Assessing the Transmission of Monetary Policy Shocks Using Dynamic Factor Models
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper extends the current literature which questions the stability of the monetary transmission mechanism, by using a Dynamic Factor Model with timevarying parameters, which allows fast and efficient inference based on hundreds of explanatory variables. Different specifications are compared where the factor loadings, VAR coefficients and error covariances may change gradually in every period or be subject to small breaks. The model is applied to 157 post-World War II U.S. quarterly macroeconomic variables. The most notable changes were in the responses of real activity measures, prices and monetary aggregates, while other key indicators of the economy remained relatively unaffected.
