Abstract

We present a model for data reduction and provide time-fixed indicators for macroprudential policies. Using a panel of 119 countries from 2000 to 2015, we empirically assess the effectiveness of macroprudential policies in reducing volatility in private credit. Unobserved heterogeneity among countries is an important factor. We employ an econometric model that accounts for this heterogeneity and document that the impact of macroprudential policies on financial stability varies, leading to either deterioration or improvement, depending on the macroeconomic conditions of the country in which they are implemented.
