Our analysis reveals three key findings. First, while both policies have successfully reduced emissions, the economic costs of the European carbon market are larger than for national carbon taxes. Second, we explore four factors that explain this difference: fiscal policy and revenue recycling, pass-through and sectoral coverage, spillovers and leakage, and monetary policy. Our findings point to important differences in pass-through and revenue use that help reconcile the differential effects between the two policies. Third, we document substantial regional heterogeneity in the impacts of the carbon market, which depend on the share of freely allocated emission permits and the degree of market concentration in the power sector.</p>","PeriodicalId":47177,"journal":{"name":"Imf Economic Review","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141782530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is, however, often assumed that delegating such powers to independent central banks will limit the interference of short-term political considerations and hence strengthen macroprudential capacity. This paper tests this hypothesis leveraging a newly computed index of macroprudential institutional arrangements for 58 countries in the post-global financial crisis period and finds contrasting results: when in charge, independent central banks are less likely than Ministries of Finance to tighten macroprudential policy in the expansion phase of the credit cycle. This is especially the case for more visible and unpopular tools such as loan-to-value caps compared to less visible measures such as capital requirements. However, the mere existence of financial stability committees coordinating ministries and central bank positions appears to condition macroprudential regulators’ policy reactions. The paper concludes by discussing different explanations for such institutional behavior to be tested in future work.</p>","PeriodicalId":47177,"journal":{"name":"Imf Economic Review","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141742486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We estimate a factor-augmented vector autoregression model, where a wide range of shocks, including global demand, supply, oil price, and interest rate shocks, are identified through narrative sign restrictions motivated by the predictions of a simple dynamic general equilibrium model. We report three main results. First, oil price shocks followed by global demand shocks explained the lion’s share of variation in global inflation. Second, the contribution of global demand and oil price shocks increased over time, from 56 percent during 1970–1985 to 65 percent during 2001–2022, whereas the importance of global supply shocks declined. Since the pandemic, global demand and oil price shocks have accounted for most of the variation in global inflation. Finally, oil price shocks played a much smaller role in global core CPI inflation variation, for which global supply shocks were the main source of variation. These results are robust to various sensitivity exercises, including alternative definitions of global variables, different samples of countries, and additional narrative restrictions.</p>","PeriodicalId":47177,"journal":{"name":"Imf Economic Review","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141614491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Focusing on a near-autarky behavior of the economy, we show analytically that all standard macro economic shocks—including productivity, monetary, government spending, and markup shocks—are inconsistent with the broad properties of the macro exchange rate disconnect. News shocks about future macro economic fundamentals can generate plausible exchange rate properties. However, they show up prominently in contemporaneous asset prices, which violates the finance exchange rate disconnect. International shocks to trade costs, terms of trade and import demand, while potentially consistent with disconnect, do not robustly generate the empirical Backus–Smith, UIP and terms-of-trade properties. In contrast, the observed exchange rate behavior is consistent with risk-sharing (financial) shocks that arise from shifts in demand of foreign investors for home-currency assets, or vice versa.\u0000</p>","PeriodicalId":47177,"journal":{"name":"Imf Economic Review","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141505605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theory emphasizes the joint determination of countries’ portfolio choices and the currency used for financing international trade, and introduces the Chinese yuan as a potential competitor to the dollar. We find that even a substantial increase in trade tariffs and protectionism would not change the dollar’s dominant role. However, policies directly supporting the yuan’s international use could end the dollar’s dominance if implemented for more than a decade.
