Description | The aim of this paper is to investigate the impacts and effectiveness of the monetary policy in the Polish economy during the last 14 years. Furthermore, we are interested in the effects of the Great Recession, which was caused by the financial crisis in 2007, on the behavior of key macroeconomic variables. To achieve our goals, we choose and estimate a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model specified for a small open economy. The model is characterized by an explicitly defined labor market. The model version of this sector of the economy contains several frictions in form of a search and matching function, wage adjustment costs, hiring costs and wage bargaining processes. We implement a few different Taylor-type equations, which represent the decision making rule of the monetary authority. This approach helps us identify the main relationships, which the monetary policy maker takes into consideration while setting the interest rates. We then examine the impacts of monetary policy shock on the output and labor market. |
