QAU Working Paper Series
QAU Working Papers present economic or financial research conducted by Boston Fed economists from the Risk and Policy Analysis Unit and are intended for publication in professional journals.
The Quantitative Analysis Unit (QAU) was the predecessor to the Risk and Policy Analysis Unit. For continuity, the QAU Working Paper Series has maintained its title.
