  Staff Working Paper 2017-34 Ricardo Correa, Teodora Paligorova, Horacio Sapriza, Andrei Zlate

  Using the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Locational Banking Statistics data on bilateral bank claims from 1995 to 2014, we analyze the impact of monetary policy on cross-border bank flows. We find that monetary policy in a source country is an important determinant of cross-border bank flows.

• Optimal Estimation of Multi-Country Gaussian Dynamic Term Structure Models Using Linear Regressions

  Staff Working Paper 2017-33 Antonio Diez de los Rios

  This paper proposes a novel asymptotic least-squares estimator of multi-country Gaussian dynamic term structure models that is easy to compute and asymptotically efficient, even when the number of countries is relatively large—a situation in which other recently proposed approaches lose their tractability.
