Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Macroeconomic developments of the last decade and a half have highlighted the central role of financial and housing markets. This has posed unique challenges for a sustainable macroeconomic policy design and altered the field of applied economics and sustainability. This Special Issue is a step forward in this direction.
Academic researchers, policymakers, and the business community are interested in analyzing sustainable macroeconomic policies in the presence of financial risks and economic uncertainty. One challenge is the increased interconnections, both domestically and globally, between macrofinancial variables. Studies find that risks and uncertainty drive the impact of policy shocks on asset markets—stocks, bonds, housing, real estate investment trusts (REIT), and commodities. Higher risk and uncertainty reduce the extent to which policy actions affect the macrofinancial variables. Further, there is a significant spillover of economic shocks due to increased integration of asset markets, both within and across countries, particularly in the case of housing and REIT markets. New research is also emerging by applying different econometric approaches, such as machine learning, to understand model policy design.
Design of a robust and sustainable policy design benefits both developed and emerging market economies. This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality applied economic research papers from academia, business, and other stakeholders on topics that include but are not limited to:
1) Applying econometric frameworks to understand economic and financial integration at domestic and international level;
2) Alternative approaches to model sustainable policies, including but not limited to monetary policy;
3) Time-varying impact of economic policies on financial asset markets and the role of economic and financial uncertainties;
4) National and international linkages of housing and other asset markets with macroeconomic fundamentals;
5) Policies evaluating the impact on real estate investment trusts;
6) Using financial market information for understanding macroeconomic dynamics and policy design.
