Monetary Policy Spillovers in the Global Economy
Abstract: Understanding cross-border interdependencies and inspecting the international transmission mechanism of policy shocks is the raison d’être of open-economy macroeconomics as an intellectual discipline. The relevance for the policy debate is pervasive: over and over in the history of the international monetary system national policymakers have pointed at — and voiced concerns about—the effects of policy actions undertaken in foreign countries on the outlook and financial conditions in their own domestic economies. The most recent example involves the spillovers of tighter monetary policies aimed at addressing the inflationary spikes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. In this three-part series, we provide a non-technical introduction to the multifaceted literature on global spillovers, building in particular on our own research. This post introduces the subject and offers an overview of the classic transmission channels.
