On Policy Evaluation with Aggregate Time-Series Shocks
We develop an estimator for applications where the variable of interest is endogenous and researchers have access to aggregate instruments. Our method addresses the critical identification challenge -- unobserved confounding, which renders conventional estimators invalid. Our proposal relies on a new data-driven aggregation scheme that eliminates the unobserved confounders. We illustrate the advantages of our algorithm using data from Nakamura and Steinsson (2014) study of local fiscal multipliers. We introduce a finite population model with aggregate uncertainty to analyze our estimator. We establish conditions for consistency and asymptotic normality and show how to use our estimator to conduct valid inference.

Exploring Monetary Policy Shocks with Large-Scale Bayesian VARs
I introduce a high-dimensional Bayesian vector autoregressive (BVAR) framework designed to estimate the effects of conventional monetary policy shocks. The model captures structural shocks as latent factors, enabling com…
The elastic origins of tail asymmetry
Based on a multisector general equilibrium framework, we show that the sectoral elasticity of substitution plays the key role in the evolution of asymmetric tails of macroeconomic fluctuations and the establishment of ro…

We explore the international transmission of monetary policy and central bank information shocks originating from the United States and the euro area. Employing a panel vector autoregression, we use macroeconomic and fin…
Econometric assessment of the monetary policy shocks in Morocco: Evidence from a Bayesian Factor-Augmented VAR
The analysis of the effects of monetary policy shocks using the common econometric models (such as VAR or SVAR) poses several empirical anomalies. However, it is known that in these econometric models the use of a large …
An Economical Business-Cycle Model
This paper develops a new model of business cycles. The model is economical in that it is solved with an aggregate demand-aggregate supply diagram, and the effects of shocks and policies are obtained by comparative stati…
