• Components of Uncertainty 

      Larsen, Vegard Høghaug (CAMP Working Paper Series;4/2017, Working paper, 2017)
      Uncertainty is acknowledged to be a source of economic fluctuations. But, does the type of uncertainty matter for the economy's response to an uncertainty shock? This paper offers a novel identfication strategy to ...
    • The Finance Uncertainty Multiplier 

      Alfaro, Iván; Bloom, Nicholas; Lin, Xiaoji (HOFIMAR Working Paper Series; 1/2023, Working paper, 2023)
      We show how real and financial frictions amplify, prolong and propagate the negative impact of uncertainty shocks. We first use a novel instrumentation strategy to address endogeneity in estimating the impact of uncertainty ...
    • The importance of unemployment risk for individual savings 

      Juelsrud, Ragnar E.; Getz Wold, Ella (HOFIMAR Working Paper Series;6/2023, Working paper, 2023)
      In this paper we use a novel natural experiment and Norwegian tax data to quantify the causal impact of unemployment risk on individual savings. We show theoretically that higher unemployment risk increases liquid savings ...
    • In complexity we trust: A systematic literature review of urban quantum technologies 

      Bonab, Aysan Bashirpour; Fedele, Maria; Formisano, Vincenzo; Rudko, Ihor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Today's cities are facing increasingly complex challenges. The growing uncertainty and complexity—caused by the unremitted differentiation of social, environmental, and technological orders—call for novel ways of conceptualizing ...
    • International Transmission of Macroeconomic Uncertainty in Small Open Economies: An Empirical Approach 

      Cross, Jamie L.; Hou, Chenghan; Poon, Aubrey (CAMP Working Paper Series Paper No. 12/2018;, Working paper, 2018-11)
      We estimate the effects of domestic and international sources of macroeconomic uncertainty in three small open economy (SOE) inflation targeting countries: Australia, Canada and New Zealand. To this end, we propose a structural ...
    • Macroeconomic Forecasting with Large Stochastic Volatility in Mean VARs 

      Cross, Jamie L.; Hou, Chenghan; Koop, Gary; Poon, Aubrey (CAMP Working Paper Series;04/2021, Working paper, 2021-06-15)
      Vector autoregressions with stochastic volatility in both the conditional mean and variance are commonly used to estimate the macroeconomic effects of uncertainty shocks. Despite their popularity, intensive computational ...
    • On the Application of the Safety-II Concept in a Security Context 

      Steen, Riana (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      This paper presents an alternative and broader security risk perspective, incorporat-ing uncertainty, as a two-dimensional combination of (1) threat (Th) on value (Vl), (2) vulnerability (Vu) given coping capabilities (Cc), ...
    • Uncertainty and the Term Structure of Interest Rates 

      Cross, Jamie L.; Poon, Aubrey; Zhu, Dan (CAMP Working Paper Series;12/2023, Working paper, 2023-10-13)
      We present a new stylized fact about the link between uncertainty and the term structure of interest rates: Unexpectedly heightened uncertainty elicits a lower, steeper, and flatter yield curve. This result is established ...
