题目:Over-the-Counter Markets, Intermediation, and Monetary Policy

摘要:This paper develops a model to examine  two policies—cutting interest rates and quantitative easing (QE) in a frictional financial environment. In this model, agents sell assets to acquire money when a consumption opportunity arises, which can only be done through over-the-counter (OTC) markets. In equilibrium, when the interest rate is low (not necessarily zero), households who trade in OTC mar- kets achieve their optimal consumption. When the interest rate is high, QE will raise asset prices and lower households’ consumption. The asset price increase indicates a higher liquidity premium, which reflects inefficiency in money reallocation.
