This paper models the relationship between short-term rates and excess reserves in an interest rate corridor as a logistic function estimated for the Eurosystem. The estimate helps to identify conditions in which short-term rates become unanchored, that is, they move away from the policy rates...

Based on the experience of the Bank of Albania, the paper proposes a framework toestimate the interest rate lower bound in small, open, and euroized economies. The paperintroduces a stylized monitoring tool to assess the unintended consequences of low policyrates. The paper is the first attempt...
