Abstract

Target2 (T2) balances in the Eurozone are again in a divergent trend after the pandemic shock. The recent financial literature seems to have reached a consensus about the need to characterize such phenomena under specific monetary policy configurations variable in time. T2 balances can be decomposed by using the balance of payments (BoP) identities. Indeed, proving a strong causality link from data that have to fulfill an accounting identity can be challenging, since the closer the data are to an accounting identity, the less information on causal relation can be inferred from econometric techniques. Nevertheless we believe that useful information can be extracted from the analysis of accounting correspondences. In this perspective, both long-term and short-term BoP decompositions are performed for Italy and Germany under different regimes of monetary policies in the Euro Area.
确定目标2的长期决定因素:国际收支会计身份的优势和局限性
在大流行的冲击之后,欧元区的Target2 (T2)余额再次呈现分化趋势。最近的金融文献似乎已经达成了一个共识,即有必要在特定的货币政策配置随时间变化的情况下描述这种现象。T2余额可以通过使用国际收支(BoP)身份来分解。事实上,从必须满足会计身份的数据中证明强烈的因果关系联系可能具有挑战性,因为数据越接近会计身份,从计量经济学技术中推断出的因果关系信息就越少。尽管如此,我们认为可以从会计信函的分析中提取有用的信息。从这个角度来看,意大利和德国在欧元区不同的货币政策制度下进行了长期和短期的国际收支平衡分解。
