1 Does Bank Lending Tightness Matter? IGOR ERMOLAEV Bank of Russia CHARLES FREEDMAN International Monetary Fund MICHEL JUILLARD Paris School of Economics and CEPREMAP ONDRA KAMENIK International Monetary Fund DMITRY KORSHUNOV Bank of Russia DOUGLAS LAXTON International Monetary Fund

2 March 17, 8 Introduction Estimate a small Global Projection Model (GPM) using U.S. data on GDP, unemployment, in ation and the Fed Funds Rate Add information on Bank Lending Tightness (BLT) to see how much it matters

3 Three Major Findings The model produces plausible forecasts and sensible IRFs BLT results in a signi cant improvement in forecast accuracy The model predicts signi cant weakness in the U.S. economy in 8

4 The US economy over the sample period In 199, as the economy completed its recovery from the recession of the Fed raised its policy interest rate towards a more neutral, less stimulative level. Over the period 199 to 1999, the economy continued to grow at a fairly rapid pace, with unemployment falling. In response to concerns about in ationary pressures the Fed began to raise interest rates gradually through 1999 and into. GDP growth slowed partly in response to the high tech slowdown and the fall in the stock market.

5 The US economy over the sample period (cont.) The Fed gradually reduced its policy interest rate with the decline of in ation to very low levels. The period of low interest rates was successful in reinvigorating the economy and causing unemployment to decline from a peak of about % in 3 to a trough of about 1/% in. Finally, over the past few months, the end of the housing price boom, the liquidity problems in the asset-backed commercial paper market, and the problems faced by holders of structured nancial instruments have together led to a negative outlook for the United States

54 Conclusion and Next Extension Results challenge simple models that assume that the policy rate, GDP, in ation, and unemployment contain su cient information for measuring and predicting business cycles. Add risky spreads and asset prices. Some preliminary results extending the results to a -country version (U.S. and euro area are encouraging), but will require some technological innovation in DYNARE as the BLT variable for the euro area only goes back to 3.
