| Inhalt | Monetary policy actions instantaneously affect as well the level as the term structure of financial market interest rates. Substitution, income and wealth effects initiate changes in agents’ consumption/savings and production/investment plans, and ultimately affect the real economy. The course focusses on the main channels through which monetary policy transmits to the real economy. In particular, we discuss the interest rate, the credit, the cost and the risk-taking channel of monetary policy transmission. We derive and describe the propagation of monetary policy within simplified versions of theoretical models. We discuss empirical papers to assess the relevance of the various channels and to compare the evidence obtained for the US, the euro area and Switzerland. Some additional papers discuss the effectiveness of unconventional monetary policy measures implemented during the recent financial crisis. |
