The Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing (QE) program has been accompanied by a flow of funds into emerging-market economies (EMEs) in search of higher returns.2014-11-19T11:39:54+00:00enThe Effect of the Federal Reserve’s Tapering Announcements on Emerging Markets2014-11-19International financial marketsInternational topicsMonetary policy transmissionWorking Paper 2014-50https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/wp2014-50.pdfThe Effect of the Federal Reserve’s Tapering Announcements on Emerging MarketsVikram RaiLena SuchanekNovember 2014CC3C33EE5E58FF3F32GG1G14Recent Developments in Experimental Macroeconomics

This article describes experimental economics, in general, and new developments in experimental macroeconomics, in particular. The approach has a clear niche in providing evidence on economic phenomena that cannot be observed directly or that are difficult to measure. Experimental work conducted by Bank of Canada economists has shed light on a number of issues important to monetary policy, such as the relative efficacy between price-level and inflation targeting, and the nature of inflation expectations formation.2014-11-13T08:37:15+00:00enRecent Developments in Experimental Macroeconomics2014-11-13Should Forward Guidance Be Backward-Looking?

When constrained by the zero lower bound, some central banks have communicated a threshold that must be met before short-term interest rates would be permitted to rise. Simulation results for Canada show that forward guidance that is conditional on achieving a price-level threshold can theoretically raise demand and inflation expectations by significantly more than unemployment thresholds. This superior performance is attributable to the fact that the price-level threshold depends on past inflation outcomes. In practice, however, history-dependent thresholds such as this might be more challenging for central banks to communicate.2014-11-13T08:36:57+00:00enShould Forward Guidance Be Backward-Looking?2014-11-13Spillover Effects of Quantitative Easing on Emerging-Market Economies

While quantitative easing (QE) in the United States likely increased capital flows to emerging-market economies (EMEs), putting upward pressure on asset prices and exchange rates, diverging fundamentals between advanced economies and EMEs were also important drivers. Evidence suggests that the benefits of QE to EMEs, in higher global demand and increased confidence, appear to outweigh the costs. When advanced economies begin to normalize monetary policy, the best defence for EMEs against any potential instability is likely to be further strengthening of their macroeconomic and financial policy frameworks.2014-11-13T08:36:36+00:00enSpillover Effects of Quantitative Easing on Emerging-Market Economies2014-11-13Firm Strategy, Competitiveness and Productivity: The Case for Canada
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/boc-review-autumn14-rennison.pdf
At a time when the Bank is expecting a rotation of demand toward exports and investment, and transformative global trends are placing increasing emphasis on innovation, technology and organizational learning, an understanding of the competitiveness strategies of Canadian firms and the factors affecting them has become particularly relevant. This article summarizes findings from a Bank of Canada survey of 151 firms designed to extract signals on elements of firm strategy and organizational capital in order to help inform the macroeconomic outlook.2014-11-13T08:36:19+00:00enFirm Strategy, Competitiveness and Productivity: The Case for Canada2014-11-13Credit Market Frictions and Sudden Stops

Financial crises in emerging economies in the 1980s and 1990s often entailed abrupt declines in foreign capital inflows, improvements in trade balance, and large declines in output and total factor productivity (TFP).2014-11-12T12:26:54+00:00enCredit Market Frictions and Sudden Stops2014-11-12Business fluctuations and cyclesCredit and credit aggregatesFinancial marketsInternational topicsWorking Paper 2014-49https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/wp2014-49.pdfCredit Market Frictions and Sudden StopsYuko ImuraNovember 2014EE2E22E3E32FF4F41GG0G01
