“…Along with the general literature on monetary policy transmission mechanism (see e.g. Bagliano and Favero, 1998), it is assumed that monetary policy can affect consumption (and all the other variables in the model except asset prices) only after a lag of one period. We also introduce sticky prices, as is customary in the literature.…”

“…This process was much slower in Italy than in the UK or the US, therefore allowing the central bank to continue with the use of money-targeting. 7 However, policymakers and academics gradually turned back to consider short-term interest rates as additional reliable indicators of the monetary conditions, as well as the most important channel of transmission of monetary impulses to the real econ- 4 Table 1 shows that even the use of target bands was not always su cient to avoid failures in hitting the target: this happened again in 1989,1990,1991, and again in the recent past.
