Monetary Policy Strategies in Advanced and Emerging EconomiesOpen Economies Review - - Trang 1-23 - 2024
Yu Chen, Apostolos Serletis
We investigate the time-series properties of the price level in advanced and emerging economies. We are motivated by the debate of whether central banks should accommodate past inflation shock under inflation targeting or reverse past inflation shock as with price-level targeting or average inflation targeting. We use time series data for G7 and E7 countries and examine the integration properties ...... hiện toàn bộ

Central Bank Autonomy, the Exchange Rate Constraint and Inflation: The Case of Italy, 1970–1992Open Economies Review - Tập 8 - Trang 31-49 - 1997
Giuseppe Tullio, Marcio Ronci
This paper analyzes the determinants of inflation in Italy over the period 1970–1992. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of central bank independence in influencing monetary growth, and on the role of monetary growth and of the Exchange rate Mechanism (ERM) in affecting inflation. In the 1970s and early 1980s, when the Bank of Italy lacked independence and the ERM was still not credible, mo...... hiện toàn bộ
The global economic consequences of the Uruguay RoundOpen Economies Review - Tập 6 - Trang 111-129 - 1995
Warwick J. Mckibbin, Dominick Salvatore
This paper examines the provisions of the recently completed Uruguay Round and evaluates the qualitative and quantitative effects of the Round on major countries and regions of the world. The implications of the Uruguay Round are measured using the G-cubed multicountry model. This model captures macroeconomic and sectoral linkages within the global economy. This study differs from other studies in...... hiện toàn bộ
Crime, Terror and Corruption and Their Effect on Private Investment in IsraelOpen Economies Review - Tập 22 - Trang 635-648 - 2009
Yaron Zelekha, Ohad Bar-Efrat
There are a number of mechanisms through which illegal activity can affect economic activity. Until now, most empirical research that has attempted to quantify the negative effects of illegal activity on economic performance has used international cross-section comparisons. The present study is apparently the first attempt in the literature to examine directly the effects of crime and corruption (...... hiện toàn bộ
The Aftermath of Anti-Dumping: Are Temporary Trade Barriers Really Temporary?Open Economies Review - Tập 33 - Trang 677-704 - 2021
Magdalene Silberberger, Anja Slany, Christian Soegaard, Frederik Stender
A consistent finding in the literature is that anti-dumping (AD) acts as a significant barrier to bilateral trade, in particular, during the time such measures are in force. Adding to a relatively scarce empirical literature, however, we identify adverse impacts of AD which survive well beyond its revocation. More specifically, while we cannot rule out a slight post-revocation recovery, we find em...... hiện toàn bộ
Implications of Exchange Rate Pass-Through and Nontradable Goods for International Policy CooperationOpen Economies Review - Tập 25 - Trang 771-795 - 2014
Masanori Kashiwagi
This paper investigates the welfare consequences of international policy cooperation by simultaneously introducing the following three elements in a standard two-country general equilibrium model: (i) general degrees of exchange rate pass-through, (ii) nontradable goods and their sector-specific productivity shocks, and (iii) general weights on goods in Cobb–Douglas consumption indices. There are ...... hiện toàn bộ
Optimal Contracts for Central Bankers: Inflation versus Money Supply and Exchange Rate TargetsOpen Economies Review - Tập 8 - Trang 5-29 - 1997
Ugo Panizza
Some recent papers have shown how a simple contract can eliminate the inflationary bias of discretionary monetary policy. This paper shows that if the central banker is risk averse, a contract in terms of money is superior to one in terms of inflation. The paper also shows that, if the central banker cares about his reappointment, an exchange rate target might always leads to the implementation of...... hiện toàn bộ
Econometric Aspects of Convergence: A SurveyOpen Economies Review - - Trang 1-21 - 2024
Ron P. Smith
The literature on convergence in per-capita income across countries has not converged on a common concept of convergence. It may be within a country towards its own steady state or between countries. Between country convergence may be absolute convergence to the same steady state; conditional convergence to country specific steady states, functions of observed variables; or club convergence to dif...... hiện toàn bộ
