Nominal rigidities and the real effects of monetary policy in a structural var model

The paper proposes an empirical VAR for the UK open economy in order to measure the effects of monetary policy shocks from 1981 to 2003. The identification of the VAR structure is based on short-run restrictions that are consistent with the general implications of a New Keynesian model. The identification scheme used in the paper is successful in identifying monetary policy shocks and solving the puzzles and anomalies regarding the effects of monetary policy shocks. The estimated dynamic impulse responses and the forecast error variance decompositions show a consistency with the New Keynesian approach and other available theories. | DEPOCEN Working Paper Series No. 2007/06 Nominal Rigidities And The Real Effects Of Monetary Policy In A Structural VAR Model Pham The Anh * * School of Social Sciences, University of Manchester, UK Department of Economics, National Economics University, Vietnam The DEPOCEN WORKING PAPER SERIES disseminates research findings and promotes scholar exchanges in all branches of economic studies, with a special emphasis on Vietnam.
