Abstract

Cette étude considère les principaux canaux de transmission et les effets de la politique monétaire en France durant les années 1970-80 à partir des enseignements des modèles économétriques les plus récents. Elle met en évidence le rôle plus important accordé par ces modèles aux taux d'intérêt plutôt qu'aux procédures de rationnements quantitatifs. Elle souligne les difficultés de prise en compte des anticipations dans le processus d'indexation salariale et les relations internationales, notamment au sein du SME. Elle confirme l'existence d'un impact significatif de la politique monétaire sur l'économie réelle et donc d'un coût non-négligeable en cas de politique désinflationiste, du moins à court-moyen terme. Les simulations de certains modèles suggèrent même un effet stagflationiste (production réduite et niveau des prix accru) dans le cas d'une hausse permanente des taux d'intérêts nominaux (exogènes) en régime de changes fixes, du fait notamment de l'hypothèse d'une forte ... This paper considers the main transmission channels and macroeconomic effects of monetary policy in France over the last decade, as described by the structure and the simulation properties of contemporary econometric models. In particular the paper emphasizes: a) the larger role attributed by model-builders to interest rates as compared to financial quantity constraints; b) the inadequate consideration given to expectations in the modelling of the wage indexation process and international linkages (especially with respect to the EMS); and c) the significant impact of monetary policy on the real economy and the importance of the real output costs which result from disinflationary policy, at least in the short to medium run. Moreover, policy simulation with some models suggests that a sustained exogeneous rise in nominal interest rates under fixed exchange rates would have a stagflationary impact (lower output, higher prices) because of the assumption that firms, which are highly ...
