Abstract
We develop a theoretical framework revealing a negative relationship between the volatility of loan interest rates and central bank transparency. Empirical analysis of G-7 economies supports this theoretical prediction. Additionally, this relationship is strengthening under tight macroprudential regulations.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
