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,...

We estimate a dynamic banking model to quantify the impact of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) on the banking system. Our counterfactuals show that a one-dollar introduction of CBDC replaces bank deposits by around 80 cents on the margin. Bank lending falls by one-fourth of the drop in...

This paper studies how introducing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) can affect the banking system. We show that CBDC need not reduce bank lending unless frictions and synergies bind deposits and lending together. We then estimate a dynamic banking model to quantify the importance of these...
