Abstract: The general search for U.S. dollars in forward currency markets, combined with the balance-sheet constraints of intermediary dealers, induces persistent failure of covered interest parity (CIP). We investigate these CIP deviations across the entire maturity spectrum by analyzing the daily dynamics of the USD/CHF ...more »

Abstract: The emergence of stablecoins has created a new channel to access US dollar liquidity in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs), similar to the historical role of foreign currency deposits, or “deposit dollarisation”. This has raised concerns about the possible implications for monetary control ...more »

Abstract: We examine how central banks can effectively communicate forecast uncertainty in a two-part experimental study. Part I tests how different visual media – fan charts, dot plots, box-and-whisker plots, speedometers, and ranges – communicate uncertainty to both the general public and expert audiences. We ...more »

Abstract: This paper develops an agent-based framework (DeTail) to assess the state-contingent tail effects of releasable macroprudential capital buffers. The model features heterogeneous firms, households, and banks, and a single central bank, all interacting in a fully integrated, stock-flow consistent framework which generates endogenous credit ...more »

Abstract: Natural disasters pose complex challenges for monetary policy in resource-rich small open economies. Using an open-economy dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model calibrated to Canada, we embed stochastic disaster shocks affecting capital, productivity, and the commodity sector. Drawing on detailed historical data, we quantify disaster-specific ...more »

Abstract: Despite documented heterogeneity in volatility dynamics across the option surface, standard implied volatility forecasting models apply homogeneous parameters throughout. We introduce a machine-learning framework that uses regression trees to partition the surface along both moneyness and maturity dimensions, identifying data-driven regions where distinct forecasting ...more »

Using confidential bank-firm credit data and hand collected Liquidity Coverage Ratio regulation (LCR) disclosures during COVID-19, we find that banks with higher LCR buffers above the regulatory minimum ...more »

Abstract: Internal ratings-based models play a central role in bank risk management and regulatory capital determination, yet their validation remains methodologically challenging and operationally resource-intensive. In this paper, we contribute to the quantitative validation of probability of default models through a systematic backtesting exercise using ...more »
