ABSTRACT
This paper uses a unique firm-bank matched data set for India to provide new insights into the monetary policy transmission mechanism. Our assessment of the bank-lending channel suggests that an increase in credit may have a heterogeneous effect on firms based on the liquidity positions of the lending banks. Investment in fixed assets is found to increase for firms that borrow from liquid banks, when these banks increase their lending. By contrast, we find increased financing of current liabilities – and not increase in long-term investment – for firms that borrow from the less liquid banks.
ABSTRACT
This paper evaluate, in terms of simulated welfare loss, the cross-checking of a DSGE model’s loss function with a simple Taylor rule as a monetary policy framework for a central bank unable to commit to a target. We focus on Tunisia as an emerging economy with challenging characteristics for this technique, mainly high involuntary unemployment and an important informal sector. Our results confirm the effectiveness of this technique and the policy implication we derive is the superiority of cross-checking over discretion as an optimal monetary policy framework when the central bank is unable to commit to a target.
