摘要
In this paper, a simple identification technique is used to study the effects of monetary shocks in VAR models for the G-6 countries. Monetary shocks are identified by long-run cointegration restrictions and the assumption of long-run money neutrality. The short-run dynamics corresponding to a monetary shock are consistent with the predictions of monetary theory and can be interpreted as a monetary policy shock. The results suggest that the stock of money has an active role in the transmission mechanism. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
