摘要
This article provides new evidence on the effects of monetary policy in the euro area. With the help of a time-varying coefficient vector autoregressive model we find that monetary policy shocks have had a greater impact on real output since the mid-1980s and that their transmission has become faster. Our findings indicate a change in the monetary transmission mechanism that can be explained by the changes in the European financial system over the last 20 years.
