https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/09/staff-working-paper-2018-50/
We document a strong asymmetry in the evolution of federal funds rate expectations and map this observed asymmetry into measures of monetary policy uncertainty. We show that periods of monetary policy tightening and easing are distinctly related to downside (policy rate is higher than expected) and upside (policy rate is lower than expected) uncertainty.2018-09-27T08:32:17+00:00enMonetary Policy Uncertainty: A Tale of Two Tails2018-09-27Business fluctuations and cyclesEconometric and statistical methodsMonetary policy and uncertaintyMonetary policy communicationsMonetary policy transmissionStaff Working Paper 2018-50https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/swp2018-50.pdfMonetary Policy Uncertainty: A Tale of Two TailsTatjana DahlhausTatevik SekhposyanSeptember 2018CC1C18C3C32EE0E02E4E43E5E52Financial Development Beyond the Formal Financial Market

A Duration Study of Canadian Retail Transaction Payment Times
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/09/staff-working-paper-2018-46/
Using an exclusive data set of payment times for retail transactions made in Canada, I show that cash is the most time-efficient method of payment (MOP) when compared with payments by debit and credit cards. I model payment efficiency using Cox proportional hazard models, accounting for consumer choice of MOP.2018-09-07T15:08:12+00:00enHow Long Does It Take You to Pay?

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/09/staff-working-paper-2018-44/

The proposed measure of price selection is based on the observed comovement between inflation and the average level from which adjusting prices depart.2018-09-07T13:54:30+00:00enPrice Selection2018-09-07Business fluctuations and cyclesInflation and pricesMonetary policy transmissionStaff Working Paper 2018-44https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/swp2018-44.pdfPrice SelectionCarlos CarvalhoOleksiy KryvtsovSeptember 2018EE3E31E5E51
