Monetary policy shocks in Canada impact real output and exchange rates
The study looked at how changes in interest rates affect Canada's economy. They used a model to see how monetary policy impacts real output through interest rates and exchange rates. The study found that interest rate changes affect the economy, but don't cause a big difference in exchange rates. Also, the response of the money supply doesn't exactly match the interest rate changes. Lastly, Canada's economy is influenced by the US federal funds rate and external factors.
