Inequality’s ripple effect: Analyzing its influence on the natural interest rate and monetary policy in Germany, Japan, and the US
This paper analyzes how different forms of inequality have affected potential growth and the natural interest rate in the U.S., Germany, and Japan during the last two decades. Growing inequalities may constitute a drawback for the recovery of these economies after the Great Recession (GR) and the Covid-19 pandemic. To this aim, we modify the semi-structural model proposed by Holston, Laubach and Williams (2017) by considering the effects of several inequalities. We jointly estimate potential growth and the natural interest rates, showing that the latter can substantially modify the time path of the real interest rate, which prevails when economies are at full strength and inflation is stable. Finally, we study the effects of our estimates on the reaction functions of the monetary authorities.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
