In a basic New Keynesian DSGE model with involuntary unemployment and inflation target shocks, we study the role of labor markets in the transmission of persistent monetary policy shocks that increase households' inflation expectations. The model predicts that labor market conditions can play...

We present new empirical evidence on monetary transmission by incorporating two types of shocks -- a standard temporary interest rate shock and a persistent inflation target shock. In an estimated DSGE model under imperfect information, where agents may be unable to distinguish these shocks, we...

We present empirical evidence on monetary transmission from estimated New Keynesian and empirical VAR models, that allow for a standard nominal interest rate shock and an inflation target shock. In response to the highly persistent inflation target shock we largely find evidence of a Neo-Fisher...

Does the maturity of the relevant risk-free rate influence the strength of monetary policy pass-through to interest rates on new loans? To address this question, we present novel empirical evidence on lending practices across all euro area countries, using AnaCredit data covering nearly seven...
