Abstract

Amorello explores interactions and conflicts between macroprudential and monetary policies, providing an impact assessment of the current calibrations of powers and competences, as well as evidences of the economic interactions between financial and monetary stability. The risk of conflicting policy stances between macroprudential supervision and monetary intervention under particular scenarios is also recognized, paying attention to the risk of negative spillovers that may potentially arise in the EU financial environment. Amorello also scrutinizes the institutional models that may permit the alignment of the two policies, noting how the EU legal and institutional settings may offer a fruitful stimulus for reflection upon the critical issues at stake.

    In particular, some authors claim that excessively easy monetary policy by the Federal Reserve in the first half of the decade helped causing the global house price bubble. This opinion is shared, among others, by White (2009), pp. 115–124; Taylor (2009), pp. 1–30; Ahrend, Cournède, and Price (2008), pp. 5–33. Other authors claim that the role of monetary policy in financial bubble should not be overestimated, and other factors, such as mortgage standards, were far more important in the build-up of the crisis. Of this view, in particular, see Dokko, Doyle, Kiley, Kim, Sherlund, Sim, and Van Den Heuvel (2011), pp. 239–283; Bernanke (2010).

    For example, see Committee on International Economic Policy and Reform (2011), pp. 1–35. The Committee, composed of Barry Eichengreen, Mohamed El-Erian, Arminio Fraga, Takatoshi Ito, Jean Pisani-Ferry, Eswar Prasad, Raghuram Rajan, Maria Ramos, Carmen Reinhart, Helene Rey, Dani Rodrik, Kenneth Rogoff, Hyun Song Shin, Andres Velasco, Beatrice Weder di Mauro, and Yongding Yu, suggests that financial stability should be an explicit objective of central banks.

    With regard to monetary policy, the simplest DGSE model is constructed around the interconnections of three blocks: (1) an aggregate demand block, (2) an aggregate supply block, and (3) a monetary policy equation. The equations that define these blocks are derived from so-called micro-foundations, that is, explicit assumptions about the behavior of the economic actors—namely, households, firms, the government, and a central bank—which are supposed to interact in a simplified economy. For further details, see Sbordone, Tambalotti, Rao, and Walsh (2010), pp. 24–25.

    In particular, the ECB uses mainly two aggregate DSGE models for its policy analysis: (1) the New Area Wide Model (NAWM) and (2) the Christiano, Motto, and Rostagno (CMR) model. For details, see Smets, Christoffel, Coenen, Motto, and Rostagno (2010), pp. 51–65.

  13. 13.

    Smets and Wouters (2004), pp. 842–843, claim that DSGE models with sticky prices and wages are sufficiently rich to capture most of the statistical features of the main macroeconomic time series. While the model structure is of much help to capture the parameters and the type of shocks that may affect the economy, its probabilistic nature implies that these models can be easily used to forecast uncertainly and to perform a model and data-consistent analysis.

  85. 85.

    See Meeks (2015), pp. 1–31, where the author argues that an increase in the required capital ratio has persistent and negative effects on household and corporate lending growth. This reduction in lending growth negatively influences GDP growth, with corporate bond and mortgage spreads acting to amplify this negative pressure through a financial accelerator channel. Conversely, Karmakar (2013), pp. 1–34, shows that countercyclical capital buffers can make the economy resilient to downturns and, in terms of consumption and welfare, the society is better off under such regulatory regime than the current set of microprudential policies.

  86. 86.

    Carboni, Pariès, and Kok (2013), p. 101. With respect to the equity levels, Francis and Osborne (2012), pp. 803–816, found that regulatory capital requirements play a substantial role in determining banks’ internal target capital ratios, and their results demonstrate that desired capital ratios increase (decrease) as capital requirements increase (decrease). Instead, Bridges, Gregory, Nielsen, Pezzini, Radia, and Amar Spaltro (2014), pp. 3–23, investigate by using a panel regression the effects of a change in bank capital requirements on lending decisions. The authors argue that a tightening of capital requirements may affect lending decisions with heterogeneous responses in different sectors of the economy.

    For details, see Kawata, Kurachi, Nakamura, and Teranishi (2013). In addition, Carboni, Pariès, and Kok (2013), at p. 103, argue that changes to banks’ capital and liquidity positions, along with their influence on lending decisions, are likely to have considerable costs for the real economy. But these costs are likely to be offset by the long-term benefits that a macroprudential policy intervention may generate as it reduces the probability of a future crisis.

    See De Carvalho and De Castro (2015), pp. 3–31, who found that macroprudential policy announcements have an impact on the gap between inflation expectations and the inflation target. In this respect, Wadhvani (2014), p. 442, argues that an increase of time-varying capital instruments will operate primarily through the spreads between the lending rate and the central bank’s policy rate. Due to this, such an increase could have a costly impact on inflation expectations.

  101. 101.

    For example, see Antipa and Matheron (2014), p. 227, arguing that time-varying capital buffers can increase the resilience of the banking system and contribute to the proper transmission of monetary policy. This is because the buffers can help maintain the provision of credit to the economy and reduce the depth of the downturn, thereby reducing the need for central banks to offset the effects of tighter credit conditions on output; Agenor, Alper, and Da Silva (2012), pp. 193–223, who show that combining central bank’s interest rate policy and a countercyclical capital requirement may be optimal for promoting overall economic stability. See also N’Diaye (2009), where the author explains that the introduction of a countercyclical capital buffer for banks can allow monetary authorities to achieve the same output and inflation objectives but with smaller adjustments in interest rates.

    Bech and Keister (2013), p. 3. The same argument is developed in ECB (2013), pp. 73–89, and Schmitz (2013), pp. 138–148, where the authors investigate the effect of the LCR introduced by Basel III for the monetary policy in the Euro area. According to Schmitz (2013), in particular, the LCR disincentivizes banks to lend and/or borrow on the unsecured money market. Therefore, more banks will participate in the open market operations of central banks. Similar concerns are expressed in Bindseil and Lamoot (2011), pp. 1–41.

    In particular, Bech and Keister (2013), p. 3, state that relevant factors influencing this interaction are (1) the liquidity surplus/deficit of the banking system, (2) the specific variables used to calculate the LCR requirement, (3) the term of the transaction, and (4) the counterparties involved. In ECB (2013), p. 80, it is argued that these factors include (1) the initial level of the LCR, (2) the nature of the collateral that is mobilized, (3) haircuts applied in the market, and (4) the extent to which some LCR constraints are binding.

    For a survey of UK mortgage market, see Bunn, Drapper, Rowe, and Shah (2015), pp. 358–361, where the authors found that the average mortgage debt of a British householder has risen to about £85,000 in 2015. Empirical proofs of mortgage debt relevance for the Netherlands can be found in the research paper of ABN-AMRO: Mortgage market in the Netherlands, May 2012, reporting that ‘The Netherlands scores high in terms of mortgage debt. In fact, with a mortgage debt stock equalling 108% of gross domestic product, the Netherlands ranks number one in the European Union’. Additional analysis is provided in De Nederlandsche Bank (2015), pp. 7–53. Similarly, in Sweden, household debt in the form of mortgages remains at very high levels—roughly 160% of disposable income on average in 2013—and is expanding, with net credit flows outpacing nominal GDP growth.

    For an empirical investigation of how these monetary policy-induced fluctuations in house prices affect private consumption and, thus, consumer prices and economic growth, with particular respect to EU countries, see Giuliodori (2005), pp. 519–543. The author found that house prices are significantly affected by changes in the policy interest rates and that residential asset values amplify these effects on consumptions in those countries where housing and mortgage markets are more developed. Similar investigations are conducted by Mishkin (2007), pp. 1–45; Ahearne, Ammer, Doyle, Kole, and Martin (2005), pp. 1–42, Assenmacher-Wesche and Gerlach (2008), pp. 1–33.

More precisely, the authors categorize the institutional models on the basis of the following criteria: (1) degree of institutional integration of central bank and financial regulatory functions; (2) ownership of macroprudential policy; (3) role of the treasury; (4) institutional separation of policy decisions from control over policy instruments; (5) existence of a separate body coordinating across policies to address systemic risk.

This rule can be expressed by the following simple formula: i = r +π + απ (π − πc) + αy (y − y*) + αs (f − f*), where the nominal interest rate of the central bank (i) is equal to the gap between inflation (π) and inflation target (πc), the difference between production (y) and its potential (y*), and the difference between a financial stability proxy (f) and a measure of the optimal/historical level of this financial stability proxy (f*), containing information from some asset prices and financial variables.

  200. 200.

    An empirical justification for such a proposal is provided in Cecchetti, Genberg, Lipsky, and Wadhwani (2000), pp. 72–73. An example of the adoption of such model is offered by the pre-2014 experience of Sweden. At that time, Sweden had no institutional framework for macroprudential policy. In order to reduce pressure on upward inflation, along with house prices and household debt, which were considered too high, the Swedish central bank had to rely exclusively on its monetary policy instruments and therefore raised its policy rate from 0.25% in June 2010 to 2% in July 2011. For details, see the Minutes of the Riksbank’s Executive Board’s Monetary Policy Meeting of 14 December 2010, available at http://www.riksbank.se/en/Press-and-published/Minutes-of-the-Executive-Boards-monetary-policy-meetings/2010/Minutes-of-the-Executive-Boards-monetary-policy-meeting-on-14December2004/.

  201. 201.

    The analytical results on the effects of the augmented Taylor rule in fact do not provide a sufficient justification for its introduction. For example, Kafer (2014), pp. 174–182, explains that there would have been little or no benefit for the ECB in using the augmented Taylor rule as developments across Euro area countries have been too heterogeneous. For the author, house price booms are primarily a national phenomenon; therefore a common monetary policy with an augmented Taylor rule would not have been well suited for the Eurozone to combat excessive credit growth.

    See Bernanke and Gertler (1999), pp. 17–44. In particular, some empirical studies found the leaning against the wind monetary policy too simplistic. For example, Laseen, Pescatori, and Turunen (2015), pp. 1–24, argue that such a policy approach may work only if the entire financial sector is procyclical. However, they found that procyclicality varies across countries and sectors over time. In addition, even in those cases where leverage is procyclical, an increase in the policy interest rates may exacerbate the initial asset price movements. Leaning against the wind without clearly distinguishing why leverage is increasing could lead to policy mistakes that may exacerbate financial stress and trigger a financial crisis.

    Nier, Osiński, Jácome, and Madrid (2011a), p. 10; Brockmeijer (2012), p. 166. As a corollary of this, ESRB (2014b), p. 15, states that an optimal coordination and balance of monetary and macroprudential policies can be easier if powers lie within the central bank. Against this backdrop, indeed, monetary policy must take account of the financial conditions which affect how monetary impulses are transmitted to the real economy. By the same token, macroprudential policy can respond to monetary policy effectively, since financial risks can arise when monetary policy targets inflation, particularly in an environment of low interest rates.

    An explanatory example is given in Deutsche Bundesbank (2015), at p. 68: ‘If monetary policy is responsible for both price stability and financial stability and if the latter is influenced by private-sector debt, for instance, it may initially be desirable for monetary policy to pursue a low inflation rate. However, following the onset of a financial shock, which gives rise to a high level of private-sector debt, for example, monetary policymakers could, under certain conditions, decide to reduce the real debt burden further down the line by allowing a higher rate of inflation.’

  264. 264.

    In particular, Section 1 of the Finanzstabilitätsgesetz assigns the following competences to the Committee: (1) discussing the factors that are key to financial stability; (2) strengthening cooperation between the institutions represented on the Financial Stability Committee in the event of a financial crisis; (3) advising on the handling of warnings and recommendations issued by the ESRB; (4) reporting annually to the lower house of Parliament, the Bundestag; and (5) issuing warnings and recommendations. The lack of hard-law measures on macroprudential policy—which are instead delegated to the Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin)—can be seen as a safeguard as to ensure that decisions with large distributional effects on the society are not direct responsibility of the Committee.

  265. 265.

    See Section 1(3) of the Finanzstabilitätsgesetz. In addition, the Committee includes also three members of BaFin, which is the authority directly responsible for the application of the macroprudential measure in the German jurisdiction.
