This paper incorporates the impacts of monetary policy on the economy in a macro-econometricmodel to analyze the role of the credit channel in Taiwan’s economy. The empirical results show that an adjustment in reserve money by the central bank influences bank loans; moreover, it has an impact on private investment. This implies that the narrow credit channel exists in Taiwan’seconomy. In addition, an adjustment of the interbank rate influences the stock market and housing market via an adjustment of bank loans; and further, it affects domestic demand. The results show that the broad credit channel also exists in Taiwan’s economy. Though the adjustment of reserve money has an immediate impact on bank loans and the real economy, it has no significant influences on asset markets, and has an effect on the real economy only in a short-term period. |
