Abstract: | This paper re-examines the effects of monetary policy shocks by exploiting the information contained in open market operations. A sticky price model is developed where money is the counterpart of securities deposited at the central bank. It is revealed that a rise in central bank holdings of open market securities can be interpreted as a monetary expansion. Furthermore, estimates of vector autoregressions for U.S. data are provided showing that reactions to an unanticipated rise in open market securities are consistent with common priors about a monetary expansion. |
