Does Ination Adjust Faster to Aggregate Technology Shocks than to Monetary Policy Shocks?
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper studies U.S. ination adjustment speed to aggregate technology shocks and to monetary policy shocks in a medium size Bayesian VAR model. According to the model estimated on the 1959-2007 sample, ination adjusts much faster to aggregate technology shocks than to monetary policy shocks. These results are robust to di¤erent identi cation assumptions and measures of aggregate prices. However, by separately estimating the model over the preand post-1980 periods, this paper further shows that ination adjusts much faster to technology shocks than to monetary policy shocks in the post-1980 period, but not in the pre-1980 period.

There is an apparent theoretical discrepancy between the effects of monetary policy shocks on economies with differently competitive banking sectors.
