This effect is more pronounced in firms with limited market power, firms operating in durable goods industries, firms located in cities with weak legal environments, and firms with less exposure to Confucian culture. Additionally, we observe that the heightened tunneling accompanied by customer concentration leads to abnormal executive compensation, exacerbated financial distress, and ultimately, a reduction in firm value.

Employing local projection methods, we find that the influence of monetary shocks depends on each country’s fiscal position. Specifically, while high debt amplifies monetary policy’s contractionary effect on output, the “Ricardian\" nature of fiscal policy plays a pivotal role in price responses. Notably, in the high-debt and low-sustainability regime, we observe “fiscal inflation\" where monetary tightening raises prices instead of containing them. Consistent with the Fiscal Theory of Price Level, this occurs when agents anticipate insufficient fiscal adjustments to offset the debt burden, creating inflationary pressures. Our study introduces a novel approach by integrating Bohn’s fiscal reaction function within a time-varying framework and analyzing interactions between fiscal stances and monetary shocks in the Euro Area. These findings carry significant policy implications, suggesting monetary authorities should consider fiscal conditions when implementing policy measures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Money and Finance","volume":"156 ","pages":"Article 103341"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143899730","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}

Our findings highlight several transmission channels through which climate risks affect the economy: the business cycle channel, the precautionary savings channel, the inflation channel, and the banking/credit channel. Moreover, while we document the existence of heterogeneous responses to our measures of physical and transition risks, we find that the tone of media coverage of climate risks matters beyond the frequency of published articles. These results remain robust to newspapers’ political slant and ruling political parties’ orientation. Finally, the impact of climate risks also depends on the stringency of environmental policies, with more lenient policies leading to a stronger sensitivity of our economic and financial variables to the media-related climate risk index.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Money and Finance","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 103340"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143859876","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}

While stablecoins like Tether (USDT) were designed to facilitate stable digital transactions and mitigate volatility in crypto portfolios, instances of depegging, where the stablecoin’s value deviates from its target, have introduced new risks. Using high-frequency 5-min price data across 70 non-stable crypto-assets, we show that stablecoin depegging events significantly increase the likelihood of abrupt price jumps in non-stable crypto-assets. Within the first 5 min following a depegging event, the probability of price jumps in the BTC/USD pair increases nearly fivefold compared to normal conditions under our most conservative estimates, while the probability of cojumps rises by a factor of 6.5. Our results also reveal that these jumps tend to be of greater magnitude than those typically observed.
