Negative monetary policy rates are associated with a particular friction because the remuneration of retail deposits tends to be floored at zero. We investigate whether this friction affects banks' reactions when the policy rate is lowered to negative levels, compared to a standard rate cut in...

Negative interest rate policy (NIRP) is associated with a particular friction. The remuneration ofbanks´ retail deposits tends to be floored at zero, which limits the transmission of policy rate cutsto bank funding costs. We investigate whether this friction affects banks' reactions under...

A growing number of studies have sought to measure the effects of non-standard policy on bank funding markets. The purpose of this paper is to carry those estimates a step further by looking at the effects of bank funding market stress on the volume of bank lending, using a simultaneous equation...
