The smaller trading partner is subjected to fluctuations in both the international terms of trade and the larger trading partner’s money price of its domestically produced goods. The Unseen Consequences of Zero-Interest-Rate Policy. In a dynamic economy, an action not only triggers just one effect, but always an entire series of different consequences. While the cause of the first effect is easily recognizable, the other effects often occur only later and no such recognition occurs. 12 An important recent example of a conditional commitment is the zero-interest- rate-policy (ZIRP) of the Bank of Japan (BOJ). The BOJ’s policy rate, the call rate, was reduced to a level “as low as possible”—to zero, for all practical purposes—in February 1999. monetary policy rate decrease below the reversal interest rate depresses rather than stimu-lates the economy. Importantly, the reversal interest rate is not necessarily zero, as commonly assumed. In our model, when the reversal interest rate is positive, say 1%, a policy rate cut from 1% to 0.9% is already contractionary.

Many observers have appealed to real factors such as aging demographics to explain the low level of long-term interest rates. unconstrained negative interest rate policy as a long-term solution to the zero bound on interest rates (or more precisely the near zero effective lower bound.) We shall argue that if negative interest rate policy can be implemented, it would be by far the most elegant and stable long-term (2011) showed that zero interest rate policy by the BOJ caused the short-term interest rate to fall to zero and was somewhat effective at reducing the size of the spread in the call market.
