Last year I was commissioned by the UK ministry of housing to write a report on the demand side-drivers of the housing affordability crisis. After some election-related delays, here it is. (1/13).

Lots of questions about the effectiveness of monetary policy in dealing with supply-side shocks recently, implicitly assuming mon pol is effective at reducing demand. But what if it actually isn't? Then we're really in trouble. Great work from @heimbergecon & colleagues.
We have a new paper on the overstated effects of conventional monetary policy on output and prices. Results reported in the literature are plagued by p-hacking and publication bias, leading to inflated effect sizes of how interest rate hikes affect output and prices.

We made a similar argument in a 2021 paper in Socioeconomic Review: "the relaxation of credit controls and the privatization of state-owned banks are significantly associated with a lower share of credit extended to non-financial firms" .

If Trump wants to get manufacturing going again, he should consider directed credit policies. Paper from Karsten Muller & co. shows liberalisation of such policies leads banks to shift in to real estate, with negative impacts on growth (37-country panel).

Congrats Patricia! Well deserved.
I don’t know why I didn’t announce it last week. But after taking some time in maternity leave I have now finally passed my PhD upgrade viva and I am now officially a PhD candidate at @IIPP_UCL , looking at ways to model inflation risk in the economy. Yey!.
