In the Quest of Macroprudential Policy Tools

Abstract

The global financial crisis of late 2008 could not have provided more convincing evidence that price stability is not a sufficient condition for financial stability. In order to attain both, central banks must develop macroprudential instruments in order to prevent the occurrence of systemic risk episodes. For this reason testing the effectiveness of different macroprudential tools and their interaction with monetary policy is crucial. In this paper we explore whether two policy instruments, namely, a capital adequacy ratio rule in combination with a Taylor rule may provide a better macroeconomic outcome than a Taylor rule alone. We conduct our analysis by appending a macroeconometric financial block to an otherwise standard semistructural small open economy neokeynesian model for policy analysis estimated for the Mexican economy. Our results show that with the inclusion of the second instrument, the central bank may obtain substantial gains. Specifically, the central authority can isolate financial shocks and dampen their effects over macroeconomic variables.

Should monetary policy lean against the wind in a small-open economy? Revisiting the Tinbergen rule

“…Meh and Zhang (2012),Kannan et al (2012),Christensen et al (2011),Quint and Rabanal (2014) andSámano (2011) consider the potential gains from complementing monetary policy rules with macroprudential rules. In a framework for a closed economy, Bailliu, Meh and Zhang (2012) find that welfare is higher in regimes where policy-makers respond to financial imbalances using the policy rate and/or a macroprudential tool.…”
