【主题】Monetary Policy and the Redistribution Channel (A. Auclert, Working Paper, 2016)

【点评】陈朴 中国人民大学经济学院助理教授 明尼苏达大学经济学博士

【摘要】This paper evaluates the role of redistribution in the transmission mechanism of monetary policy to consumption. Using consumer theory, I show that redistribution has aggregate effects whenever marginal propensities to consume (MPCs) covary, across households, with balance-sheet exposures to aggregate shocks. Unexpected inflation gives rise to a Fisher channel and real interest rate shocks to an interest rate exposure channel; both channels are likely to contribute to the expansionary effects of accommodative monetary policy. The model predicts that if U.S. mortgages all had adjustable rates--as they do in the U.K.--the effect of interest-rate changes on consumer spending would more than double. In addition, this effect would be asymmetric, with rate increases reducing spending by more than cuts would increase it.
