Abstract

Applying the monetary policy function, this paper finds that real GDP in Bangladesh is positively associated with real deprecation, real financial stock price, and world output and negatively influenced by the world real interest rate. The coefficient of the ratio of government consumption spending to nominal GDP is insignificant, suggesting that expansionary fiscal policy may not be effective.
