Course Overview
Under the macroeconomic policy laid down by the central bank or the monetary authority of a nation, to achieve macroeconomic objectives, there are well established models and transmission mechanisms to ensure that policies and strategies are dynamic and commensurate with global trends in order to be relevant.
This module investigates the large majority of models used to analyze monetary policy and transmission of monetary policy to macroeconomic aggregates and household consumption, income and saving using detailed data from research. Underlying the transmission process is the financial market infrastructure that connects the central bank with credit institutions for the settlement of central bank liquidity and securities, which are integral to safe and efficient transactions. Moreover, financial market infrastructures interlink market participants and thus allow them to exchange financial assets in a harmonized, safe and efficient manner. The course will also discuss how monetary models and transmissions policies affect interest rates and aggregate demand, and how such policies affect macroeconomic goals like inflation, consumption, growth and liquidity.
This course is designed to provide participants with the tools necessary to develop or extend their own monetary policy framework.
