Microorganisms in nature exist in two states, as free-floating or free-swimming (planktonic) and anchored-sessile forms. Biofilms are defined as highly structured communities of microorganisms that are either surface-associated or attached to one another, and are enclosed within a self-produced protective extracellular matrix.

We recover GDP impulse responses using a local projections instrumental variables (LPIV) estimation. The instrument for the monetary policy shock is the change of overnight indexed swap rates in a narrow time window around ECB announcements.
