Macroeconomic Effects of Quantitative Easing Using Mid-sized Bayesian Vector Autoregressions
(2021-10)The paper estimates macroeconomic effects and decomposes transmission channels of quantitative easing in the United States using 15-variable Bayesian vector autoregressive model with stochastic search variable selection ... -
Mapping the Dimensions of Social Capital
(2017-03)We provide a novel survey dataset of a representative sample of the Polish population (n = 1000), allowing for a detailed quantification of Bourdieu's (1986) definition of social capital as the aggregate of resources ... -
Markov distributional equilibrium dynamics in games with complementarities and no aggregate risk
(2020-07)We present a new approach for studying equilibrium dynamics in a class of stochastic games with a continuum of players with private types and strategic complementarities. We introduce a suitable equilibrium concept, called ... -
Markovian and multi-curve friendly parametrisation of HJM model used in valuation adjustment of interest rate derivatives
(2018-06)We consider feasible Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework specifications that are easily implementable in XVA engines when pricing linear and non-linear interest rate derivatives in multicurve environment. Our particular focus ... -
Measuring the uncertainty of shadow economy estimates using Bayesian and frequentist model averaging
(2020-03)Economic literature provides little discussion on the uncertainty around the macroeconometric shadow economy estimates. We fill this gap by deriving the measurement error of the shadow economy estimates stemming from the ... -
Monetary policy and COVID-19
(2021-07)We study the macroeconomic effects of the COVID-19 epidemic in a quantitative dynamic general equilibrium setup with nominal rigidities. We evaluate various containment policies and show that they allow to dramatically ... -
Multiple unemployment spells duration in Poland
(2016-08)I study multiple unemployment spells. I refer to Poland, as this country experiences high incidence of the long-term unemployment and long mean incomplete unemployment duration. I estimate conditional risk set model for ... -
Natural Rate of Interest in a Small Open Economy with Application to CEE Countries
(2023-09)This paper extends the Laubach-Williams (2003) framework, which is widely used to estimate the natural rate of interest, to make it more suitable for studying small open economies. The model is augmented with consumer ... -
The non-linear nature of country risk and its implications for DSGE models
(2018-05)Country risk premia can substantially affect macroeconomic dynamics. We concentrate on one of their most important determinants - a country’s net foreign asset position and - in contrast to the existing research - investigate ... -
On complementary symmetry and reference dependence
(2020-12)This paper reevaluates the complementary symmetry hypothesis and the supporting experimental evidence. Originally the hypothesis was stated for binary risky prospects. We generalize the hypothesis to arbitrary state-contingent ... -
On journal rankings and researchers' abilities
(2023-09)Over the last few years, ranking lists of academic journals have become one of the key indicators for evaluating individual researchers, departments and universities. How to optimally design such rankings? What can we learn ... -
On the limits of macroprudential policy
(2016-02)This paper studies how macroprudential policy tools can complement the interest rate-based monetary policy in achieving a selection of dual stabilization objectives. We show analytically in a canonical New Keynesian model ... -
On the Optimal Labor Income Share
(2018-02)Labor's share of income has attracted interest in recent years reflecting its apparent decline. These falls, witnessed across many countries, are usually deemed undesirable. Any such assertion, however, begs the question ... -
On the sources of economic growth, structural consistency of agent-based models and mental-accounting consumer behaviour
(2022-03-18)An assessment of the sources of growth in agent- and general equilibrium-based models is presented, along a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of existing approaches to growth modelling. The empirical and theoretical ... -
On the trade-offs in money market benchmarks' stabilisation
(2018-09)We propose a theoretical stochastic set-up for a panel of contributors to a volume weighted raw money market index, which is the main contribution of this research. 'The hypothetical problems with: changes in the panel's ... -
On uniqueness of time-consistent Markov policies for quasi-hyperbolic consumers under uncertainty
(2016-11)We give a set of sufficient conditions for uniqueness of a time-consistent Markov stationary consumption policy for a quasi-hyperbolic household under uncertainty. To the best of our knowledge, this uniqueness result is ... -
One model or many? Exchange rates determinants and their predictive capabilities
(2020-07)In this paper the Dynamic Bayesian Model Averaging (DMA) algorithm is used to establish the key determinants of the nominal exchange rates of 5 currencies: CAD, EUR, GBP, CHF and JPY against the US dollar. My results ... -
Quantitative Easing During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Country Study
(2023-06)This paper estimates the financial market and macroeconomic effects of central bank asset purchases (quantitative easing, QE) in 16 economies which have launched asset purchases for the first time in response to the COVID-19 ... -
Quantitative Easing in the US and Financial Cycles in Emerging Markets
(2021-03)Large international capital movements tend to be associated with strong fluctuations in asset prices and credit, contributing to domestic financial cycles and posing challenges for stabilization policies, especially in ... -
R&D Capital : An Engine of Growth
(2022-05-10)Research and development (R&D) requires not only skilled research work, but also dedicated machinery and equipment: R&D capital. In this paper I demonstrate that R&D, producing labor-augmenting ideas, and the accumulation ...
