We quantify the impact of bank market power on monetary policy transmission through banks to borrowers. We estimate a … dynamic banking model in which monetary policy affects imperfectly competitive banks’ funding costs. Banks optimize the pass …-through of these costs to borrowers and depositors, while facing capital and reserve regulation. We find that bank market power …
