How does banks’ interest-rate risk exposure shape monetary policy transmission? This new paper shows that differences between fixed- and variable-rate banking systems can be amplified by banks' solvency risk. ➡️ https://t.co/R0Kjoyhz6n

Slides for a new paper are now on my site (and below).
"Shockingly simple monetary shocks".
Joint work with Mu-Chun Wang.

Abstract: We identify monetary policy shocks by imposing that they produce a positive, monotonically declining path for nominal rates. We impose no restrictions on other variables, nor do we rely on external information. Nonetheless, this produces IRFs closely resembling those produced using high frequency instruments, with no price puzzle. We justify these restrictions by showing both that they are satisfied in a benchmark medium-scale DSGE model, and by showing that they are satisfied under optimal policy in simple models. Our shocks produce a large, immediate drop in the price level. Thus, the rapid response of prices to monetary shocks observed in recent studies is not an artefact of high frequency identification.

Global evidence from 33,262 mining sites shows that mineral price booms increase deforestation in nearby areas, beyond immediate mine sites. Investor origin shapes the size of these effects.

[Central Bank of Rwanda @CentralBankRw]

Chief Economist @thierrykalisa_ of the National Bank of Rwanda on how monetary policy evolves to keep inflation stable and maintain price stability in Rwanda.

"Monetary policy in #Rwanda is shaped by both global shocks, such as commodity price changes and external financial conditions, and domestic factors, including weather related disruptions and fluctuations in agricultural supply. Under the inflation targeting framework, the National Bank of Rwanda tailors its response to the nature and persistence of these shocks.

While temporary pressures may require limited intervention, more persistent inflationary risks call for timely and measured action to prevent broader spillovers and maintain price stability."
