Abstract

This paper considers a nonborrowed-monetary-base VAR and a targets and instrument framework favored by the monetarists to resolve the puzzles thrown up by monetary VAR studies. The results show that nonborrowed-monetary-base shocks produce responses consistent with a priori expectations about the effects of monetary policy on interest rates, prices, and output.
