https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/fsr-december2015-cateau.pdf
Over the past decade, an increasing proportion of households in Canada have become highly indebted relative to their income. These highly indebted households now hold one-fifth of total Canadian household debt.Simulations suggest that this greater degree of household indebtedness could exacerbate the impact of shocks to income and interest rates relative to the pre-crisis period. However, an assessment of the vulnerability of the Canadian financial system should, among other factors, account for the ability of Canadian financial institutions to withstand losses from the household sector.2015-12-15T11:00:45+00:00enIndebted Households and Potential Vulnerabilities for the Canadian Financial System: A Microdata Analysis2015-12-15Prudent Preparation: The Evolution of Unconventional Monetary Policies

We estimate the link between exchange rate fluctuations and the labour input of Canadian manufacturing industries. The analysis is based on a dynamic model of labour demand, and the econometric strategy employs a panel two-step approach for cointegrating regressions.2015-12-03T14:05:51+00:00enExchange Rate Fluctuations and Labour Market Adjustments in Canadian Manufacturing Industries2015-12-03Econometric and statistical methodsExchange rate regimesExchange ratesLabour marketsRecent economic and financial developmentsStaff Working Paper 2015-45https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/wp2015-45.pdfExchange Rate Fluctuations and Labour Market Adjustments in Canadian Manufacturing IndustriesGabriel BruneauKevin MoranDecember 2015EE2E24FF1F14F16F3F31F4F41JJ2J23Speculators, Prices and Market Volatility

We analyze data from 2005 through 2009 that uniquely identify categories of traders to assess how speculators such as hedge funds and swap dealers relate to volatility and price changes. Examining various subperiods where price trends are strong, we find little evidence that speculators destabilize financial markets.2015-11-20T05:00:12+00:00enSpeculators, Prices and Market Volatility2015-11-20International topicsRecent economic and financial developmentsStaff Working Paper 2015-42https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/wp2015-42.pdfSpeculators, Prices and Market VolatilityCelso BrunettiBahattin BuyuksahinJeffrey H.

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/boc-review-autumn15-reza.pdf
This article reviews and examines some of the main explanations for the slow growth that many advanced economies continue to experience seven years after the 2007–09 global financial crisis. Does this muted recovery reflect just a prolonged cycle in the aftermath of a financial crisis? Is it due to a structural inadequacy of demand leading to a long-lasting liquidity trap? Or is it largely supply side in nature, reflecting demographic and technological factors?2015-11-19T10:50:27+00:00enIs Slower Growth the New Normal in Advanced Economies?2015-11-19Recent Enhancements to the Management of Canada’s Foreign Exchange Reserves

As the size and complexity of the foreign exchange reserves have grown over the years, enhancements to the management framework needed to keep pace. This is a common theme for most reserve managers around the world. In Canada, the enhancements focused on governance, portfolio management, risk measurement and risk management. This article briefly describes these enhancements, why they were implemented and some of the lessons learned along the way.2015-11-19T10:30:39+00:00enRecent Enhancements to the Management of Canada’s Foreign Exchange Reserves2015-11-19Release of the Monetary Policy Report
