摘要:This paper follows the Bayesian time-varying VAR approachwith stochastic volatility developed by Primiceri (2005), to analyze whetherthe reaction of output and prices to interest rate and exchange rate shockshas changed across time (1996-2012) in the Polish economy. The empiricalndings show that: (1) output appears more responsive to an interest rateshock at the beginning of our sample. Since 2000, absorbing this shock hasbecome less costly in terms of output, notwithstanding some reversal sincethe beginning of the global nancial crisis. The exchange rate shock also hasa time-varying eect on output. From 1996 to 2000, output seems to decline,whereas for periods between 2000 and 2008 it has a positive signicant eect.(2) Consumer prices appear more responsive to an interest rate shock duringthe rst half of our sample, when Poland experienced high ination. Theimpact of an exchange rate shock on prices seems to slightly decrease acrosstime.
