1 Monetary Policy and Financial System During Demographic Change: Three questions Gauti B. Eggertsson Brown University
2 1. Can demographic change account for worldwide decline in interest rate? 2. What is the impact of aging on GDP per capita? 3. What is the role for monetary and fiscal policy when fall in interest rate driven by demographic change?
3 Mar-89 Dec-89 Sep-90 Jun-91 Mar-92 Dec-92 Sep-93 Jun-94 Mar-95 Dec-95 Sep-96 Jun-97 Mar-98 Dec-98 Sep-99 Jun-00 Mar-01 Dec-01 Sep-02 Jun-03 Mar-04 Dec-04 Sep-05 Jun-06 Mar-07 Dec-07 Sep-08 Jun-09 Mar-10 Dec-10 Sep-11 Jun-12 Mar-13 Dec-13 Sep-14 Jun Nominal Long Term Rates 5 years 1. Can demographic change account for worldwide decline in interest rate? Japan Germany US UK Eurozone
4 Quantitative evaluation Eggertsson, Mehrotra, Robbins (AEJ-macro 2019) 80 generation OLG model Calibrated to US data mortality rates, income profiles Life expectancy Productivity Public debt Bottom-line: Permanently negative rates well possible and consistent with current demographic and productivity configurations Calibrate the model to 2015: Can we explain the fall in interest rates? Yes What is the role of demographics
5 Quantitative evaluation Eggertsson, Mehrotra, Robbins (AEJ-macro 2019) Quantitative Result: Can account for a permanently negative real interest rate for standard parameter values calibrated to US data. Implication: No reason to expect normalization in real interest rate Current FOMC projection is that long run is +1% real rate. Paper -1.47% Implication: May very well be hitting the ZLB again and again in the future if calibration is reasonable 5

10 Good news and bad Good news: Aging can actually lead to higher living standard. Bad news: This happens via lower real interest rate which cannot always take place due to ZLB

12 What is the impact of aging on GDP per capita? Eggertsson, Lancaster, Summers (AER-Insight 2019) Aging does not have negative effect on output per capital provided interest rate can flexibly adjust to accommodate capital deepening. If the ZLB prevents this adjustment, aging unambiguously lead to slower growth in GDO per capita environment of secular stagnation
13 3. What can monetary and fiscal policy policy do? 0 > r t n< r t Natural or neutral rate Fiscal Policy -- more debt? Unconventional MP -- unconventional MP Equilibrium rate Monetary Policy r t = i t E t π t+1 Negative policy rates? Higher Inflation Target
14 Fiscal policy and unconventional policy We saw very large increase in debt needed in quantitative model More than 200 percent of GDP!! Offsetting effect of expectations of fiscal crisis? Garga (2018) Evidence for the effect of unconventional monetary policy in absence financial crisis mixed at best.
15 Negative Interest Rates and the Bank Lending Channel Eggertsson, Juelsrud, Summers and Wold (2019, NBER WP) Cut in policy rate filter into interbank market X Deposit rates of banks offer to customer go down X Lending rates go down
16 Negative Interest Rates and the Bank Lending Channel Eggertsson, Juelsrud, Summers and Wold (2019, NBER WP)
17 Negative Interest Rates and the Bank Lending Channel Eggertsson, Juelsrud, Summers and Wold (2019, NBER WP) Deposit rates are bounded by zero!
18 Negative Interest Rates and the Bank Lending Channel Eggertsson, Juelsrud, Summers and Wold (2019, NBER WP) Lending rates increased rather than decreased as interest rate became very negative!
19 Higher Inflation Target forwards guidance Eggertsson, Mehrotra, Robbins (AEJ-macro 2019 r t = i t E t π t+1 Key new insight of secular stagnation literature: Forward guidance about interest rates useless Raising inflation target does nothing if not high enough. Increasing inflation target only allows for a new equilibrium does not guarantee it.
20 Conclusion Persistently low interest rate raise challenges that I think remain unresolved. The solution that was proposed at the very beginning of Japan problems in 1990 s still seems the right one: Higher inflation. Why has no-one experimented with it? One issue not touched upon on: Many countries at the ZLB give perverse incentive to trade wars due to negative externality of current account surpluses.
