Working Paper

Monetary policy in a world without perfect capital markets


Abstract: This working paper examines a theoretical model in which an entrepreneur?s net worth affects his ability to finance current activity. Net worth, in turn, is determined by asset prices, which can be affected by monetary policy. In this environment, the central bank plays a welfare-improving role by responding to asset price and technology shocks.
