Abstract

This paper examines the role of financial frictions in affecting the transmission of U.S. real and financial shocks to Canada using a dynamic stochastic general‐equilibrium model with an active banking sector and financial frictions. We find that the U.S. banking and interbank markets can be a potentially important source of variability of Canadian output and inflation—consistent with the financial crisis. The presence of both the demand and the real supply sides of credit in the model help to capture the stylized facts of both the domestic and the international business cycles. Le texte examine le rôle des frictions financières dans la transmission de chocs réels et financiers des États‐Unis vers le Canada à l'aide d'un modèle d’équilibre général dynamique et stochastique quand existent un secteur bancaire actif et des frictions financières. On découvre que le système bancaire et les marchés interbanques américains peuvent être une source potentiellement importante de variabilité du produit et de l'inflation au Canada – comme on l'a observé dans la crise financière récente. La présence à la fois de la demande et de l'offre de crédit dans le modèle aide à capter les faits stylisés des cycles d'affaires domestiques et internationaux.
