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...

The developed economies of Japan, the United States, and the Eurozone are currently experiencing very low short-term rates, so low that they are considered to be at the “zero lower bound” of possibility. This effectively paralyzes conventional monetary policy. As a consequence, monetary...

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