The augmented bank balance-sheet channel of monetary policy
Bittner, Christian; Bonfim, Diana; Heider, Florian; … - 2022
This paper studies how banks’ balance sheets and funding costs interact in the transmission of monetary-policy rates to … banks’ credit supply to firms. To do so, we use credit-registry data from Germany and Portugal together with the European … Central Bank’s policy-rate cuts in mid-2014. The pass-through of the rate cuts to banks’ funding costs differs across the euro …

The hockey stick Phillips curve and the effective lower bound
Böhl, Gregor; Lieberknecht, Philipp - 2021
We show that if business cycles are driven by financial shocks, the interplay between the effective lower bound (ELB) and the costs of external financing can generate an additional supply-side channel, which causes a disconnect between inflation and output. In normal times, factor costs dominate...

Firm heterogeneity and the transmission of central bank credit policy
Kuhmann, Konrad - 2023
I study the role of firm heterogeneity for the transmission of unconventional monetary policy in the form of "credit policy" à la Gertler and Karadi (2011). To this end, I lay out a Two-Agent New-Keynesian model with financially constrained and unconstrained firms and a financial intermediary...

Financial shocks and inflation dynamics
Abbate, Angela; Eickmeier, Sandra; Prieto, Esteban - 2016
We assess the effects of financial shocks on inflation, and to what extent financial shocks can account for the "missing disinflation" during the Great Recession. We apply a vector autoregressive model to US data and identify financial shocks through sign restrictions. Our main finding is that...

The (ir)relevance of the nominal lower bound for real yield curve analysis
Schupp, Fabian - 2020
I propose a new term structure model for euro area real and nominal interest rates which explicitly incorporates a time-varying lower bound for nominal interest rates. Results suggest that the lower bound is of importance in structural analyses implying time-varying impulse responses of yield...

On household labour supply in sticky-wage HANK models
Gerke, Rafael; Giesen, Sebastian; Lozej, Matija; … - 2024 - November 24, 2023
Heterogeneous-agent New Keynesian models with sticky nominal wages usually assume that wage-setting unions demand the same amount of hours from all households. As a result, unions do not take account of the fact that (i) households are heterogeneous in their willingness to work, and that (ii)...

Reversal interest rate and macroprudential policy
Darracq Pariès, Matthieu; Kok Sørensen, Christoffer; … - 2021
Could a monetary policy loosening in a low interest rate environment have unintended recessionary effects? Using a non-linear macroeconomic model fitted to the euro area economy, we show that the effectiveness of monetary policy can decline in negative territory until it reaches a turning point,...

Do heterogeneous expectations constitute a challenge for policy interaction?
Gasteiger, Emanuel - 2016
Yes, indeed; at least for macroeconomic policy interaction. We examine a Neo-Classical economy and provide the conditions for policy arrangements to successfully stabilize the economy when agents have either rational or adaptive expectations. For a contemporaneous-data monetary policy rule, the...

(Un)expected monetary policy shocks and term premia
Kliem, Martin; Meyer-Gohde, Alexander - 2017
We analyze an estimated stochastic general equilibrium model that replicates key macroeconomic and financial stylized facts during the Great Moderation of 1983-2007. Our model predicts a sizeable and volatile nominal term premium - comparable to recent reduced-form empirical estimates - with...
