Monetary policy in Israel impacts inflation and unemployment rates significantly.
The article examines how monetary policy in Israel affected unemployment and prices from 1990 to 1999 using a specific method. Two models were considered, with one showing that tightening monetary policy led to lower inflation and higher unemployment. Supply shocks were found to be the main reason for unemployment changes, with monetary policy playing a role in certain periods. The second model, with nominal frictions, was deemed more suitable for describing Israel's economy during the study period.
