Financial Systems and the Cost Channel Transmission of Monetary Policy Shocks

Working Papers from Oesterreichische Nationalbank (Austrian Central Bank)

Abstract: In this paper we study the role of financial systems for the cost channel transmission of monetary policy in a calibrated business cycle model. We analyze the different effects that monetary policy has on the economy, in particular on output and inflation, which are due to differences in country-specific financial systems. For a plausible calibration of the model, differences in financial systems have a rather limited effect on the transmission mechanism and do not appear to give rise to cross country differences in the strength of the cost channel.
