In the spirit of Friedman and Schwartz, I extract the cyclical components of money, output, and prices and find that money generally leads the latter two variables. Next, I test for Granger causality from monetary aggregates to several measures of real activity. Then, I estimate a more comprehensive VAR consisting of several real and nominal variables. Consistent with previous research, Divisia aggregates outperform their simple-sum counterparts. While the narrower aggregates exhibit a close relationship with output and prices in the earlier years of the sample, the broader aggregates outperform the narrow aggregates over the entire period. This reflects an evolution of the monetary system in which assets included in the broad aggregates have become increasingly important. Finally, I use counterfactual forecasts to find that broad Divisia money played an important role in explaining the severity of the Great Recession and the high inflation of 2021 and 2022.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47962,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141393032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Represented by the spread between long-and short-term ERPs, the term structure strongly varies over time exhibiting a dominant downward sloping. Both expected variances and risk prices are highly at play in determining the ERPs term structure, the effects of restraints on borrowing and of international stock market contagion completing the explanation.

The results suggest that systemic risk has increased significantly after the pandemic by employing two very well-known systemic risk measures, the Delta conditional value-at-risk (ΔCoVaR) and the marginal expected shortfall (MES), but heterogeneously across GCC nations. Using the Granger-Causality network method, the results reveal a remarkable rise in the percentage and number of significant connectedness between banks for Kuwait and KSA during the pandemic. Oman and Qatar experienced an unnoticeable increase in bank return connectedness. Furthermore, the study identifies the bank characteristics that provide shelter from the systemic shocks of the pandemic. The study findings indicate that income diversification is the most crucial variable for enhancing bank stability amid the pandemic.

In the first subsample (2018–2020), a period of relative calm in the Bitcoin market, the relationship is negative, which is in line with that found in the literature. However, in the second subsample (2021–2022), a period of major turmoil in the Bitcoin market, the relationship is positive, which is consistent with that found in previous papers on the relationship between conditional market skewness and future index returns during crisis periods. Based on these results, a dynamic buy and sell strategy of buying or selling Bitcoin based on the estimated conditional skewness is proposed.

First, R&amp;D intensities increase the sensitivity of cash to stock price. This effect is more pronounced among SS, complementing researching showing stock market reacts more strongly to innovation by SS.

Is the choice of the cooperative institution model an \"ignorant solution\" or an \"optimal solution\" in China?

Based on the Honey Badger Algorithm, real options approach and expected loss pricing model, our work verifies the significant advantages of the cooperative institution model over the independent institution model in China.
