This paper employs event study methods to evaluate the effects of ECB’s non-standard monetary policy program announcements on 10-year government bond yields of 11 euro area member states. Measurable effects of announcements arise with a one-day delay meaning that government bond markets take some time to react to ECB announcements. The country-specific extent of yield reduction seems inversely related to the solvency rating of the corresponding countries. The spread between core and periphery countries reduces because of a stronger decrease in the latter. This result is confirmed by letting the announcement variable interact with the current spread level.
This paper evaluates the impact of announcements of Covid-19 related monetary and fiscal policy measures by the European Central Bank and the European Commission. Applying an event study, we find that the announcements predominantly affect the government bond yields of more solvent countries such as Germany and the Netherlands. Since this finding mainly holds for the announcements of fiscal measures, we conclude that the investors are primarily concerned about the future fiscal burden that has to be shouldered by those solvent countries within the euro area.
Covid-19 hat zu einem massiven Einbruch der globalen Wirtschaft geführt und zugleich erhebliche Verwerfungen auf den Finanzmärkten verursacht.

Dieser Aufsatz analysiert die kürzlich beschlossenen geldpolitischen Maßnahmen von EZB und Fed.
Dieser Artikel erörtert, inwiefern sich die in der Corona-Pandemie beschlossenen wirtschaftlichen Einschränkungen auf die Preisentwicklung auswirken. Neben der theoretischen Betrachtung anhand des AS-AD Modells werden aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse diskutiert. Darüber hinaus wird näher auf die Messung der Inflation und dessen Herausforderungen im Zuge von Covid-19 eingegangen.
