This thesis contains three chapters. All chapters study different aspects of macroeconomic policy. The first chapter studies discretionary monetary policy in an economy where economic agents have quasi-hyperbolic discounting. It demonstrates that a benevolent central bank is able to keep inflation under control for a wide range of discount factors. If the central bank, however, does not adopt the household's time preferences and tries to discourage early-consumption and delayed-saving, then a marginal increase in steady state output is achieved at the cost of a much higher average inflation rate. Indeed, it shows that it is desirable from a welfare perspective for the central bank to quasi-hyperbolically discount by more than households do. Welfare is improved because this discount structure emphasizes the current-period cost of price changes and leads to lower average inflation. It contrasts the results with those obtained when policy is conducted according to a Taylor-type rule. The second chapter analyses the effect of endogenous discounting on wealth inequality in an endowment economy with heterogeneous agents, subject to occasionally binding borrowing constraint. It demonstrates that introduction of Uzawa-type preferences may launch a strong redistribution mechanism leading to high equilibrium real interest rate and a more dispersed wealth distribution in comparison to the model with standard preferences. The third chapter studies macroprudential policy in a macro-model with a heterogeneous banking sector, prone to asymmetric information and moral hazard a la Boissay et.al. (2016). This model is shown to generate financial crises when a sequence of small positive technology shocks can lead to an increase in lending, as well as to a reduction in all market rates. This paper investigates a scope for a macroprudential policy that would reduce probability of a financial crisis, but not lead to a too sharp reduction in a social welfare. It demonstrates that the introduction of a direct proportional tax on interbank lending can substantially reduce the amount of credit and reduce probability of a financial crisis.

Essays on Macroprudential Policy and Financial Stability: The Case of South Africa T. E. Molise Department of Economics University of Stellenbosch Private Bag X1, Matieland 7602 , South Africa. Dissertation: PhD (Economics) March 2020 This thesis contributes to the literature on macroprudential policies for the South African econ-omy.
This thesis investigates the evolution of macroprudential policy, its objectives and effects on the financial sector with emphasis on the differences between advanced countries and emerging market economies.
Macroprudential policy has thus become an overarching public policy in achieving financial stability across the world. This new perspective has generated profound changes and impacts on our understanding of how the whole economy functions when the effects of financial policies and actions are taken into account, the role of monetary policy in the presence of macroprudential policies and the ...
Abstract This thesis evaluates the efficiency of macroprudential policy tools by analysing their effect on credit growth. Two models are being used to analyse the effects of the policy tools on credit growth. At first an IV approach which results in a weak instrument. Additionally, there is a simply dynamic panel data analysis. Both methods get compared and results suggest that the policy tool ...
A panel OLS regression model with monetary policy surprises as measure for the monetary policy stance is employed to exogenously identify the interaction effect. Controlling for bank-specific and country-specific characteristics, the findings show that macroprudential and monetary policy counteract each other in mitigating bank risk.
this thesis investigates the interaction between monetary policy and macroprudential policy in a macroeconomic model with credit supply shock. Precisely, the chapter measures policy performance when the conventional monetary policy interacts with the capital adequacy ratio and the loan-to-value ratio.
This paper builds a novel database on the effects of macroprudential policy drawing from 58 empirical studies, comprising over 6,000 results on a wide range of instruments and outcome variables. It encompasses information on statistical significance, standardized magnitudes, and other characteristics of the estimates.
In my thesis, I investigate risks that lead to financial instability and the role macroprudential regulations can play to contain those risks. In the first chapter, I study whether macroprudential policies can adequately address financial stability concerns. The key finding is that interest rate is the tool with a consistently significant and larger impact on bank lending compared to reserve ...

This thesis consists of six chapters focusing on unconventional monetary policy and macroprudential policy. Chapter 1 introduces the motivation for the thesis. Chapter 2 provides the theoretical background and literature review. The subsequent three chapters, chapters 3, 4, and 5, are the core chapters in the thesis.
In this dissertation, I focus on macroeconomic and macroprudential policies. In Chapter 1, I study the effectiveness of macroprudential policy tools on bank risk. The findings show that although macroprudential policy tools can stabilize the financial system, under certain conditions, they might have perverse effects.
Ideally, with macroprudential policies perfectly targeting the sources of threats to financial stability, monetary policy should remain primarily focused on price and output stability. That said, even in this ideal world, the conduct of both policies will need to take into account the effects they have on each other's main objectives.
Abstract This thesis contributes to the emerging literature of macroprudential policy by investigating the macroeconomic and welfare impacts of various regulations in banking sector. First, I examine the long-run impact of government subsidies on the bank's information costs by evaluating the combination of different types of subsidies and taxes.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT : This thesis contributes to the literature on macroprudential policies for the South African economy. The main goal of the thesis is to enhance our understanding on how macroprudentialpolicies work, their effectiveness, transmission channels and their interaction with the monetarypolicy.
In this dissertation, I study the international interactions of financial regulations and the macroeconomic implications of accounting for the borderless dimension of these policies when designing macroprudential coordinated policy frameworks. In the first chapter, I revise empirically whether there is evidence supporting the existence of strategic policy interactions between regulators based ...
Macroprudential policy involves the dynamic adjustment of parameters of a regulatory nature. This tilt of policy towards cyclical risks is new and less established, bringing attention to governance arrangements.
Abstract Chapter 1 studies the optimal regulation of a banking system in a quantitative general equilibrium environment with endogenously incomplete markets. Financial intermediaries issue deposits to households under limited liability and with limited enforcement, invest in the real economy with state-contingent returns, and face survival risk. Pecuniary externalities affect the forward ...
The global financial crisis (GFC) underscored the need for additional policy tools to safeguard financial stability and ultimately macroeconomic stability. Systemic financial vulnerabilities had developed under a seemingly tranquil macroeconomic surface of low inflation and small output gaps. This challenged the precrisis view that achieving these traditional policy targets was a sufficient ...
The ultimate goal of macroprudential policy is to prevent and reduce the costs of systemic financial crises, and thus contribute to promoting sustainable economic growth. However, despite the active role played by such policies in recent decades, there is still limited empirical evidence regarding whether prudential regulation is effective to ...
This thesis propose three essays concerning macroprudential policy: The first summarizes the main concepts related to macroprudential policy discussed in the economics literature after the 2008 financial crisis.
The third chapter studies macroprudential policy in a macro-model with a heterogeneous banking sector, prone to asymmetric information and moral hazard a la Boissay et.al. (2016).
By smoothing the financial cycle, macroprudential policies are meant to ensure a sustainable contribution of the financial sector to economic growth. Just as preventive healthcare hit the headlines in the COVID-19 crisis, the financial crisis of 2008 put. macroprudential policy in the spotlight.
This paper examines the interactions of macroprudential policy and monetary policy in a New Keynesian DSGE model with financial frictions. Macroprudential policy can stabilize credit cycles. However, a macroprudential instrument that aims to stabilize a specific segment of the credit market can cause regulatory arbitrage, that is, a reallocation of credit to a less regulated part of the market ...
