Abstract: This paper collects new evidence on the monetary transmission mechanism. This evidence is obtained from the study of the effects that unexpected monetary policy shocks exert on the activity of the manufacturing sectors in 5 OECD countries (France, Germany, Italy, UK and USA). The goal is twofold. First, to document the cross-industry heterogeneity of monetary policy effects. Second, to explain this heterogeneity in terms of some industry characteristics which are suggested by theory. The results highlight a wide variation of the policy effects across industries. It is shown that these differences can be partly explained by industrial features pointed to both by the interest rate channel (e.g. the durability of the output produced in each industry) and by the credit channel (e.g. the borrowing capacity of firms').

Ignazio Angeloni,Anil K. Kashyap,Anil K. Kashyap,Anil K. Kashyap,Benoit Mojon,Daniele Terlizzese +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus mainly on three questions: (1) what are the stylised facts concerning the transmission of monetary policy for the area as a whole and for individual countries? (2) can the classic interest rate channel alone, without capital market imperfections, explain these facts? (3) if not, is the bank lending channel a likely candidate to complete the story?

Some International Evidence on Output-Inflation Tradeoffs.
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an empirical study of real output-inflation tradeoffs, based on annual time-series from eighteen countries over the years 1951-67, were examined from the point of view of the hypothesis that average real output levels are invariant under changes in the time pattern of the rate of inflation.

Monetary Policy Shocks: What Have We Learned and to What End?
TL;DR: This paper reviewed recent research that grapples with the question: What happens after an exogenous shock to monetary policy? They argue that this question is interesting because it lies at the center of a particular approach to assessing the empirical plausibility of structural economic models that can be used to think about systematic changes in monetary policy institutions and rules.
