Book excerpt: The financial crisis proved strikingly that the structure of the financial system and financial frictions play a crucial role for the effectiveness of monetary policy but also for system risk. Policymakers have overlooked financial intermediation and financial stability. Shadow banks and especially in the euro area the interbank market play a crucial role in propagating financial turmoil. This dissertation addresses these circumstances and contributes to the research on the optimal design of macroeconomic policy with a particular focus on monetary unions with heterogeneous financial sectors. As the consequences for monetary policy are at the heart of this thesis, I use state-of-the-art dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models and implement financial intermediation and frictions to analyze the transmission channels and interactions of (optimal) fiscal, monetary, macroprudential as well as unconventional monetary policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing number of papers have studied positive and normative implications of financial frictions in DSGE models. We contribute to this literature by studying the welfare-based monetary policy in a two-country model characterized by financial frictions, alongside a number of key features, like capital accumulation, non-traded goods and foreign-currency debt denomination. We compare the cooperative Ramsey monetary policy with standard policy benchmarks (e.g. PPI stability) as well as with the optimal Ramsey policy in a currency area. We show that the two-country perspective offers new insights on the trade-offs faced by the monetary authority. Our main results are the following. First, strict PPI targeting (nearly optimal in our model if credit frictions are absent) becomes excessively procyclical in response to positive productivity shocks in the presence of financial frictions. The related welfare losses are non-negligible, especially if financial imperfections interact with non-tradable production. Second, (asymmetric) foreign currency debt denomination affects the optimal monetary policy and has important implications for exchange rate regimes. In particular, the larger the variance of domestic productivity shocks relative to foreign, the closer the PPI-stability policy is to the optimal policy and the farther is the currency union case. Third, we find that central banks should allow for deviations from price stability to offset the effects of balance sheet shocks. Finally, while financial frictions substantially decrease attractiveness of all price targeting regimes, they do not have a significant effect on the performance of a monetary union agreement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies optimal monetary policy in a model with credit frictions and money demand. We show that augmenting a standard New-Keynesian model with money demand and financial frictions generates a mechanism that, in equilibrium, gives rise to optimal negative nominal interest rates. In addition, we find that the tighter credit markets are, the lower the optimal nominal policy interest rate and the more likely is to be negative. Quantitatively, when credit constraints are binding, a standard calibration of the model generates an optimal nominal policy interest rate that is roughly -4% annually.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thesis aims at evaluating monetary policy in presence of financial frictions both from an empirical and structural perspective. Along those lines, multi-variate time-series framework as well as model with more explicit theoretical foundations will be deployed. The Thesis presents original contributions in various fields of monetary and financial macroeconomics.The main motivation for the applied research presented in this Thesis are twofold. It responded both to the need for deeper research on macro-financial linkages and to the growing interest of policy institutions for the model-based policy advise. First, the Great recession and in particular, the typology of crisis episodes in Europe over the last decade, unveiled new challenges for monetary policy conduct, notably related to the prevalence of financial factors in cyclical fluctuations, the design of non-standard measures and the interactions with financial service policies. The second motivation has to do with the growing role for structural models in the preparation of monetary policy within central banks. Over the last decades, academic research and central bank practices have mutually benefited from strong synergies, whereby quantitative methods and theoretical advances have had a lasting influence on main preparation avenues for monetary policy making.In Chapter 1, a set of empirical studies intend to demonstrate the prevalence of financial shocks underlying the euro area macroeconomic performance during the Great recession. In particular, BVAR models can identify credit supply shocks and quantify their contribution to the various recessionary episodes over the last decade.Thereafter, Chapter 2 explores more structurally the transmission mechanism of financial shocks together with their heterogeneity across the euro area through the lens of DSGE models featuring a relevant set of demand-side as well as supply-side credit frictions.Against this background, the Thesis examine more normative aspects of monetary policy conduct starting with derivation of optimal monetary policy in selected DSGE models, which is the focus of Chapter 3. The Ramsey approach to optimal monetary provides a clear benchmark for formulating normative prescriptions. We analyse the main properties of the Ramsey allocation within a set of quantitative DSGE models, thereby bring new insight on various closed economy and open economy policy challenges.At times of crisis, as financial-driven recessions bring the monetary policy interest rates to their effective lower bound, central bank deployed a set of non-standard measures in order to engineer the intended policy accommodation. Chapter 4 presents several studies which extend DSGE models to analyse the role of non-standard monetary policy measures like asset purchase programmes or long-term liquidity operations. The credit channel of those measures will be the focus of the analysis. From a more normative standpoint, the optimal central bank asset purchase strategy will be derived.Finally, in Chapter 5, the normative assessment of monetary policy conduct in presence of financial frictions calls for considering strategic interactions with other policies, and notably macroprudential policy. Such interactions are all the more relevant when analysed in a monetary union context through multi-country DSGE models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great recession that started in 2007, has not only changed the perspective of the macroeconomic literature about the role of financial frictions within the canonical New Keynesian (henceforth, NK) monetary models but also has rekindled the debate about sources of business cycle fluctuations. This dissertation, comprising of three self-contained essays, makes theoretical and empirical contributions to the emerging strands of literature incorporating financial frictions in the NK monetary models. The first essay (Chapter 2) of this dissertation extends traditional optimal monetary policy analysis to NK models with capital and financial frictions. In the case of a negative productivity shock, the chapter finds that: 1) a standard inflation targeting rule dominates the Taylor rule in both NK models without capital and with capital as it approximates the welfare level associated with the Ramsey policy; 2) in the NK model with capital and with financial frictions, the relative performance of the economy under standard inflation targeting is much better compared to alternative policies because it approximates Ramsey monetary policy. In the case of a financial shock, the chapter shows that the inflation targeting rule provides a welfare level that is close to the welfare level achieved under optimal monetary policy under commitment. In addition, Ramsey policy under commitment performs well in response to a financial shock, compared to alternative monetary policy regimes, by aggressively minimizing the impact of financial constraints on the interest rate spread. The second essay (Chapter 3) estimates the importance of financial shocks in business cycle fluctuations for the US economy using structural VAR models. In that chapter, financial and non-financial shocks are identified with a minimum set of sign restrictions based on the two competing NK models: the standard NK model augmented with a financial accelerator and the NK model augmented with financial intermediaries. Estimation results show that a financial shock, emanating both from entrepreneur's net worth and financial intermediaries net worth, is prominent in explaining fluctuations in real output and interest rate spread. As far as the relative importance of these two financial shocks is concerned, the following results stand out. A financial shock related to the demand side is relatively the major driver of output fluctuations in both time horizons while financial shocks related to financial intermediaries explain a moderate variation in output fluctuations in both time horizons. In addition, financial shocks related to financial intermediaries account for a relatively larger share of interest rate spread fluctuations at both time horizons compared to a financial shock related to the demand side. The third essay (Chapter 4) extends Gertler and Karadi's model (2011) into a two-sector setting. The Two-Sector Financial Accelerator model not only helps to incorporate the differences in the leverage ratios of commercial and investment banks but also introduces additional shocks that capture some features of the sub-prime financial crisis in the simulated economy. The results also show that output recovery would remain slow in the simulated economy as long as the relative price of non-consumption goods is not recovered to its trend.
