Spillovers from US Monetary Policy?

How Does U.S. MP Affect the Rest of the World?I Exchange Rate ChannelI Demand ChannelI Financial Channels – ‘Risk Taking’ Channel, ‘Credit’ Channel

Implications:I Dilemma vs Trilemma / Monetary SovereigntyI Global Financial CycleI Policy spillovers / Policy Coordinations / Currencies Wars

Important question ... yet limited empirical literature!

Challenges to Measuring US MP Global SpilloversBernanke, Mundell-Fleming Lecture (2015)

1. Policy actions are a signal about US and global fundamentals

=⇒ High Frequency Identification for conventional MP shocks ...=⇒ ... robust to signalling effects of MP actions

2. Large heterogeneity across countries both in terms of cyclical position,financial markets conditions and ‘structural features’

=⇒ Rich monthly dataset of 15 ADV and 15 EME=⇒ Efficient big data techniques with bilateral Large BVARs=⇒ Global macro and financial aggregates

3. Need of high frequency data on leverage, risk appetite, capital flows, ...

=⇒ Dataset of financial conditions indexes (CBC Global Liquidity dataset) CBC Data

4. Potential misspecifications, nonlinearities and asymmetries=⇒ Bayesian Local Projections and direct study of asymmetries
