Motivation
The integration of the financial sector vulnerability into macroeconomic models is an area of important and growing interest for policymakers.
This paper analyze the explicit inclusion of credit risk/financial fragility indicator in the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) Reaction Function.
The main question is: Should a financial fragility indicator be included in monetary policy models? In particular, should it be explicitly included in the reaction function?
Or, should the central bank react only indirectly through reacting to its effects on inflation and output gap?
4 B A N C O C E N T R A L D E C H I L E 28 DE MAYO DE 2008
Motivation
The economy (interest rates) and the financial sector (assets and liabilities) affect each other, as evidences the US economy over the past year.
This paper uses contingent claims analysis (CCA) tools, developed in finance, to estimate the risk of default in the banking sector as proxy for financial sector vulnerability.

Contingent Claims Analysis Modern finance theory is used to combine
forward-looking market prices (e.g. equity prices) and balance sheet data to “calibrate” the implicit value of the assets and asset volatility (Merton,1974).
Liabilities derive their value from assets, which are stochastic.
The “calibrated” CCA model is used to calculate credit risk indicators, such as distance-to-distress, default probabilities, expected losses on debt (implicit put option), credit spreads, value of risk debt.
7 B A N C O C E N T R A L D E C H I L E 28 DE MAYO DE 2008
Contingent Claims Analysis Banks lend to households, companies, and
the government. Households own equity, government guarantees bank deposits.
Interlinked CCA balance sheets for corporates, households, banks and government can be constructed.
Risky debt of firms is an asset of the banks. Gov. contingent liabilities to banks are modeled as an implicit put option (Merton 1977).
This model does not include corporate & households.
8 B A N C O C E N T R A L D E C H I L E 28 DE MAYO DE 2008
Interlinked CCA
Interlinked CCA risk-adjusted balance sheets are a useful tool for understanding: Financial accelerator mechanisms – increased bank
deposits, increased lending to corporate and households, higher investment and consumption leading to higher GDP.
Credit risk transmission – slower GDP, lower corporate and household assets, lower value of risky debt (from larger implicit put options/spreads), lower bank assets, higher credit risk in banks (e.g. lower distance-to-distress), higher contingent liabilities of government.

CCA Applied to Chilean Banking System
GDP is affected by financial stability in the banking system.
Financial distress in banks and bank’s borrowers reduces lending as borrower’s credit risk increases, which reduces investment and consumption affecting GDP.
There are a number of different financial stability credit risk indicators.
17 B A N C O C E N T R A L D E C H I L E 28 DE MAYO DE 2008
CCA Applied to Chilean Banking System
This study uses the distance-to-distress for the banking system (dtd for each mayor public traded bank, weighted by the bank’s implied assets).
Chile’s estimation of the output gap shows that a credit risk indicator (distance to default) is significant and has a positive effect on the output gap.
18 B A N C O C E N T R A L D E C H I L E 28 DE MAYO DE 2008
Monetary Policy Model
The primary tool for macroeconomic management is the interest rates set by the Central Bank.
Simple monetary policy models are widely used by Central Banks to understand macroeconomic and interest rate relationships as well as to forecast.
Traditionally, central banks (models) target inflation and GDP-gap.
19 B A N C O C E N T R A L D E C H I L E 28 DE MAYO DE 2008
Monetary Policy Model
This paper uses a simple five equation monetary policy model, with two modules:
1. Macro Monetary Policy Module.2. CCA Financial System Module.
This model begins by including the financial stability credit risk indicator (banking system distance to distress) in the output gap equation.
The model is calibrated with reasonable parameters (instead of estimated).

Monetary Policy Model
Thus the model includes a GDP-gap equation and a Taylor Rule equation which includes financial stability indicator.
The remaining three equations are for inflation, exchange rate, and the yield curve.
The model was also run with a exchange rate equation (interest parity condition) that includes the financial fragility indicator (dtd- arbitrage, country risk premium).

CCA Endogeneity
DTD and GDP-gap affect each other.
In order to include this into the model, we define one last equation where the value of the equity depends on the GDP-gap.
This beta is a macro factor.
The model is also run without this effect.

Impulse Response Function (IRF)
IR is the standard tool to analyze the behavior of a model (we are not presenting standard deviations).
The model needs to be solved using the Gauss-Seidel (GS) algorithm and Fair-Taylor (FT) for calculating the expectations. Starting from a fix value (zero), it iterates until a
the solution is achieved. This solve the Macro Model and also the asset’s
level & volatility. So, for each period of time, the model solves a
system of equations for the current and expected value of the main variables (FT).
25 B A N C O C E N T R A L D E C H I L E 28 DE MAYO DE 2008
Impulse Responses
The impulse responses are obtained using Winsolve.
In each case a response of GDP, inflation, exchange rate, r (MPR) and R are shown for a shock of 100 bp in each variable.
In addition, the response of the CCA (DTD) variables is shown.
The basic model is the classic Taylor Rule (theta=0.5, rho=0.6 & gamma =0.6).
We added a reaction of the monetary policy to the DTD, with a coefficient equal to 0.5.

Impulse Response Conclusions
The model works as expected: signs and magnitudes seem reasonable.
There is high interaction of macro variables, but they do not affect very much DTD.
DTD have a high impact on MPR, R and Output-Gap.
Real exchange rate could be unstable for some specifications of the model.
33 B A N C O C E N T R A L D E C H I L E 28 DE MAYO DE 2008
Efficiency Frontiers
Different stochastic simulated scenarios are solved, for different monetary policy rules.
MPR that reacts to Financial Fragility (DTD) is compared with the Non-Policy case.
A variance-covariance matrix is set, given the standard error from the regression and some judgment (for simplicity we set all the standard deviations to 1bp).
Each set of monetary rules is solved for different values of gamma: the relative reaction to inflation and GDP (output gap).
34 B A N C O C E N T R A L D E C H I L E 28 DE MAYO DE 2008
Efficiency Frontiers
This process generates a frontier for the steady state volatility of GDP and inflation.
A base scenario is set where there is no reaction of the monetary policy to DTD, but GDP and exchange rate still react to it.
Shocks to DTD could be understood as shocks to risk appetite.
Starting from a Base Model a higher reaction to DTD and lower endogeneity are tested.
Then several features are turned off simultaneously.

Magnitude of the Pass- through reaction of MPR to output gap and inflation (↑Effect → ↓Frontier).

43 B A N C O C E N T R A L D E C H I L E 28 DE MAYO DE 2008
Results and Conclusions
A simple, but powerful model for monetary policy. The model has the main variables analyzed by policymakers, but is small enough to understand it easily.
Empirical evidence supports the model. IRF in accordance with theory. Robust efficient frontier, but there is a
trade off in the results. A stronger reaction to DTD reduces inflation
volatility but increases output volatility.
44 B A N C O C E N T R A L D E C H I L E 28 DE MAYO DE 2008
Next Steps / To Follow
Combinations of financial scenarios (strong, normal, fragility) should be incorporated.
Changes in the dynamic of the macro model should be tested (maybe move to DGE).
More realistic Variance-Covariance matrix.
Look for empirical evidence in other countries and comparison of the model with other economies.
