- PublicationAccès libreMulti-dimensional monetary policy shocks based on heteroscedasticityWe propose a two-step approach to estimate multi-dimensional monetary policy shocks and their causal effects requiring only daily financial market data and policy events. First, we combine a heteroscedasticity-based identification scheme with recursive zero restrictions along the term structure of interest rates to disentangle multi-dimensional monetary policy shocks and derive an instrumental variables estimator to estimate dynamic causal effects. Second, we propose to use the Kalman filter to compute the linear minimum mean-square-error prediction of the unobserved monetary policy shocks. We apply the approach to examine the causal effects of US monetary policy on the exchange rate. The heteroscedasticity-based monetary policy shocks display a relevant correlation with existing high-frequency surprises. In addition, their dynamic causal effects on the exchange rate are similar. This suggests the approach is a valid alternative if high-frequency identification schemes are not applicable.
- PublicationAccès libreAI in economic research: A guide for students and instructorsThis report documents the use and misuse of generative artificial intelligence in academic economic research and provides guidelines for university students and instructors. It primarily addresses students and instructors in a master’s program in economics; however, the use cases and guidelines may be useful in other fields and academic research in general.
- PublicationAccès libreA daily fever curve for the Swiss economy(2020-7-9)
; Because macroeconomic data is published with a substantial delay, assessing the health of the economy during the rapidly evolving COVID-19 crisis is challenging. We develop a fever curve for the Swiss economy using publicly available daily financial market and news data. The indicator can be computed with a delay of 1 day. Moreover, it is highly correlated with macroeconomic data and survey indicators of Swiss economic activity. Therefore, it provides timely and reliable warning signals if the health of the economy takes a turn for the worse. - PublicationAccès libreA daily fever curve for the Swiss economy(Neuchâtel Université de Neuchâtel Institut de recherches économiques, 2020)
