Research Project
Project Title: "The Changing Landscape of the International Monetary Financial System: Three Essays"
Supervisors: Prof. Britta Gehrke and Prof. Barbara Fritz
The thesis explores how global shocks have evolved as the international monetary and financial system (IMFS) transforms, and how these changes affect emerging and developing economies (EMDEs). The project aims to deepen the understanding of EMDE vulnerabilities in a changing global financial landscape and to assess the effectiveness of policy instruments that can help these countries mitigate external shocks and preserve macroeconomic stability. The first paper examines how the impact of oil price shocks on EMDEs has changed since the United States became a net oil exporter, focusing on the new positive correlation between oil prices and the U.S. dollar and its amplifying effects on inflation and government bond spreads in oil-importing countries. The second paper investigates how macroprudential policies and capital controls can jointly strengthen macroeconomic resilience by reducing exchange rate volatility and enhancing monetary policy autonomy. The third paper analyzes spillover effects between onshore and offshore currency markets in Latin American economies, particularly during periods of financial stress and foreign exchange interventions, and assesses how capital controls influence these spillovers.
