To what extent does a central bank digital currency (CBDC) compete with bank deposits? To answer this question, we develop and estimate a structural model where each household chooses which financial institution to deposit their digital money with.2024-02-08T09:27:59+00:00enCentral Bank Digital Currency and Banking Choices2024-02-08Central bank researchDigital currencies and fintechStaff Working Paper 2024-4https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/swp2024-4.pdfCentral Bank Digital Currency and Banking ChoicesJiaqi LiAndrew UsherYu ZhuFebruary 2024EE5E50E58The Role of International Financial Integration in Monetary Policy Transmission
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2024/02/staff-working-paper-2024-3/
We propose an open-economy New Keynesian model with financial integration that allows financial intermediaries to hold foreign long-term bonds. We study the implications of financial integration on monetary policy transmission. Among various aspects of financial integration, the bond duration plays a major role. These results hold for conventional and unconventional monetary policies.2024-02-06T14:47:16+00:00enThe Role of International Financial Integration in Monetary Policy Transmission2024-02-06Central bank researchInternational financial marketsMonetary policy transmissionStaff Working Paper 2024-3https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/swp2024-3.pdfThe Role of International Financial Integration in Monetary Policy TransmissionJing Cynthia WuYinxi XieJi ZhangFebruary 2024EE4E44E5E52FF3F36F4F42Flood risk and residential lending
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2024/01/flood-risk-and-residential-lending/
We present key findings of a recent study that evaluates the credit risk that flooding poses to the residential lending activities of Canadian banks and credit unions. Results show that such risk currently appears modest but could become larger with climate change.2024-01-15T15:00:26+00:00enFlood risk and residential lending2024-01-15Communicating Inflation Uncertainty and Household Expectations
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/staff-working-paper-2023-63/
We examine the value of direct communication to households about inflation and the uncertainty around inflation statistics. All types of information about inflation are effective at immediately managing inflation expectations, with information about outlooks being more effective and relevant than that about recent inflation and Bank targets.2023-12-29T10:57:58+00:00enCommunicating Inflation Uncertainty and Household Expectations2023-12-29Central bank researchCredibilityInflation and pricesInflation targetsMonetary policy and uncertaintyMonetary policy communicationsStaff Working Paper 2023-63https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/swp2023-63.pdfCommunicating Inflation Uncertainty and Household ExpectationsOlena KostyshynaLuba PetersenDecember 2023CC9C93DD8D84EE5E59E7Monetary Policy and Racial Inequality in Housing Markets: A Study of 140 US Metropolitan Areas
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/staff-working-paper-2023-62/
We find that minority households see greater declines in housing returns and entries into homeownership than White households after a tightening of monetary policy. Our findings emphasize the unintended consequences of monetary policy on racial inequality in the housing market.2023-12-28T13:37:09+00:00enMonetary Policy and Racial Inequality in Housing Markets: A Study of 140 US Metropolitan Areas2023-12-28Central bank researchHousingMonetary policyStaff Working Paper 2023-62https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/swp2023-62.pdfMonetary Policy and Racial Inequality in Housing Markets: A Study of 140 US Metropolitan AreasQi LiXu ZhangDecember 2023EE4E40E5E52RR0R00Climate-Related Flood Risk to Residential Lending Portfolios in Canada
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/staff-discussion-paper-2023-33/
We assess the potential financial risks of current and projected flooding caused by extreme weather events in Canada. We focus on the residential real estate secured lending (RESL) portfolios of Canadian financial institutions (FIs) because RESL portfolios are an important component of FIs’ balance sheets and because the assets used to secure such loans are immobile and susceptible to climate-related extreme weather events.2023-12-20T15:56:24+00:00enClimate-Related Flood Risk to Residential Lending Portfolios in Canada2023-12-20Central bank researchClimate changeCredit risk managementEconometric and statistical methodsFinancial institutionsFinancial stabilityStaff Discussion Paper 2023-33https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/sdp2023-33.pdfClimate-Related Flood Risk to Residential Lending Portfolios in CanadaCraig JohnstonGeneviève ValléeHossein HosseiniBrett LindsayMiguel MolicoMarie-Christine TremblayAidan WittsDecember 2023CC8C81GG2G21QQ5Q54Supporting the Transition to Net-Zero Emissions: The Evolving Role of Central Banks
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/staff-discussion-paper-2023-31/
While climate change was largely tackled by government policies in the past, central banks are increasingly grappling with the risks climate change poses. They are evaluating their operational policies to reflect these risks and the transition to a net-zero economy. This paper explores the trade-offs and considerations central banks face.2023-12-18T14:46:24+00:00enSupporting the Transition to Net-Zero Emissions: The Evolving Role of Central Banks2023-12-18Central bank researchClimate changeFinancial marketsStaff Discussion Paper 2023-31https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/sdp2023-31.pdfSupporting the Transition to Net-Zero Emissions: The Evolving Role of Central BanksKaren McGuinnessDecember 2023DD5D53EE5E58E6E63GG3G32QQ5Q54Central Bank Crisis Interventions: A Review of the Recent Literature on Potential Costs
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/staff-discussion-paper-2023-30/
Central banks’ actions to stabilize financial markets and implement monetary policy during crises may come with costs and side effects. We provide a literature review of these costs and discuss measures that may mitigate the negative impacts of crisis actions.2023-12-11T13:33:31+00:00enCentral Bank Crisis Interventions: A Review of the Recent Literature on Potential Costs2023-12-11Central bank researchFinancial institutionsFinancial marketsFinancial stabilityLender of last resortStaff Discussion Paper 2023-30https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/sdp2023-30.pdfCentral Bank Crisis Interventions: A Review of the Recent Literature on Potential CostsPatrick AldridgeDavid CimonRishi ValaDecember 2023EE5E58GG1G10G2G20Machine learning for economics research: when, what and how

Several measures suggest economic outcomes have improved for Indigenous Peoples in recent decades. Yet, institutional settings and gaps in infrastructure and financing continue to hinder their economic progress. Recent efforts have helped address some data gaps, and new institutions are helping Indigenous communities to overcome historic barriers to growth.2023-10-13T12:25:29+00:00enAn Overview of the Indigenous Economy in Canada2023-10-13Central bank researchDevelopment economicsFinancial servicesLabour marketsMonetary policy transmissionRegional economic developmentsStaff Discussion Paper 2023-25https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sdp2023-25.pdfAn Overview of the Indigenous Economy in CanadaAlex ChernoffCalista CheungOctober 2023EE0E01E02NN4N41N42OO4O43PP4P48
