Using structural panel vector autoregressions for 11 OECD countries over the 1999Q1 to 2016Q4 period, we show that there is a considerable interaction between the two economic policies. Specifically, the results suggest that while monetary policy have effects on the real economy, it also affects financial... (More)

Using structural panel vector autoregressions for 11 OECD countries over the 1999Q1 to 2016Q4 period, we show that there is a considerable interaction between the two economic policies. Specifically, the results suggest that while monetary policy have effects on the real economy, it also affects financial conditions such as credit and house price growth. Similarly, macroprudential policy affects credit growth but have effects on the price level. Given the similar effect, authorities should act in a coordinated manner when deciding on monetary and macroprudential policies. (Less)
