The Cost Channel Reconsidered: A Comment Using an Identification-Robust Approach

No 1010, School of Economics Discussion Papers from School of Economics, University of Surrey

Abstract: We re-examine the empirical relevance of the cost channel of monetary policy (e.g. Ravenna and Walsh, 2006), employing recently developed moment-conditions inference methods, including identi cation-robust procedures. Using US data, our results suggest that the cost channel effect is poorly identi ed and we are thus unable to corroborate the previous results in the literature
