t he objective of this study is using the markov switching vector autoregressive method and regime dependent impulse response functions to measure the pass-through of world food prices to consumer price index in iran from 1990 to 2013. with respect to information criteria and the log-likelihood ratio statistic, msia(2)-var(1) model has a better fit to data than other models. the magnitude of th...

This paper aims to investigate the role of each aggregate spending component in the monetary policy transmission in Indonesia. It assesses the relative strength of the role of each spending component in the monetary policy transmission. In so doing, this study employs the contribution analysis, which is calculated based on the cumulative impulse response of each component of GDP to a monetary p...

The responsiveness of house prices to monetary policy shocks depends on the nature shock—expansionary versus contractionary—and local housing supply elasticities. These findings are established using a panel 263 US metropolitan areas. Expansionary have larger impact in supply-inelastic Contractionary orthogonal In supply-elastic areas, contractionary greater than expansionary do. opposite holds...

England has very volatile house prices. Using survey data spanning multiple house-price cycles over nearly forty years, we document the association between house prices and homeownership at age thirty. We then use synthetic cohort methods to assess whether differences in early ownership rates persist in later life. We find that ownership rates at age thirty have varied substantially, with a sig...

We examine the effect of house price appreciation on bank loan portfolios during the 1996—2006 period. While most previous research in this area has concentrated on loan demand effects, we evaluate how house prices affect a bank’s credit supply. Controlling for possible simultaneity between house prices and bank loan portfolio growth, we find that banks affected by greater house price appreciat...

Experiences reveal that the monitoring costs of the foreclosure crisis may be nontrivial, and smaller governments may have more success at addressing potential negative externalities. One highly localized form of government is a homeowners association (HOA). HOAs could be well-suited for triaging foreclosures, as they may detect delinquencies and looming defaults through direct observation or m...

This paper analyses the role barriers to trade in the form of high transaction costs have on market participation and supply response in rural food markets in developing countries. We present an empirical application on a sample of households in the Tanzanian region of Kagera. Exploiting the availability of a long term panel dataset to develop an error components switching regression model we c...
