Abstract: Motivated by the U.S. events of the 2000s, we address
whether a too low for too long interest rate policy may generate a
boom-bust cycle. We simulate anticipated and unanticipated monetary
policies in state-of-the-art DSGE models and in a model with bond financing
via a shadow banking system, in which the bond spread is calibrated for
normal and optimistic times. Our results suggest that the U.S. boom-bust
was caused by the combination of (i) interest rates that were too low for
too long, (ii) excessive optimism and (iii) a failure of agents to
anticipate the extent of the abnormally favourable conditions.
