• Monetary Policy Transmission amid Demand Reallocations

  Staff Working Paper 2024-42 Julien Bengui, Lu Han, Gaelan MacKenzie

  We analyze the transmission of monetary policy during different phases of a sectoral demand reallocation episode when there are frictions to increasing production in a sector. Monetary policy is more effective in reducing inflation when a larger proportion of sectors are expanding or expect to expand in the near future.

• Monetary Policy Transmission to Small Business Loan Performance: Evidence from Loan-Level Data

  Staff Working Paper 2024-41 Rodrigo Sekkel, Tamon Takamura, Yaz Terajima

  We analyze the dynamic and heterogeneous responses of small-business loan performance to a monetary-policy shock using loan-level data in Canada. We find evidence of monetary policy transmission through the cash-flow channel and the aggregate demand channel as well as some, though limited, impact of collateral to discipline loan repayment.
