Interest rate pass-through in the euro area: The effect of financial crisis
Rybák, Jakub ; Horváth, Roman (advisor) ; Hayat, Arshad (referee)
In this study we analyze the impact of the financial crisis on interest rate pass-through in the euro area. By applying a wide range of econometric techniques, including both univariate and multivariate models to estimate cointegration relationships between retail and policy rates and related short-term adjustment processes we find out that the financial crisis has led to the increased spread between market and policy rates, which has not been corrected by central bank policies so far. We also find evidence of cross-country heterogeneity in both pre-crisis pass-through and crisis effects. In addition to this, for many retail rates we find an evidence of two-way Granger causality with respect to policy rates, indicating the accommodative policy of ECB following the market disruptions. We also estimate the timing of shocks to transmission mechanism and our results suggest that they are not distributed tightly around September 2008, but rather vary widely across the sample.
Interest Rate Pass-Through: Does It Change with Financial Distress? The Czech Experience
Kazaziová, Gledis ; Horváth, Roman (advisor) ; Krištoufek, Ladislav (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the behavior of the interest rate transmission from money market rates to bank retail rates on the Czech banking market during the period from January 2004 to November 2010, and to detect potential changes occurred as a result of the current financial crisis. Using Ordinary Least Squares, Recursive Coefficients estimates and Impulse Response analysis we explore that bank retail rates reflect Pribor rate changes more strongly than changes in Euribor rates. We reveal that interest rate pass-through is rather incomplete and sluggish in the majority of cases and the adjustment level decreases noticeably during the period influenced by the financial crises.
