Bank lending surveys by central banks, however, contain reliable quarterly information on changes in loan conditions due to bank, Ã rm and household balance sheet strength and on changes in loan demand. Using the U.S. and the unique Euro area surveys, we find that the credit channel amplifies a monetary policy shock on GDP and prices, through the balance-sheets of households, firms and banks. For corporate loans, amplification is highest through the bank lending and the borrowerÃs balance sheet channel; for households, demand is the strongest channel.application/pdfengL'accés als continguts d'aquest document queda condicionat a l'acceptació de les condicions d'ús establertes per la següent llicència Creative CommonsTrusting the bankers: A new look at the credit channel of monetary policyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPapercredit channelfirm and household balance-sheet channelsbank lending channelcredit crunchcredit supplymonetary policy.Finance and Accountinginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
