https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2014/06/discussion-paper-2014-3/
In this paper, the authors develop a new tool to improve the short-term forecasting of real GDP growth in the euro area and Japan. This new tool, which uses unrestricted mixed-data sampling (U-MIDAS) regressions, allows an evaluation of the usefulness of a wide range of indicators in predicting short-term real GDP growth.2014-06-18T13:06:09+00:00enForecasting Short-Term Real GDP Growth in the Euro Area and Japan Using Unrestricted MIDAS Regressions2014-06-18Econometric and statistical methodsInternational topicsDiscussion Paper 2014-3https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/dp2014-3.pdfForecasting Short-Term Real GDP Growth in the Euro Area and Japan Using Unrestricted MIDAS RegressionsMaxime LeboeufLouis MorelJune 2014CC5C50C53EE3E37E4E47Consumer Attitudes and the Epidemiology of Inflation Expectations
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2014/06/working-paper-2014-28/
This paper studies the formation of consumers’ inflation expectations using micro-level data from the Michigan Survey. It shows that beyond the well-established socio-economic determinants of inflation expectations such as gender, income or education, other characteristics such as the households’ financial situation and their purchasing attitudes also matter.2014-06-18T11:51:15+00:00enConsumer Attitudes and the Epidemiology of Inflation Expectations2014-06-18Inflation and pricesWorking Paper 2014-28https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/wp2014-28.pdfConsumer Attitudes and the Epidemiology of Inflation ExpectationsMichael EhrmannDamjan PfajfarEmiliano SantoroJune 2014CC5C53DD8D84EE3E31Retail Payment Innovations and Cash Usage: Accounting for Attrition Using Refreshment Samples
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2014/06/working-paper-2014-27/
We exploit the panel dimension of the Canadian Financial Monitor (CFM) data to estimate the impact of retail payment innovations on cash usage. We estimate a semiparametric panel data model that accounts for unobserved heterogeneity and allows for general forms of non-random attrition.2014-06-18T11:50:48+00:00enRetail Payment Innovations and Cash Usage: Accounting for Attrition Using Refreshment Samples2014-06-18Bank notesDigital currencies and fintechEconometric and statistical methodsFinancial servicesWorking Paper 2014-27https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/wp2014-27.pdfRetail Payment Innovations and Cash Usage: Accounting for Attrition Using Refreshment SamplesHeng ChenMarie-Hélène FeltKim HuynhJune 2014CC3C35EE4E41Improving Overnight Loan Identification in Payments Systems

Information on the allocation and pricing of over-the-counter (OTC) markets is scarce. Furfine (1999) pioneered an algorithm that provides transaction-level data on the OTC interbank lending market.2014-06-18T11:43:53+00:00enImproving Overnight Loan Identification in Payments Systems2014-06-18Econometric and statistical methodsFinancial marketsInterest ratesPayment clearing and settlement systemsWorking Paper 2014-25https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/wp2014-25.pdfImproving Overnight Loan Identification in Payments SystemsMark RempelJune 2014CC3C38C5C53EE4E42E44GG1G10Understanding the Cash Demand Puzzle
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2014/06/working-paper-2014-22/
We develop a model to explain a puzzling trend in cash demand in recent years: the value of bank notes in circulation as a percentage of GDP has remained stable despite decreasing cash usage at points of sale owing to competition from alternative means of payment such as credit cards.2014-06-05T07:59:17+00:00enUnderstanding the Cash Demand Puzzle2014-06-05Bank notesCredit and credit aggregatesDigital currencies and fintechWorking Paper 2014-22https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/wp2014-22.pdfUnderstanding the Cash Demand PuzzleJanet Hua JiangEnchuan ShaoJune 2014EE4E41E5E51Monetary Policy Transmission during Financial Crises: An Empirical Analysis
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2014/06/working-paper-2014-21/
This paper studies the effects of a monetary policy expansion in the United States during times of high financial stress. The analysis is carried out by introducing a smooth transition factor model where the transition between states (“normal” and high financial stress) depends on a financial conditions index.2014-06-05T07:01:27+00:00enMonetary Policy Transmission during Financial Crises: An Empirical Analysis2014-06-05Econometric and statistical methodsFinancial marketsMonetary policy transmissionWorking Paper 2014-21https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/wp2014-21.pdfMonetary Policy Transmission during Financial Crises: An Empirical AnalysisTatjana DahlhausJune 2014CC1C11C3C32EE3E32E4E44GG0G01Consumer Cash Usage: A Cross-Country Comparison with Payment Diary Survey Data
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2014/06/working-paper-2014-20/
We measure consumers’ use of cash by harmonizing payment diary surveys from seven countries. The seven diary surveys were conducted in 2009 (Canada), 2010 (Australia), 2011 (Austria, France, Germany and the Netherlands), and 2012 (the United States).2014-06-05T07:00:44+00:00enConsumer Cash Usage: A Cross-Country Comparison with Payment Diary Survey Data2014-06-05Bank notesDigital currencies and fintechEconometric and statistical methodsFinancial servicesWorking Paper 2014-20 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/wp2014-20.pdfConsumer Cash Usage: A Cross-Country Comparison with Payment Diary Survey DataJohn BagnallDavid BounieKim HuynhAnneke KosseTobias SchmidtScott SchuhHelmut StixJune 2014DD1D12EE4E41E5E58
