Premature deindustrialization in most emerging and developing economies is one of the most striking stylized facts of the recent decades. In this paper, we provide solid empirical evidence supporting that the choice of a fixed exchange rate regime accelerates this phenomenon. Relying on a panel of 146 developed, emerging, and developing countries over the 1974–2019 period, we show that fixed exchange rate regimes have had a negative, significant, and robust effect on the size of the manufacturing sector—developing countries being the most affected by the industrial cost of such a regime. Additional gravity model regressions show that the impact of fixed regimes passes through the trade channel. In particular, this regime has kept countries with low relative productivity in a state of structural dependence on imports of manufactured products to the detriment of the emergence of a strong local manufacturing sector.
在大多数新兴和发展中经济体中,过早的去工业化是近几十年来最引人注目的程式化事实之一。在本文中,我们提供了坚实的经验证据,支持固定汇率制度的选择加速了这一现象。通过对1974-2019年期间146个发达国家、新兴国家和发展中国家的调查,我们发现固定汇率制度对制造业规模产生了负面、显著和强劲的影响——发展中国家受这种制度的工业成本影响最大。额外的重力模型回归表明,固定制度的影响通过贸易渠道传递。特别是,这种制度使相对生产率较低的国家在结构上依赖制成品进口,从而损害了强大的当地制造业部门的出现。

Human and physical capital: Welfare and income effects of government spending 人力和物质资本:政府支出对福利和收入的影响
IF 1.5 3区 经济学 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-19 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmacro.2025.103737

Insufficient physical and human capital are major impediments to development and poverty reduction in low-income countries. Given the financial constraint, should the governments emphasize physical capital or human capital investment and what instruments should they use? This paper addresses these questions using a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with human capital and two-sectors: formal and informal. The model is estimated using data from India. Results demonstrate that investment subsidy is the most effective instrument in raising the GDP and aggregate welfare followed by government physical capital investment. However, both these policies mainly benefit the rich. The government investment in schooling and tuition subsidies targeted at poor are the most effective instruments for raising the employment income and welfare of poor. Using government physical capital investment in combination with either government schooling investment or tuition subsidy targeted at poor, the government can raise the GDP and income and welfare of both rich and poor.
物质和人力资本不足是低收入国家发展和减贫的主要障碍。在财政紧张的情况下,政府应该重视物质资本投资还是人力资本投资?应该使用什么工具?本文利用人力资本和正式和非正式两部门的动态随机一般均衡模型来解决这些问题。该模型是使用来自印度的数据估算的。结果表明,投资补贴是提高GDP和社会总福利的最有效手段,其次是政府实物资本投资。然而,这两项政策主要有利于富人。政府对贫困人口的教育投入和学费补贴是提高贫困人口就业、收入和福利的最有效手段。通过政府实物资本投资与政府教育投资或针对贫困人口的学费补贴相结合,既可以提高GDP,也可以提高富人和穷人的收入和福利。

Debt service channel for external debt and growth in developing countries 外债的偿债渠道和发展中国家的增长
IF 1.5 3区 经济学 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-10 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmacro.2026.103738

This paper investigates the relevance of the “debt service channel” for external debt in developing countries, arguing that this channel exerts a distinct impact on economic activity beyond the effects of external debt levels. To characterize this mechanism, the paper first develops a small open economy real business cycle model featuring an external debt service mechanism. Specifically, the model incorporates a random maturity structure for external debt to demonstrate how debt burden shocks function as a distinct mechanism, independent of credit shocks. The impulse responses show that a rise in the debt service burden is associated with declines in employment, investment, consumption, and output, as economic agents are unable to fully smooth out these shocks due to prevailing budget constraints and risk premia. Empirical analysis for a large sample of developing countries covering the last five decades also produces supportive evidence. Namely, higher levels of external debt service lead to a contraction in output for an extended period, a finding that remains robust across various model specifications. Therefore, this paper establishes the significance of the “debt service channel” and shows its importance for external debt dynamics in developing countries.
本文研究了发展中国家外债的“偿债渠道”的相关性,认为这一渠道对经济活动的影响超出了外债水平的影响。为了刻画这一机制,本文首先建立了一个以对外偿债机制为特征的小型开放经济实体经济周期模型。具体而言,该模型纳入了外债的随机期限结构,以证明债务负担冲击如何作为一种独立于信贷冲击的独特机制发挥作用。冲动反应表明,偿债负担的增加与就业、投资、消费和产出的下降有关,因为由于普遍的预算限制和风险溢价,经济主体无法完全消除这些冲击。对过去50年发展中国家的大量样本进行的实证分析也得出了支持性的证据。也就是说,较高的外债还本付息水平会导致产出在较长时期内收缩,这一发现在各种模型规格中都是强有力的。因此,本文确立了“偿债渠道”的意义,并说明了其对发展中国家外债动态的重要性。

Inflation expectations and political polarization: Evidence from the cooperative election study 通胀预期与政治两极分化:来自合作选举研究的证据
IF 1.5 3区 经济学 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-15 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmacro.2025.103726

Using a unique, nationally representative survey from the 2022 midterm elections, we investigate the partisan divide in beliefs about inflation. Party identity is predictive of inflation forecasts, as well as stated beliefs about recent inflation and the Federal Reserve’s long-run inflation target. After conditioning on those two variables, the partisan gap in forecasts is about half of the unconditional average difference between Democrats and Republicans. We find that the difference in reported forecasts conditional on nowcasts and long-run beliefs is driven by respondents who have high levels of knowledge about politics and lower levels of (generalized) trust in others. Our findings are consistent with the literature in political psychology that examines the endorsement of conspiracy theories and political misinformation, and imply a sizable portion of the partisan divide in inflation forecasts is attributable to strategic responses to forecast surveys.
通过对2022年中期选举进行的一项独特的、具有全国代表性的调查,我们调查了两党在通胀观念上的分歧。政党身份可以预测通胀预测,以及对近期通胀和美联储(fed)长期通胀目标的看法。在排除这两个变量后,党派预测的差距大约是民主党和共和党之间无条件平均差异的一半。我们发现,基于短时预测和长期信念的报告预测的差异是由对政治有较高知识水平和对他人(普遍)信任水平较低的受访者驱动的。我们的研究结果与政治心理学的文献一致,这些文献研究了阴谋论和政治错误信息的认可,并暗示通货膨胀预测中的党派分歧很大一部分可归因于对预测调查的战略反应。

The dollar squeeze and economic growth 美元紧缩与经济增长

We study how deviations from covered interest parity — captured by the cross-currency basis (CCB) — affect output growth. Using quarterly data for advanced economies (AEs) and emerging markets (EMs) in panel VAR and IV-local-projections models, we find that positive CCB shocks reduce output, implying that easier dollar funding conditions can be contractionary. While dollar liquidity still supports growth during acute stress episodes in AEs, it has the opposite effect in normal times. In AEs, exchange-rate appreciation compensates holders of local-currency assets, eroding export competitiveness and lowering growth. In EMs, easier dollar access encourages shifts into local-currency assets, crowding out domestic liquidity and dampening activity.
我们研究了由交叉货币基差(CCB)反映的利差对产出增长的影响。在面板VAR和iv -local- local预测模型中使用发达经济体(ae)和新兴市场(EMs)的季度数据,我们发现积极的建行冲击会减少产出,这意味着更宽松的美元融资条件可能是收缩性的。尽管美元流动性在ae的严重压力时期仍能支撑经济增长,但在正常时期却会产生相反的效果。在ae,汇率升值补偿了当地货币资产的持有者,削弱了出口竞争力,降低了增长。在新兴市场,更容易获得美元会鼓励投资者转向本币资产,挤出国内流动性,抑制经济活动。

Demystifying monetary policy surprises: Fed response to financial conditions and wait and see for new economic data 揭开货币政策意外的神秘面纱:美联储对金融状况的反应,并等待和观察新的经济数据
IF 1.5 3区 经济学 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-12 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmacro.2025.103736

Why are supposedly exogenous monetary policy surprises, measured by changes in short-term financial contracts within short windows around FOMC announcements, partially predicted by pre-meeting economic and financial information? We propose a new explanation: the Federal Reserve targets economic variables by responding primarily to financial conditions while adopting a “wait-and-see” approach to recent economic data. When markets expect the Fed to target economic variables directly, this creates the predictable component of policy surprises. Using daily-frequency economic and financial data from 2000–2019, we find three pieces of supporting evidence: First, the previously documented strong predictors are reflected in financial markets and not in the Fed’s private information. Second, controlling for financial conditions, recent real economic surprises negatively predict policy surprises, which supports the “wait-and-see” hypothesis over a more aggressive response to economic news (Bauer and Swanson, 2023b). Third, financial conditions alone predict policy surprises as effectively as all other documented predictors combined.
为什么所谓的外生货币政策意外(通过FOMC公告前后短窗口内短期金融合约的变化来衡量)在一定程度上可以通过会议前的经济和金融信息来预测?我们提出了一种新的解释:美联储主要通过对金融状况做出反应来瞄准经济变量,同时对最近的经济数据采取“观望”态度。当市场预期美联储将直接针对经济变量时,这就产生了政策意外的可预测成分。利用2000年至2019年的每日经济和金融数据,我们发现了三条支持证据:首先,之前记录的强预测指标反映在金融市场上,而不是美联储的私人信息中。其次,在控制金融条件的情况下,最近的实际经济意外会对政策意外产生负面预测,这支持了“观望”假设,而不是对经济新闻做出更积极的反应(Bauer和Swanson, 2023b)。第三,金融状况本身预测政策意外的效果,与所有其他有记录的预测因素加起来一样有效。

The impact of financial uncertainty shocks on firm creation across US states 金融不确定性冲击对美国各州企业创建的影响

This paper provides novel empirical evidence on the effects of a financial uncertainty shock on firm creation across the US states. Using state-level firm data between 1979 and 2019, we find that on average a one standard deviation financial uncertainty shock is associated with a 0.12 percentage point decline in the firm entry rate. Cross sectional regressions reveal that heterogeneity in industry composition and the existence and duration of right-to-work laws are an important source of transmission of a financial uncertainty shock to the states. In particular, a financial uncertainty shock is associated with larger declines in the firm entry rate in states with larger manufacturing and mining sectors and in states with a right-to-work law.
本文为金融不确定性冲击对美国各州企业创建的影响提供了新的实证证据。利用1979年至2019年的国家级企业数据,我们发现,平均而言,一个标准差的金融不确定性冲击与企业进入率下降0.12个百分点相关。横断面回归显示,行业构成的异质性以及工作权法的存在和持续时间是金融不确定性冲击向各州传导的重要来源。特别是,在制造业和采矿业规模较大的州以及有工作权法的州,金融不确定性冲击与企业入职率大幅下降有关。

Was pandemic fiscal relief effective fiscal stimulus? Evidence from aid to state and local governments 流行病财政救助是有效的财政刺激吗?对州和地方政府的援助就是证据

We use an instrumental-variables estimator reliant on variation in congressional representation to analyze the macroeconomic effects of federal aid to state and local governments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through December 2022, we estimate statistically insignificant impacts of federal aid on employment. Our baseline point estimate suggests that $603,000 were allocated for each state or local government job-year preserved, and the bounds on our baseline confidence interval rule out estimates smaller than $220,400. Our estimates of effects on aggregate income and output are centered on zero and imply modest if any spillover effects onto the broader economy.

Public investment multipliers and the role of efficiency: new evidence for emerging markets 公共投资乘数和效率的作用:新兴市场的新证据

This paper estimates the public investment multiplier in a sample of emerging economies across Latin America and the Caribbean under a common methodological approach. Based on the Local Projections method, we identify fiscal shocks using timing restrictions for a panel of 11 countries observed over the last 30 years. The results show that the multiplier is, on average, 1.1 two years after the investment shock. In addition, we find heterogeneous multiplier effects depending on the degree of public investment efficiency. Under low levels of efficiency, public investment does not affect economic activity. However, the multiplier is 2.5 and private sector investment is stimulated for higher levels of efficiency. By shedding light on the size of the public investment multiplier and its sensitivity to efficiency levels, our findings inform the design of fiscal policy strategies conducive to sustainable growth in emerging markets.
本文以拉丁美洲和加勒比地区新兴经济体为样本,采用一种通用的方法估算了公共投资乘数。基于本地预测方法,我们对过去30年观察的11个国家进行了时间限制,确定了财政冲击。结果表明,投资冲击后两年的乘数平均为1.1。此外,我们发现不同的乘数效应取决于公共投资效率的程度。在低效率水平下,公共投资不会影响经济活动。然而,乘数为2.5,私营部门投资受到刺激以提高效率水平。通过揭示公共投资乘数的大小及其对效率水平的敏感性,我们的研究结果为有利于新兴市场可持续增长的财政政策策略的设计提供了信息。

The US federal government has long played a pivotal role in the mortgage market through various agencies, most notably the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs). The importance of these agencies in the housing credit policy landscape increased during the 1990s and in the years leading up to the Great Recession. This article examines the time-varying effects of monetary policy on mortgage credit, focusing on the role of housing credit policy from the early 1990s to 2014. Using a time-varying parameter vector autoregression model and high-frequency monetary policy surprises, I show that GSEs’ activity in the secondary mortgage market has shaped the response of mortgage originations to monetary policy shocks. As GSEs became more involved in housing policy, the response of mortgage refinancing originations and GSEs’ mortgage purchases to monetary policy strengthened. This suggests that contractionary monetary policy, by undermining housing policy objectives and increasing profit opportunities from mortgage purchases, may prompt a stronger response from GSEs, which in turn dampens the adverse effects of monetary policy tightening on housing activity.
长期以来,美国联邦政府一直通过各种机构,尤其是政府支持企业(gse),在抵押贷款市场发挥着关键作用。这些机构在住房信贷政策领域的重要性在20世纪90年代和大衰退之前的几年里有所增加。本文考察了货币政策对抵押贷款信贷的时变效应,重点研究了20世纪90年代初至2014年住房信贷政策的作用。使用时变参数向量自回归模型和高频货币政策意外,我表明gse在二级抵押贷款市场的活动塑造了抵押贷款来源对货币政策冲击的反应。随着政府支持企业更多地参与住房政策,抵押贷款再融资发起和政府支持企业购买抵押贷款对货币政策的反应增强。这表明,紧缩的货币政策,通过破坏住房政策目标和增加抵押贷款购买的盈利机会,可能会促使gse做出更强烈的反应,这反过来又会抑制货币政策收紧对住房活动的不利影响。
