This paper investigates both the effects of domestic monetary policy and external shocks on fundamental macroeconomic variables in six fast growing emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and Turkey—denoted hereafter as BRICS_T. The authors adopt a structural VAR model with a block exogeneity procedure to identify domestic monetary policy shocks and external shocks. Their research reveals that a contractionary monetary policy in most countries appreciates the domestic currency, increases interest rates, effectively controls inflation rates and reduces output. They do not find any evidence of the price, output, exchange rates and trade puzzles that are usually found in VAR studies. Their findings imply that the exchange rate is the main transmission mechanism in BRICS_T economies. The authors also find that that there are inverse J-curves in five of the six fast growing emerging economies and there are deviations from UIP (Uncovered Interest Parity) in response to a contractionary monetary policy in those countries. Moreover, world output shocks are not a dominant source of fluctuations in those economies.

Microcredit institutions spend billions of dollars fighting poverty by making small loans primarily to female entrepreneurs. Proponents argue that microcredit mitigates market failures, spurs micro-enterprise growth, and boosts borrowers’ well-being. We tested these hypotheses with the use of an innovative, replicable experimental design that randomly assigned individual liability microloans (of $225 on average) to 1601 individuals in the Philippines through credit scoring. After 11 to 22 months, we found evidence consistent with unmet demand at the current price (a roughly 60% annualized interest rate): Net borrowing increased in the treatment group relative to controls. However, the number of business activities and employees in the treatment group decreased relative to controls, and subjective well-being declined slightly. We also found little evidence that treatment effects were more pronounced for women. However, we did find that microloans increase ability to cope with risk, strengthen community ties, and increase access to informal credit. Thus, microcredit here may work, but through channels different from those often hypothesized by its proponents.

We study the effects of monetary policy on economic activity separately identifying the effects of a conventional change in the fed funds rate from the policy of forward guidance. We use a structural VAR identified using external instruments from futures market data. The response of output to a fed funds rate shock is found to be consistent with typical monetary VAR analyses. However, the effect of a forward guidance shock that increases long-term interest rates has an expansionary effect on output. This counterintuitive response is shown to be tied to the asymmetric information between the Federal Reserve and the public.

We apply a discrete choice approach to model the empirical behaviour of the Federal Reserve in changing the federal funds target rate, the benchmark of short-term market interest rates in the US. Our methods allow the explanatory variables to be nonstationary as well as stationary. This feature is particularly useful in the present application as many economic fundamentals that are monitored by the Fed and are believed to affect decisions to adjust interest rate targets display some nonstationarity over time. The chosen model successfully predicts the majority of the target rate changes during the time period considered (1994-2001) and helps to explain strings of similar intervention decisions by the Fed. Based on the model-implied optimal interest rate, our findings suggest that there is a lag in the Fed's reaction to economic shocks during this period.

When examining the intricate relationship between economic conditions and purchasing decisions, the utilization of practice datasets can offer invaluable insights. This particular artificial dataset comprises three main components: a dimension table of ten companies, a fact table documenting purchases from these companies, and a set of data points regarding economic conditions. These elements are meticulously designed to mimic real-world scenarios, enabling analysts to dissect and understand how fluctuations in the economy can influence the purchasing behavior of different types of companies.

The dimension table serves as the foundation, listing ten distinct companies, each potentially operating in varied sectors. This diversity allows for a comprehensive analysis across a spectrum of industries, highlighting sector-specific sensitivities to economic changes. The fact table of purchases acts as a historical record, offering detailed insights into the buying patterns of these companies over time. Analysts can observe trends, frequencies, and the magnitude of purchases, correlating them with the economic conditions presented in the third component of the dataset.

The economic conditions data is pivotal, as it encompasses a variety of indicators that can affect purchasing decisions. These may include inflation rates, interest rates, GDP growth, unemployment rates, and consumer confidence indices, among others. By examining the interplay between these economic indicators and the purchasing data, analysts can identify patterns and causations. For instance, an increase in interest rates might lead to a decrease in capital-intensive purchases by companies wary of higher borrowing costs.

Through this dataset, researchers can employ statistical models and data analysis techniques to uncover how economic fluctuations impact corporate purchasing decisions. The findings can offer valuable lessons for businesses in terms of budgeting, financial planning, and risk management. Companies can use these insights to make informed decisions, adjusting their purchasing strategies in anticipation of or in response to economic conditions. This proactive approach can help businesses maintain stability during economic downturns and capitalize on opportunities during favorable economic times.

Ultimately, this practice dataset not only aids in academic and educational pursuits but also serves as a practical tool for business analysts, economists, and corporate strategists seeking to better navigate the complex dynamics of the economy and its effects on corporate purchasing behaviors.
