Abstract: By introducing search and matching frictions in both the labor and the credit markets into acash in advance New Keynesian DSGE model, we provide a novel explanation of the incompletepass-through from policy rates to loan rates. We show that this phenomenon is ineradicable ifbanks possess some power in the bargaining over the loan rate of interest, if the cost of postingjob vacancies is positive and if firms and bank sustain costs when searching for lines of creditand when posting credit vacancies, respectively. We also show that the presence of credit marketfrictions moderates the reactions of output and wages to a monetary shock, and that thetransmission of monetary policy shocks to output and inflation is more relevant than suggestedby the recent literature.
