The Propagation of Regional Shocks in Housing Markets: Evidence from Oil Price Shocks in Canada

Staff working paper 2018-56 Lutz Kilian, Xiaoqing Zhou
How do global oil price shocks spread through Canada’s economy? With Canada’s regionally diverse economy in mind, we explore the implications of oil price shocks for Canadian housing markets and regional economies. We show that the belief that oil price shocks only matter in oil-rich regions is false.

Equity Option-Implied Probability of Default and Equity Recovery Rate

Staff working paper 2016-58 Bo Young Chang, Greg Orosi

Or is it largely supply side in nature, reflecting demographic and technological factors?
