LIQUIDITY, MONETARY POLICY, AND UNEMPLOYMENT: A NEW MONETARIST APPROACH
在包含货币和政府债券的模型中发现了货币政策的消费渠道:央行通过公开市场操作收回债券会降低债券回报,进而抑制持有债券和货币家庭的消费,导致企业利润下降、失业上升。
Abstract We discover a consumption channel of monetary policy in a model with money and government bonds. When the central bank withdraws government bonds (short‐term or long‐term) through open market operations, it lowers returns on bonds. The lower return has a direct negative impact on consumption by households that hold bonds and an indirect negative impact on consumption by households that hold money. As a result, firms earn less profits from production, which leads to higher unemployment. The existence of such a consumption channel can help us understand the effects of unconventional monetary policy.
