Household debt, macroprudential rules, and monetary policy

Abstract: Today's Canadian economy features a historic high of household debt and persistently low growth rate. The average debt-to-GDP ratio has reached the level experienced in the U.S. just prior to the recent financial crisis. Should monetary policy lean against the household indebtedness or are macroprudential policies better suited for the task? To provide a quantitative answer, this paper develops a small open economy dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model featuring a banking sector that channels funds betw… Show more

“…In line with the literature ( e.g . Quint and Rabanal, 2014; Bailliu et al ., 2015; Gelain and Ilbas, 2017; Turdaliev and Zhang, 2019), we first estimate the model using South African data to pin down the values of the parameters that are not standard in the literature and to capture the silent features of the South African economy. We then use the parameter estimates obtained from the estimation to conduct simulation exercises in the rest of the paper.…”

“…This finding is consistent with studies that advocate a separation of responsibilities for monetary and macroprudential policies, such as Svensson (2012), Gelain et al . (2013), Suh (2014), Svensson (2017) and Turdaliev and Zhang (2019).…”

“…Impatient households are subject to an additional borrowing constraint. Depending on monetary policy and legal regulations, this translates into an increase in HHs debt [Zhang 2019;Turdaliev, Zhang 2019;Alpanda, Zubairy 2017]. Meng et al [2011] in the model of HHs debt as variables used: HHs debtseasonally adjusted quarterly data, measured as at the end of quarter (ii) gross domestic product (GDP) -seasonally adjusted quarterly data, (iii) consumer price index (CPI), (iv) house price index (HPI), (v) interest rate -quarterly average monthly data, (vi) unemployment rate -quarterly average monthly data, (vii) population size (quarterly estimated), (viii) number of new dwellings (houses and flats).…”

“…In order to curb the rise in debt levels, the priority areas are the implementation of a monetary policy that responds to household debt and macroprudential policies. It is to reduce the borrowing limit ratio to its value (Turdaliev & Zhang, 2019).…”
