Měnová politika, makroobezřetnostní politika a finanční stabilita v po-krizovém rámci / Monetary Policy, Macroprudential Policy and Financial Stabiliy in the Post-Crisis Framework

Malovaná, Simona January 2019 (has links)
This dissertation consists of four empirical papers analysing and discussing central bank policies in the post-crisis period. After the global financial crisis central bankers and other regulators have faced many new challenges, including a prolonged period of acommodative monetary policy, side effects of monetary policy easing on financial stability and interaction of macroprudential, microprudential and monetary policy. On top of that, policy makers must deal with uncertainty surrounding the transmission and the effectiveness of newly introduced macroprudential measures. The empirical analyses focus primarily on the Czech Republic and its banking sector, with an exception of the first essay. Using data for the Czech Republic and five euro area countries, the first essay shows that monetary tightening has a negative impact on the credit-to-GDP ratio and banks' capital-to-asset ratio, while these effects have strengthened considerably since mid-2011. This supports the view that accommodative monetary policy contributes to a build- up of financial vulnerabilities, i.e. it boosts the credit cycle. The second essay assesses the transmission of higher additional capital requirements stemming from capital buffers and Pillar 2 add-ons on banks' capital ratio, capital surplus and implicit risk weights. The results...

Reavaliando a relação entre independência do Banco Central e custos de desinflação: uma análise de viés de seleção / Reassessing the relationship between Central Bank independence and disinflation costs: a selection bias analysis

Passos, Danilo José Rodrigues 22 November 2012 (has links)
A literatura empírica que buscou investigar os efeitos da independência do banco central sobre os custos de desinflação encontra, quase que em sua totalidade, uma relação positiva entre estas duas variáveis, indicando que episódios desinflacionários mais custosos estão relacionados a países com bancos centrais mais independentes, contrariando a teoria novo clássica, que atribui um prêmio para a credibilidade da política monetária em termos de custos de desinflação. No entanto, a maioria desses trabalhos limita-se à utilização de uma amostra que compreende apenas países desenvolvidos durante o período 1960-1990. Além disso, a metodologia econométrica freqüentemente utilizada é a de Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários, método incapaz de controlar para a existência de algum tipo de endogeneidade ou viés de seleção na relação de interesse. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho busca complementar a literatura existente de duas formas: (1) utilizando uma amostra mais ampla, que inclua não somente países em desenvolvimento, mas também episódios desinflacionários mais recentes; e (2) empregando os métodos baseados em \\textit{propensity score}, metodologia econométrica capaz de controlar para a possível existência de viés de seleção na relação entre independência do banco central e custos de desinflação. Algumas conclusões importantes são obtidas. Primeiramente, quando as metodologias que lidam com a existência de viés de seleção são utilizadas, encontra-se um efeito insignificante do grau de independência do banco central sobre os custos de desinflação. Este resultado se sustenta não somente fazendo uso da amostra introduzida neste trabalho, mas também da amostra frequentemente empregada pela literatura empírica sobre o tema. Ademais, a utilização isolada da amostra mais ampla também aponta para um efeito insignificante da independência, indicando que ainda que houvesse um impacto positivo da independência do banco central sobre os custos de desinflação até o final da década de 1980, as diversas mudanças no ambiente econômico ocorridas nas duas últimas décadas foram capazes de, no mínimo, reduzir tal efeito. / The majority of the empirical literature about the effects of central bank independence on disinflation costs found a positive relationship between these variables, meaning that more costly disinflationary episodes are related to countries with more independent central banks, opposing to the new classical theory, which states that there is a credibility premium in terms of disinflation costs for monetary policy. However, most of these works are concentrated only in disinflationary episodes of developed countries between the period of 1960-1990. Furthermore, the dominant econometric method used is Ordinary Least Squares, a technique incapable of controlling for the existence of endogeneity or selection bias. In that sense, the present work tries to contribute to the existing literature in two distinct ways: (1) by using a broader sample, which includes not only developing countries, but also more recent disinflationary episodes; and (2) by applying models based on propensity score, an econometric method capable of dealing with the possible existence of selection bias in the relationship between central bank independence and disinflation costs. A couple of important conclusions are obtained. First of all, when the models based on propensity score are used, a statistically insignificant effect of the central bank independence on disinflation costs is found. This result is sustained not only when making use of the broader sample introduced in the present work, but also when the sample commonly employed on the empirical literature is used. Moreover, the merely usage of the broader sample also yields an insignificant effect, meaning that even if there was a positive effect of central bank independence on disinflation costs until the end of the 1980\'s, the several changes occurred in the economic environment in the last two decades might have, at least partially, offset this impact.

Did quantitative easing impact wealth inequality?

Georget, Marie-Jacques January 2019 (has links)
On November 25, 2008, the Federal Reserve initiated what came to be the largest Asset Purchase Program in history1, the Large-Scale Asset Purchase Program, widely known a quantitative easing (QE). When the Federal Reserve in October 29, 2014, announced the end of the program, they held $4.5 trillion worth of assets. This rather unconventional monetary policy came in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and since its implementation, critics have argued that the policy increases inequality in terms of income and wealth. Studies on the impact of QE on income inequality lead to divergent conclusions, but the close link between QE and the stock markets, as explained by the Portfolio Rebalancing Effect, suggests that QE should increase wealth inequality. This hypothesis however, relies on a crucial assumption, namely that richer households hold a larger portion of their wealth in stocks. As other assets of a household, such as the primary residence, are likely to increase less than proportionally with wealth, I find it plausible that the portion allocated to direct or indirect stock holdings increases with wealth, resulting in a higher exposure to stocks for the very rich. Statistics from the Survey of Consumer Finances, presented in this paper, confirm that richer households indeed have the higher exposure to stocks. I use a difference-in-difference model to estimate the causal impact of QE on wealth inequality in the United States and my results suggests that wealth inequality attributable to QE) increased with at least 25 percent, measured as a change in the wealth-ratio between the 9th decile of households and the artificial middle-income household constructed in accordance with the Synthetic Control Method.

Preços dos ativos e política monetária : um estudo para os países emergentes no período 1990-2006

Nunes, Maurício Simiano January 2008 (has links)
Nesta tese analisamos a influência dos preços dos ativos na condução da política monetária nos países emergentes no período de 1990 a 2006. Primeiramente, investigamos a presença de bolhas racionais nos preços das ações dos países emergentes através de testes de cointegração linear e não linear. Os resultados indicam a presença de bolhas racionais em pelo menos um dos testes realizados para cada um dos países estudados. Todavia, nossos resultados permitem concluir que as bolhas tendem a ser provocadas por fatores extrínsecos e não pela relação não linear intrínseca entre os preços das ações e os dividendos. Estudamos também a relação entre os retornos de mercado, inflação esperada e crescimento/hiato do produto, através de testes individuais e em conjunto utilizando modelos em painel linear e não linear. Em ambos verificamos que as variáveis financeiras carregam informações úteis, tanto direta como indireta, a respeito da inflação e do crescimento do produto, dentro ou fora da amostra. Por fim, investigamos se os preços dos ativos devem exercer um papel central nas decisões de política monetária, através de modelos GMM (individuais e em painel) e de otimização dinâmica. Os resultados indicam que a razão dividendo-preço e a taxa de câmbio real são bons instrumentos na função de reação dos bancos centrais dos países emergentes, porém não podemos concluir que estas variáveis devam ser utilizadas como argumentos nestas funções de reação. Os resultados também indicam que, nos países que optaram pelo regime de metas de inflação estrita, a melhor opção seria não considerar explicitamente os retornos das ações em suas funções de reação. Para bancos centrais atuando em regimes de metas de inflação com política monetária acomodatícia ou outro tipo de regime, a melhor opção seria considerar os preços das ações em suas funções de reação. / We examine the relationship (if any) between stock prices and monetary policy in 22 emerging countries over the period 1990-2006. First, we investigate whether rational stock price bubbles are present in such countries using linear and nonlinear cointegration. Bubbles were found in at least one out of the six tests considered. These were likely to be caused by extrinsic factors, rather than by the intrinsic nonlinear relation between the stock prices and dividends. Secondly, we evaluate the link between market returns, expected inflation and output gap and growth by employing both individual and joint tests of linear and nonlinear panel models. We find that the stock prices convey useful information about inflation and output growth in-sample and out-of-the-sample Finally, we ask whether the stock prices are to be given a central role in monetary policy decisions using both (individual and panel) GMM models and dynamic optimization. We find that though the dividend-price ratio and the real exchange rate can provide useful information for monetary policy decisions, we should not jump to the conclusion that they have to be considered as arguments of the central banks' reaction functions. For the central banks with explicit inflation targeting, the best choice is not to consider the stock returns in their reaction functions. However, for the other regimes the best choice is to consider the stock returns in the reaction functions.

Ensaios sobre política monetária, forward guidance e credibilidade

Ramos, Pedro Lutz January 2016 (has links)
Devido ao uso crescente de Forward Guidance (FG) pelo mundo e pelo Banco Central do Brasil (BCB), essa tese se dedica a estudar a aplicabilidade dessas medidas para o Brasil. No primeiro estudo, reunimos a literatura sobre o assunto e verificamos que apenas a versão quantitativa do Forward Guidance é recomendada, pelos ganhos institucionais e pela capacidade de evitar mau entendimento sobre a condicionalidade das previsões. Contudo, a versão qualitativa, a mesma que foi empregada pelo BCB, não é recomendada por não trazer os benefícios institucionais e estar mais sujeita às críticas de não condicionalidade das projeções e sobreposição da análise do Banco Central sobre o mercado. Destacamos que na literatura empírica não é claro que há um ganho de eficiência através de aumento da previsibilidade das ações da autoridade monetária com o uso do FG. Adicionalmente, podemos perceber, ao avaliar o comportamento das expectativas de mercado no período, que a autoridade monetária passou a usar FG, que o mercado seguiu as instruções mesmo na presença de choques inflacionários, mas alterando sua avaliação sobre a meta implícita de inflação, ou seja, o mercado acreditou que era uma projeção incondicional. Já no segundo estudo, através de análise fatorial, decompomos baseado na técnica de Gürkaynak, Sack e Swanson (2005), em componentes não observáveis a reação da curva de juros curta após a divulgação do comunicado do Copom Encontramos dois fatores não observáveis ortogonais, o que significa dizer que o mercado brasileiro, além de captar a mensagem sobre a taxa de juros corrente e seus desdobramentos sobre a curva de juros, existe outro componente que reflete a reação à comunicação, mas que interfere na trajetória da taxa de juros não relacionada à mudança na taxa de juros corrente. Ao regredir esses componentes contra a expectativa de inflação, percebemos que na Gestão de Henrique Meirelles, a autoridade afetava as expectativas de inflação aumentando o nível de informação do mercado e tinha capacidade de se comunicar e ser compreendido. Já na Gestão de Alexandre Tombini, perdese a capacidade de movimentar as expectativas de inflação com comunicação e a taxa de juros corrente passa a ser a única forma de reduzir as expectativas inflacionárias dos agentes. Por fim, no terceiro estudo, implementamos os choques antecipados de política monetária em um modelo DSGE de pequena economia aberta, a fim de medir o efeito de Forward Guidance na economia caso fosse feito com total credibilidade. Verificamos que a medida é muito poderosa caso implementada de maneira crível. Também podemos verificar, ao comparar com um anúncio não crível, que a trajetória esperada da taxa de juros exerce um papel importante sobre a economia e que a credibilidade em um processo de estabilização macroeconômica é fundamental. Em resumo, encontramos evidências de que a experiência do FG brasileiro não apresentou os resultados desejados e a sua utilização não é recomendada, seja porque é uma medida que traz poucos benefícios e muitos riscos, seja porque temos evidências de que a autoridade não consegue manejar as expectativas de inflação com comunicação Contudo, caso o BCB recupere essa capacidade, como no passado, entendemos que os impactos de anúncios que surpreendessem a curva de juros seriam elevados. Ainda, nosso estudo reforça a análise de Woodford (2005) de que a compreensão do mercado acerca dos planos da autoridade monetária é chave para que a política monetária ganhe eficiência. Por isso, ter credibilidade é algo extremamente importante e quando se quer estabilizar uma economia deve-se buscar essa qualidade o quanto antes. Por fim, podemos inferir que a política monetária atualmente perdeu parte da sua eficácia, uma vez que os agentes não apreçam a taxa de juros necessária para colocar a inflação na meta e, como veremos no terceiro artigo, é importante que a trajetória esperada seja idêntica ao plano do Banco Central. / Due to the increasing use of Forward Guidance (FG) the world and the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB), this thesis is devoted to studying the applicability of these measures to Brazil. In the first study, we gathered the literature on the subject and found that only quantitative version of Forward Guidance is recommended by institutional gains and the ability to avoid misunderstanding about the conditionality of forecasts. However, the qualitative version, the same as that employed by the BCB, is not recommended for bringing institutional benefits and be more subject to criticism from non-compliance of the projections and overlapping of the Central Bank analysis of the market. We emphasize that the empirical literature is not clear that there is a gain in efficiency by increasing the predictability of the actions of the monetary authority using the FG. Additionally, we can see, to evaluate the behavior of market expectations for the period, the monetary authority started using FG, the market followed the same instructions in the presence of inflationary shocks, but changing its assessment of the implicit inflation target, or words, the market believed it was an unconditional projection. In the second study, through factor analysis, based on factored Gürkaynak technique, Sack, and Swanson (2005), on unobservable components the reaction of short yield curve after the announcement of the release of the Monetary Policy Committee We found two unobservable factors orthogonal, which means that the Brazilian market, and get the message about the current interest rate and its consequences on the yield curve, there is another component that reflects the response to the communication, but it interferes with trajectory of interest rates unrelated to changes in the interest rate. To regrow these components against the expectation of inflation, we realized that in Henrique Meirelles Management, the authority affected inflation expectations increasing market information level and was able to communicate and be understood. In the Alexandre Tombini Management, you lose the ability to move inflation expectations with communication and the interest rate becomes the only way to reduce inflationary expectations of agents. Finally, the third study, we implemented the anticipated shocks of monetary policy in a DSGE model of small open economy, in order to measure the effect of Forward Guidance on the economy if it were done with full credibility. We found that the measure is very powerful if implemented credibly. We can also verify by comparing with a non-credible announcement, the expected path of interest rates plays an important role on the economy and the credibility in a macroeconomic stabilization process is critical. In summary, we found evidence that the Brazilian FG experience did not produce the desired results and its use is not recommended either because it is a measure that brings few benefits and many risks, either because we have evidence that the authority cannot handle the inflation expectations with communication However, if the BCB recover this capacity, as in the past, we believe that the impact of ads that surprises the yield curve would be high. Still, our study reinforces the analysis of Woodford (2005) that the understanding of the market about the monetary authority plans is key for monetary policy to gain efficiency. So have credibility is extremely important and when you want to stabilize an economy should be sought that status as soon as possible. Finally, we can infer that monetary policy currently lost some of its effectiveness, since the agents do not correctly price the interest rate required to bring inflation on target and, as we shall see in the third article, it is important that the expected trajectory is identical Central Bank's plan to.

[en] ESSAYS ON MONETARY POLICY / [pt] ENSAIOS SOBRE POLÍTICA MONETÁRIA

TIAGO SANTANA TRISTAO 25 January 2019 (has links)
[pt] Esta tese consiste de três ensaios sobre política monetária. O primeiro investiga o problema de endogeneidade relacionado a estimação de regras de política monetária. O estimador de Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários gera estimativas viesadas e inconsistentes devido ao problema de endogeneidade. O uso de Método Generalizados dos Momentos (MGM) tem sido defendido como uma maneira eficiente de eliminar o viés. Nós usamos um modelo Novo Keynesiano de três equações para mostrar analiticamente que o viés de endogeneidade é uma função da fração da variância das variáveis contabilizadas pelo choque monetário. Se os choques monetários explicam apenas uma pequena fração das variações da inflação e do hiato do produto, então o viés de endogeneidade é pequeno. Nós então usamos métodos de Monte Carlo para mostrar que este resultado sobrevive em modelos econômicos mais complexos. No segundo artigo nós estimamos um modelo dinâmico estocástico de equilíbrio geral para avaliar os efeitos de forward guidance em um ambiente em que o prêmio de risco varia no tempo. Nós avaliamos os efeitos de forward guidance sobre a curva de juros e documentamos como choques de news impactam as variáveis macroeconômicas. Os resultados mostram que forward guidance tem impacto limitado na macroeconomia. Além disso, nossos resultados sugerem que o forward guidance puzzle não pode ser eliminado mesmo em um ambiente no qual forward guidance tem papel limitado nas taxas de juros mais longas. O terceiro artigo explora informações das variações dos juros para identificar choques monetários de news em um modelo macro-financeiro dinâmico. Nós permitimos variação no prêmio de risco e correlação entre os choques de news em um modelo restrito à taxa nominal de juros igual a zero. Apresentamos evidências de que o uso de métodos de máxima verossimilhança, combinado com modelos dinâmicos, não é suficiente para identificar os choques de news. Esta falha está associada com a ausência de mecanismos mais sofisticados para lidar com os movimentos da curva de juros durante o período recente de recessão econômica. / [en] This thesis consists of three essays on monetary policy. The first investigates the endogeneity problem related to monetary policy rules estimation. Ordinary Least Square estimator generates biased and inconsistent estimates due to endogeneity. Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) has been used on the pretext of eliminating the bias. We show analytically in the 3-equation New Keynesian model that the asymptotic bias is a function of the fraction of the variance of variables accounted for by monetary policy shocks. Since the monetary policy shocks explain only a small fraction of inflation and the output gap, hence, the endogeneity bias is small. We use Monte Carlo methods to show that this result survives in larger DSGE models. In the second article we estimate a medium-scale DSGE model to assess the effects of forward guidance in a framework with endogenous time-varying price of risk. We investigate how the forward guidance impact the term structure of interest rates, and document how different monetary policy news can impact macroeconomic variables. We find that forward guidance, through isolated news shocks, has limited impact on long term rates. Also, anticipated and surprise shocks have similar effects on bond yields as the economy is not restricted by the ZLB. Further, our results suggest that the forward guidance puzzle cannot be eliminated even within a framework in which forward guidance has limited impact on long term rates. The third essay exploits information from changes in yield curve to identify monetary news shocks in a macro-financial DSGE model. We allow a timevarying term premium and zero lower bound (ZLB) constraints. Although the DSGE econometric literature has argued in favor of the likelihood-based methods to identify and estimate the anticipated components of exogenous innovations, we show evidence that this approach, in combination with a standard New Keynesian DSGE model, does not provide a satisfactory estimation of the recent course of forward guidance shocks. This failure is associated with the absence of a richer mechanism to deal with the yield curve in the the recent recession.

Makroekonomické súvislosti Taylorovho pravidla / Taylor Rule and Its Macroeconomics Relations

Mičúch, Marek January 2004 (has links)
Despite considerable research on the monetary policy rules, little is known about internal relation between policy rules targets. Research approach frequently consists in estimating parameters or identifying variables to make the rule operate accurately. The overall image that emerges from the literature is that there is no contradiction in attaining the targets once set properly. Dissertation switches attention to mutual feasibility of incorporated targets. To contribute to this strikingly overlooked fact hypothesis is tested. Analyzed are variances of inflation and output representing policy rule targets. Time regression processed throughout OLS technique, gap analysis and calculation of variances are applied as principal analytical tools. Examined are data for 14 countries. Countries are divided into two groups according to size of their economy: small economies (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Hungary, Ireland, The Nederlands and Slovak Republic); large economies (Euro zone, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and USA). Results of the analysis show that once monetary authority follows policy rule with multiple targets it faces restriction. Rather than achieving both targets at one time it must respect trade off between them. According to data for selected countries hypothesis is accepted. Variances of output consistently proved to be higher than variances of inflation. Whence it follows that authority need to solve constrained optimization problem. It needs to pick out combination of differently large variances contrary to wining with all reaching low levels.

Teoretické a praktické aspekty zavedení fixního směnného kurzu venezuelského bolívaru v letech 2003-2010 / Theoretical And Practical Aspects Of The Fixed Exchange Rate Regime Applied on Venezuelan Bolivar Between 2003 And 2010

Hőnigová, Nina January 2010 (has links)
The Master's thesis analyses the macroeconomic aspects of the exchange rate policy of the administration of president Hugo Chávez Frías in Venezuela in 2003 - 2010. The author focuses first on the comparison of different exchange rate regimes and their compatibility with the commodity depended economies. A special attention is paid to the concept of Peg to Export Price regime (PEP), also called oil standard, of Jeffrey Frankel and its suitability for contemporary Venezuela. The goal of the thesis is to stress that even though the election of a correct exchange rate regime is of great importance for an exporting economy, the success can be achieved only when combining it with an appropriate monetary and fiscal policy. Without an adequate economic policy the regime alone can not provide stability and moderate high inflation.
