Long-term influence of monetary policy

Monetary policy can either be contractionary or expansionary, and both policies impact nominal variables differently in the long-run.
Price levels
A contractionary policy results in a decrease in equity prices because the income stream is discounted at a relatively higher rate. Also, the price levels of equity can drop since high-interest rates and low supply of money lead to reduced demand for equity. In this case, bonds can be an attractive investment since they pay high interests (Meltzer, 1995). Nevertheless, an increase in interest rates does not always result in fall of share prices. People may interpret the high-interest ...

The discussion on the government intervention is changing direction each time the world economy suffers from a global crisis becomes ...

Do the imbalances in current accounts still matter in today’s deep global financial markets that exhibit two-way gross economic flows that dwarf the new outcomes provided by current accounts? Contrasting the adult perception of the world and complete markets, extreme current account imbalances indicate severe financial and macroeconomic stresses, particularly as was the case in the mid-2000s.
