The liquidity effect: Evidence from the U.S

Author

Listed:
  • Crowder, William J.

Abstract

Using a simple cointegrated vector autoregression (VAR) I find strong evidence for a liquidity effect at policy relevant time horizons with a broad monetary aggregate. The liquidity effect is present for both nominal and real interest rates.
