of the state of progress of these reforms, and assess whether they have achieved their objectives and where gaps remain. We find that additional insights gained since the start of the reforms paint an ambiguous picture on whether the current level of bank capital should be higher or lower. Additionally, we present new evidence that a combination of different regulatory metrics can achieve better outcomes in terms of financial stability than reliance on individual constraints in isolation. We discuss in depth several recurring themes of the regulatory framework, such as the appropriate degree of discretion versus rules, the setting of macroprudential objectives, and the choice of policy instruments. We conclude with suggestions for future research and policy, including on models of financial stability, market-based finance, the political economy of financial regulation, and the contribution of the financial system to the economy and to society.
全球金融危机促使人们对金融稳定和实现金融稳定的政策进行全面反思。在过去10年的大部分时间里,一场深入而广泛的国际监管改革努力正在进行,规模之大不亚于大萧条(great Depression)以来的任何一次。我们概述了这些改革的进展情况,并评估它们是否实现了目标,以及存在哪些差距。我们发现,自改革开始以来获得的额外见解描绘了一幅模糊的画面,即当前银行资本水平应该更高还是更低。此外,我们提出了新的证据,表明在金融稳定方面,不同监管指标的组合比单独依赖个别约束能取得更好的结果。我们深入讨论了监管框架的几个反复出现的主题,例如自由裁量权与规则的适当程度,宏观审慎目标的设定以及政策工具的选择。最后,我们对未来的研究和政策提出了建议,包括金融稳定模型、市场金融、金融监管的政治经济学以及金融体系对经济和社会的贡献。

Bankers' Pay and Excessive Risk 银行家薪酬与过度风险
Pub Date : 2016-07-25 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2674040
John Thanassoulis, Misa Tanaka
This paper studies the agency problem between bank management, shareholders, and the taxpayer. Executive bonuses increase in the probability the bank is too big to fail. Bank management recognise it is very likely optimal to select risky projects which exploit the taxpayer, implying project selection effort (eg due diligence) is more expensive to incentivise. This agency problem leads to too much risk for society, not for shareholders. Compensation rules aimed at solving management-shareholder agency problems — equity pay, deferred, including debt — do not correct the excessive risk taking. By contrast, malus and clawbacks can incentivise the bank management to make better risk choices.
本文研究了银行管理层、股东和纳税人之间的代理问题。高管奖金增加了银行“大到不能倒”的可能性。银行管理层认识到,选择利用纳税人的高风险项目很可能是最佳选择,这意味着项目选择工作(如尽职调查)的激励成本更高。这种代理问题给社会带来了太多风险,而不是给股东带来了太多风险。旨在解决管理层-股东代理问题(股权薪酬、延期支付、包括债务)的薪酬规则,并没有纠正过度冒险行为。相比之下,惩罚和追回可以激励银行管理层做出更好的风险选择。

House Prices and Job Losses 房价和失业
Pub Date : 2015-12-11 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2702458
Gábor Pintér
Why are house prices -80% correlated with job losses over the UK business cycle? My paper studies this striking fact together with the strong comovements between house prices and labour market variables in general. First, a regional panel is estimated to quantify the impact of house prices on the unemployment, job finding and job separation rates, whereby rejection rates of planning applications are used as instruments to find exogenous variation in house prices. Second, an orthogonalised VAR is used to estimate the aggregate impact of house price shocks. Both methods confirm the large impact of house price shocks on labour market variables and credit supply. To understand the mechanism, a general equilibrium model with collateral constraints, endogenous job separation and housing shocks is confronted with macroeconomic data via Bayesian methods. The results suggest that shocks to house prices (i) explain about 10% of output fluctuations and about 20% of fluctuations in corporate credit, unemployment and job separation rates via the collateral channel over the forecast horizon, and (ii) were a major cause in triggering the 1990 and 2008 recessions in the UK.
为什么房价与英国商业周期中80%的失业相关?我的论文研究了这一惊人的事实,以及房价和劳动力市场变量之间的强烈变动。首先,估计一个区域小组来量化房价对失业率、找工作率和离职率的影响,因此,规划申请的拒绝率被用作发现房价外生变化的工具。其次,使用正交化VAR来估计房价冲击的总影响。这两种方法都证实了房价冲击对劳动力市场变量和信贷供应的巨大影响。为了理解这一机制,通过贝叶斯方法对宏观经济数据建立了一个包含附带约束、内生工作分离和住房冲击的一般均衡模型。结果表明,对房价的冲击(i)解释了预测期内通过抵押品渠道产生的约10%的产出波动和约20%的企业信贷、失业率和离职率波动,(ii)是引发1990年和2008年英国经济衰退的主要原因。

Bank Leverage, Credit Traps and Credit Policies 银行杠杆,信贷陷阱和信贷政策
Pub Date : 2015-07-31 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2639061
Angus Foulis, B. Nelson, Misa Tanaka
We construct an overlapping generations macroeconomic model with which to study the causes, consequences and remedies to ‘credit traps’ — prolonged periods of stagnant real activity accompanied by low productivity, financial sector undercapitalisation, and the misallocation of credit. In our model, credit traps arise when shocks to bank equity capital tighten banks’ borrowing constraints, causing them to allocate credit to easily collateralisable but low productivity projects. Low productivity weakens bank capital generation, reinforcing tight borrowing constraints, sustaining the credit trap steady state. We use the model to study policy options, both ex ante(avoiding credit traps) and ex post (escaping them). Ex ante, restrictions on bank leverage can help to enhance the economy’s resilience to the shocks that can cause credit traps. Further, a policymaker focused on maximising the economy’s resilience to credit traps would set leverage countercyclically, allowing an expansion of leverage in minor downturns and reducing leverage in upswings. However, ex post, relaxing a leverage cap will not help escape the trap. Instead, a range of unconventional policies are needed. We study publicly intermediated lending, discount window lending, and recapitalisation, and compare the efficacy of these policies under different conditions.
我们构建了一个世代重叠的宏观经济模型,用来研究“信贷陷阱”的原因、后果和补救措施——长期停滞的实际活动伴随着低生产率、金融部门资本不足和信贷分配不当。在我们的模型中,当银行权益资本的冲击收紧了银行的借贷约束,导致它们将信贷分配给容易抵押但生产率较低的项目时,信贷陷阱就会出现。低生产率削弱了银行的资本生成,强化了紧缩的借贷约束,使信贷陷阱维持稳定状态。我们使用该模型来研究政策选择,包括事前(避免信贷陷阱)和事后(逃避信贷陷阱)。在此之前,限制银行杠杆可以帮助增强经济抵御可能导致信贷陷阱的冲击的能力。此外,专注于最大限度地提高经济对信贷陷阱的抵御能力的政策制定者,将以反周期的方式设定杠杆,允许在小幅低迷时期扩大杠杆,在上涨时期减少杠杆。然而,事后,放松杠杆上限无助于摆脱陷阱。相反,我们需要一系列非常规政策。我们研究了公共中介贷款、贴现窗口贷款和资本重组,并比较了这些政策在不同条件下的有效性。

The UK Productivity Puzzle 2008-13: Evidence from British Businesses 2008-13年英国生产力之谜:来自英国企业的证据
Pub Date : 2015-06-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2623635
Rebecca Riley, Chiara Rosazza Bondibene, G. Young
In many larger advanced economies labour productivity growth slowed sharply and remained subdued for years after the credit crisis of 2007/08. Nowhere was this more obvious than in the United Kingdom. We examine the dynamics of productivity among British businesses that lie behind this stagnation. The most striking feature is the widespread weakness in total factor productivity within firms, pointing to the importance of a common factor in explaining productivity weakness. In addition,we find that the positive correlation between surviving firms’ employment growth and their relative productivity ranking broke down after 2007/08, as would be expected if an adverse credit supply shock had caused inefficiencies in resource allocation across firms. Indeed, during the immediate recession years 2008/09, this shift was most apparent in sectors with many small and bank dependent businesses. But subsequently, while the contribution of external reallocation to aggregate productivity growth in 2010/13 was smaller than in previous years, this was not obviously associated with sectoral bank dependence. We illustrate the sensitivity of these findings to the choice of decomposition method.
在许多较大的发达经济体,劳动生产率增长大幅放缓,并在2007/08年信贷危机后的数年里保持低迷。这一点在英国表现得最为明显。我们研究了这种停滞背后英国企业的生产力动态。最显著的特征是企业内部全要素生产率普遍疲软,这表明了解释生产率疲软的一个共同因素的重要性。此外,我们发现幸存企业的就业增长与其相对生产率排名之间的正相关关系在2007/08年之后被打破,如果不利的信贷供应冲击导致企业之间的资源配置效率低下,这是可以预期的。事实上,在2008/09年经济衰退期间,这种转变在拥有许多小企业和依赖银行的企业的行业表现得最为明显。但随后,尽管外部再配置对2010/13年度总生产率增长的贡献小于往年,但这与部门对银行的依赖没有明显关联。我们说明了这些发现对分解方法选择的敏感性。

We illustrate the sensitivity of these findings to the choice of decomposition method.","PeriodicalId":395566,"journal":{"name":"BOE: Working Paper Series (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130364965","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}

Long-term interest rates in a number of small open inflation-targeting economies co-move more strongly with US long-term rates than with short-term rates in those economies. We augment a standard small open economy model with imperfectly substitutable government bonds and time-varying term premia, that captures this phenomenon. The estimated model fits a range of US and UK data remarkably well, and produces term premium estimates that are comparable to estimates from the affine term structure model literature. We find that the strong co-movement between US and UK long-term interest rates arises primarily via correlated policy rate expectations, rather than through correlated term premia. This is due to policymakers in both economies responding to foreign productivity and discount factor shocks that cause persistent changes in inflation. We also overcome the common failure of similar models to account for the large influence of foreign disturbances on domestic economies found empirically, where in our model around 40% of the variation in UK GDP can be explained by shocks originating in the US economy.
在一些开放的以通胀为目标的小型经济体中,长期利率与美国长期利率的联动比对短期利率的联动更为强烈。我们用不完全可替代的政府债券和时变期限溢价来增强标准的小型开放经济模型,以捕捉这一现象。估计模型非常好地拟合了美国和英国的一系列数据,并产生了与仿射期限结构模型文献估计相当的期限溢价估计。我们发现,美国和英国长期利率之间的强烈联动主要是通过相关的政策利率预期产生的,而不是通过相关的期限溢价产生的。这是由于两个经济体的政策制定者都在应对导致通胀持续变化的外国生产率和贴现因素冲击。我们还克服了类似模型在解释经验发现的外国干扰对国内经济的巨大影响方面的常见失败,在我们的模型中,英国GDP的变化中约有40%可以用源自美国经济的冲击来解释。
