The central banks' non-standard monetary policy: quantitative easing
Čáp, Daniel ; Koderová, Jitka (advisor) ; Osička, Štěpán (referee)
The thesis deals with non-standard monetary policies of three central banks throughout the global financial crisis. The reason for using non-standard measures was also liquidity trap when monetary policy becomes ineffective. An important milestone was collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers in September 2008. The central banks carried out some non-standard measures before the collapse such as the emergence of new or expanding existing facilities. However, after the collapse there was panic at the financial and capital markets and market interest rate spreads rose. Central banks were forced to respond to expanding its balance sheet and reducing the monetary policy rate to zero. The main reason for increasing total assets was securities purchases by central banks. The measure, which is expanding the balance sheet is called quantitative easing. In the thesis I try to describe and compare the non-standard measures (with a focus on quantitative easing) taken by the three central banks (Bank of England, the Fed and the ECB) and answer the question whether the measures are effective and whether they can replace the standard monetary policy.
Below Zero: Economics of Negative Interest Rate
Stroukal, Dominik ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Špecián, Petr (referee)
This paper discusses the issue of negative nominal interest rate. Consistent following of Taylor's rule may lead to recommendations to adjust the interest rate below its zero bound. Although the negative nominal interest rate is considered to be impossible, proposals that can make it possible are presented. Their common impact is raising the cost of holding money. It is proven that without a statutory anchor and enforcement this policy of raising the cost of holding money cannot work. Since the originary rate of interest cannot be negative, the whole concept of negative nominal interest rates is only an unconventional form of taxation.
