We examine the responses of prices and inflation to monetary shocks in an inventory-theoretic model of money demand. We show that the price level responds sluggishly to an exogenous increase in the money stock because the dynamics of households' money inventories leads to a partially offsetting...

In this paper two shocks are analysed using Canadian data: a money-supply shock ("M-shock") and an interest-rate shock ("R-shock"). Money-supply shocks are derived using long-run restrictions based on long-run propositions of monetary theory. Thus, an M-shock is represented by an orthogonalized...

The interaction of debt and economic performance has been getting more at-tention over the last few years. However, models making provision for debt are still out-numbered by models completely ignoring it. This paper is the first one to analyze therelationship between household debt (in the form...

The subprime crisis produced bizarre movements in real and financial aggregates. In particular, the presence of an unusual relationship between quantitative easing policies and credit market conditions led to an unprecedented drop in the real economic activity. In a Brainard (1967)'s parameter...

We identify the dynamic causal effects of interest rate floor shocks, exploiting regular auctions of Swiss central bank debt securities (SNB Bills). A theoretical model shows that variation in the volume of, and yield on, central bank debt changes the interest rate floor. In addition, the model...

I study spillovers of US monetary policy to the rest of the world, as well as spillbacks to the US economy in an empirical multi-country model over time. Within the multilateral framework, I distinguish the bilateral effect from the network effects that arise from interactions among recipient...

Zimbabwe has recently experienced record hyperinflation of 80 billion percent a month. This paper uses new data from Zimbabwe to investigate money demand under hyperinflation using an ARDL estimation for the period 1980-2008. The results produce plausible convergence rates and long- run...

We augment a standard monetary DSGE model to include a banking sector and financial markets. We fit the model to Euro Area and US data. We find that agency problems in financial contracts, liquidity constraints facing banks and shocks that alter the perception of market risk and hit financial...
