Bank competition and ECB's monetary policy
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a model of oligopolistic competition in the banking sector, we analyse how the monetary policy rule chosen by the Central Bank can in ̄uence the incentive of banks to set high interest rates on loans over the business cycle. We exploit the basic model to investigate the potential impact of EMU implementation on collusion among banks. In particular, we consider the possible eects of the European Central Bank's policy criteria with regard to the cost of credit in national markets. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
