Banks and markets in a monetary economy

Gaetano Antinolfi () and Enrique Kawamura

Journal of Monetary Economics, 2008, vol. 55, issue 2, 321-334

Abstract: Modern financial sectors consist of banks, asset markets and a central bank. This paper builds a model where these institutions provide different financial services, and their interaction supports efficient allocations. When one institution is missing equilibria are, by construction, inefficient. The paper analyzes how interest rates and asset prices depend on the structure of the financial sector and characterizes the central bank policy that supports efficient allocations. The analysis relies on the difference between liquidity and real shocks, and relates the notion of liquidity used in this paper to the one adopted in other studies.
