Bank Screening Heterogeneity Staff working paper 2016-56 Thibaut Duprey Production efficiency and financial stability do not necessarily go hand in hand.

Is the Discretionary Income Effect of Oil Price Shocks a Hoax? Staff working paper 2017-50 Christiane Baumeister, Lutz Kilian, Xiaoqing Zhou The transmission of oil price shocks has been a question of central interest in macroeconomics since the 1970s. There has been renewed interest in this question after the large and persistent fall in the real price of oil in 2014–16.
