Monetary Policy And Asset Price Developments

Since the Central Bank has the exclusive right to issue money in the economy, it can have extensive influence on the determination of interest rate in financial markets and in the economy as a whole, by adjusting the interest rate on short-term loans to financial institutions. Central Bank interest rates on these loans therefore have the most immediate impact on other short-term interest rates in the money market. By influencing interest rates, monetary policy then has an effect on the savings and expenditure decisions of individuals and corporate.

Monetary policy, in the short run, has an impact toward the demand for goods and services. That is, monetary policy has a distinct influence over inflation and other economic factors, not only at the federal level, but at the state and citywide levels. Monetary policy will influence the financial conditions facing firms and households in the environment, even at the micro level. Thus, employees who produce goods and services are impacted, as is the demand for those goods and services. When monetary policy imposes changes, the financial conditions that affect the economic activity in specific sectors are influenced as well. The federal government, through fiscal policies

In cannot be denied that the monetary policy played a role on this housing market development, however, there is not sufficient proof to support the idea that the monetary policy played a major role in this event. Yes, the monetary policy was, what it could be considered, loose, but it was clearly not too loose like to generate such

As part of our term project for the Topics in Macroeconomics class we were assigned the topic of linking the Keynesian view with the Great Depression of the 1930s as well as using it to explain and critically evaluate the United States Federal Reserve’s Quantitative Easing policy, which was employed in an effort to combat the downfall of the world economy in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008.

There is a significant correlation between stock market returns, inflation, and money growth. The effects of macroeconomic variable on equity returns are nonlinear and time variant. This characteristic makes the study of these effects difficult. I estimate a GARCH model of monthly returns of S&P500, where realized returns and their volatility depend on 11 macro announcements. The purpose of this paper is to see which macroeconomic factors affect aggregate stock returns most during 2008 financial crisis. Also, the effects of these factors before and after the crisis are compared. I find out …

Gurkaynak, Sack and Swanson (2004) investigates the response of asset prices to monetary policy actions and statements, using a high frequency event-study analysis similar Craine and Martin (2004), they recognised that the change in assets prices are not accurately

Monetary policies are strategies used by the central bank, financial regulatory committee of currency board to regulate the amount of money supply in the economy. There are two types of monetary policies. These are expansionary monetary policies and contractionary monetary policies.

Optimal discretionary policies are initiatives that aim at improving the net worth of a market or economic situation. The optimal discretionary monetary policies are policies that ensure that there are monetary advantages within the market through ensuring that the money supply is favourable for handling of various tasks (Barro & Gordon 1983). The discretionary monetary policies are therefore aimed at initiating and developing money supply control measures through the policies models (Romer & Romer 2004). The models for the

In the past 20 years, the central banks in most developed countries had successfully managed to control the inflation rate. However, the financial crisis 2008 has highlighted the links between financial market and policy. (Ravn, 2011) The topic I am going to discuss is the relationship between monetary policy and the stock market. What factors have influenced interest rate and how the policymakers should react to the change in stock market have driven the increasing attentions lately. Taylor Rule (2003) will be the core theory used to discuss the model tested. The interpretation of simple Taylor rule is very straightforward. According to the equationi_t=c+β(π_t-π_t^* )+γ(y_t-y_t^* )+ε_t , the policy will be mainly affected by inflation gap and output gap. (Woodford, 2001) The reason why Taylor uses interest rate to represent monetary policy is that the central bank likes to adjust interest rate as a tool to maintain the balance in the market. While, there is a strong debate about the other variables, in particular, stock price volatility. After taking asset price volatility into account, the augmented Taylor rule equation will be reformulated as:i_t=c+β(π_t-π_t^* )+γ(y_t-y_t^* )+∑_(k=1)^n▒〖δ_k s_(t-k)+ε_t 〗. It will influence the monetary policy while the importance of asset price in the market is very controversial. Scholars including Bernanke and Gertler question the importance of asset price in determining the monetary policy and claim that the influence

Generally, interest rates are positive, but they can also be negative due to the monetary policy by government. A negative interest rate is defined as “an interest rate below zero, in which the person, bank, etc. lending the money pays interest to the one borrowing the money” in dictionary.cambridge.org. In other words, a negative interest rate means banks must pay people or firms if they loan money from banks. Furthermore, a negative interest rate also means people must be charged if they put their money in savings account of a bank. Thus, this policy is major to encourage everyone instead of hoarding their cash but spending, investing, and extending more loans.

At the same time, monetary policy authorities must always bear in mind that monetary policy can only create favourable conditions for growth temporarily. The central bank tries to focus on a goal which is achievable with the resources at its disposal, namely ensuring price stability. Price stability is not an end in itself. By ensuring price stability, monetary policy creates conditions favourable for companies and households, and thereby makes an important contribution to stable economic

The Fed hasn 't raised the interest rate since the Financial crisis 2008 and it said that the interest rate would keep near zero for now, as expected, but it added an unusually explicit statement that it would consider raising rates at its final meeting of the year in mid-December. From the perspective of monetary restraint policy this essay will deal with if the interest rate would raise or not from the aspects of monetary restraint policy. My purpose is that Fed would definitely raise the interest in short term considering both inflation and unemployment rate by now. The raise in interest rate would lead to lower levels of capital investment but after 7 years growth on economy, it is time to slow down and get an insurance for future inflation.

In this section, it will state the details of Taylor rules which used in this research, Taylor rules is a tool to identify the relationship between monetary policies and stock markets, which formulated as:

The last five years have been peculiar for the global economy, with recession looming around. Consequently, the role of future monetary policymakers and the interpretation of the effects of the policies have become desperately critical. In order to restore the ailing financial markets, central banks have engaged in activities aimed at reducing the interest rates to zero and expanding the balance sheets. The efforts have gone a long way toward preserving the financial markets and saving the global economy from further depression. However, the actions carry long-term risks for central banks and the economies. This paper will delve into the transition of central bank roles in the wake of the recession.
