Monetary policy when export revenues drop
We study how monetary policy should respond to shocks which permanently alter the steady state structure of the economy. In such a case monetary policy affects not only the short run misallocations due to nominal rigidities, but also relative prices which stimulate reallocation of capital. We consider a permanent and negative shock to export revenues that requires a larger traded sector and a smaller non-traded sector in the new steady state. This reallocation calls for a change in relative prices during the transition, but may also lead to a period of high unemployment. We show how an appropriate monetary policy could mitigate the welfare costs of the transition by allowing the exchange rate to depreciate, and thereby allowing inflation to increase in the short run. Traditional monetary policy regimes, such as inflation targeting or a fixed exchange rate, would imply high unemployment and inefficiently slow transition. Stabilizing nominal wage growth, in contrast, would be close to the welfare-optimal monetary policy.publishedVersio
The commercial real estate market - no longer a “black box”
Norwegian banks’ exposure to commercial real estate (CRE) is substantial. Historically, banks in Norway and in other countries have incurred considerable losses on loans to this sector during financial crises. Publicly available information has been limited. This is partly because CRE is a highly heterogeneous product, and transactions involving commercial buildings are often not recorded in public registers. Norges Bank has recently obtained access to a large sample of data for commercial buildings. We have linked this data set to banks’ mortgages on buildings and estimated the market value of buildings. Our results show that the preponderance of banks’ exposure to CRE is to the office market in cities, particularly in Oslo. On the otherhand, the most expensive office buildings are one of the segments banks are less exposed to. Furthermore, we find that banks are broadly exposed to the CRE market and that individual banks’ exposures to different building types are fairly similar.publishedVersio
Finding DORY
This paper describes the semi-structural model DORY used by Norges Bank as a link between raw data, sector experts and the core policy model NEMO. While the primary objective in NEMO is to analyse business cycle fluctuations and monetary policy, DORY is used to identify the underlying trends in the main macro variables in Norway. DORY has been gradually developed over the last couple of years and has now been estimated using state of the art Bayesian estimation techniques.publishedVersio
