By estimating a Markov-switching model, we provide new evidence on the nonlinear e¤ects of monetary policy shocks on asset prices and on their bubble component. We show that regime- dependence is mainly driven by the states a¤ecting the interest rate equation. We also show that, following a positive interest rate shock, an OLG model of asset price bubbles with credit frictions and sticky prices may predict an increase in the real rate, a recession/de‡ation and an increase in the bubble value.

Abstract

By estimating a Markov-switching model, we provide new evidence on the nonlinear e¤ects of monetary policy shocks on asset prices and on their bubble component. We show that regime- dependence is mainly driven by the states a¤ecting the interest rate equation. We also show that, following a positive interest rate shock, an OLG model of asset price bubbles with credit frictions and sticky prices may predict an increase in the real rate, a recession/de‡ation and an increase in the bubble value. This result, which is new to the theoretical literature, matches both the previously existing and our empirical evidence.
