Abstract: We study the redistributive effects of monetary policy in the framework of a large OLG model, with endogenous housing choice, downpayment constraints, and different types of shocks. We pay special attention to the structure of debt, whether it is short-term or long-term, nominal or real. We find that monetary policy shocks have long-lasting effects on the inter-generational wealth distribution. While the debt structure only has a mild effect on aggregate statistics, it matters a lot for how different types of shocks under different monetary policy regimes affect the distribution.
