VIX at 80. Every path is a model impulse response versus baseline, not a forecast and not financial advice.
This note traces the model response to VIX at 80. Every path is an impulse response versus an unchanged baseline — not a forecast of what will happen in the world and not a reading of market data. The chapters that follow are already sorted by the size of the GDP response.
Netherlands takes the largest GDP move on this path. GDP contracts by 2.26% versus baseline by Q1 — a first-order GDP response. Equities soften 6.31%, and the three-year CPI impulse is -0.30 percentage points. The move shows up first in private investment, then in household consumption and government spending. That is the main adjustment: a change in financial conditions and real income, then the usual lag into activity and prices. It is the conditional elasticity to the shock that was switched on, not a prediction that this path will be realised.
Spillovers are not a carbon copy of that first path. Saudi Arabia contracts by 2.26% versus baseline by Q1 — a first-order GDP response. Equities soften 8.98%, and the three-year CPI impulse is -0.58 percentage points. The move shows up first in private investment, then in household consumption and government debt. Malaysia contracts by 2.25% versus baseline by Q1 — a first-order GDP response. Equities soften 6.03%, and the three-year CPI impulse is -0.16 percentage points. The move shows up first in private investment, then in household consumption and government debt. Norway contracts by 2.22% versus baseline by Q1 — a first-order GDP response. Equities soften 4.83%, and the three-year CPI impulse is -0.26 percentage points. The move shows up first in private investment, then in household consumption and the trade balance. The contrast is the point: the largest spillover is not a scaled copy of the first economy.
Mexico contracts by 2.18% versus baseline by Q1 — a first-order GDP response. Equities soften 3.86%, and the three-year CPI impulse is -0.45 percentage points. The move shows up first in private investment, then in household consumption and government debt.
For the lead economy, Netherlands, the financial backdrop looks like this. On the government curve, benchmark bond prices rally 1.43% by Q5, and unused tenors stay in the background rather than getting a sentence each; the home currency is stronger versus the dollar (-0.51% in Q16); global VIX moves to 80.0 in Q1 (baseline 15). Treat those as the financial backdrop, not as extra shocks, unless they appear in the active treatment.
Read GDP as percent of baseline GDP: −0.52 is minus half a percent, never −52%. A 200 basis-point move is 2.00 percentage points on the policy rate. CPI over three years is the sum of twelve quarterly impulses, not an annualised rate. A rising real exchange rate is a real depreciation — a weaker, more competitive home currency.
The remaining economies are smaller spillovers, written in the same order in the chapters that follow. Each chapter is a desk note, not a catalog of every series. This material is a model-based summary and is not financial advice.
