Modeling extreme events: time-varying extreme tail shape, with Enzo D'Innocenzo, Andre Lucas, and Xin Zhang.
(most recent version: May 2023) (web appendix) (ECB WP).
R&R, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics.
An extreme value theory-based statistical model to study time variation in tail parameters.
With applications to modeling U.S. equity index returns and euro area sovereign yield changes.

The risk management approach to macro-prudential policy, with Chavleishvili, Engle, Fahr, Kremer, and Manganelli.
(ECB WP) (a recent version) (web appendix)
Macro-prudential policy makers need to trade off an economy's short-term upside potential against its medium-term downside risk.
We use a quantile VAR model to relate this intertemporal trade-off to measures of financial stress and medium-term vulnerabilities.

When is monetary policy transmission impaired?
(work in progress)
An estimated semi-structural model indicates that central bank interventions in sovereign bond markets have occurred when
monetary policy shocks ceased to explain a high share of yield variation.

Nonlinear dynamic factor models with interacting level and volatility, with Geert Mesters and Siem Jan Koopman.
(work in progress)
A nonlinear dynamic factor model with interacting conditional mean and volatility factors.
The statistical model implies point and density forecasts of macro variables "at risk."
