Abstract

Using a panel ARDL model, this study evaluated the long and short relationships between domestic credit, governance indicator quality, and finance development indicators. The results showed that better governance improves monetary policy transmission over the long term for the majority of specifications. Furthermore, finance development has a positive and significant impact. However, the results imply that the impact of central bank monetary policy on credit to the private sector is unclear for the vast majority of estimated specifications. This confirms that the bank credit channel models of Bernanke and Blinder (1988) fail to explain how monetary policy is transmitted in low- and middle-income countries.
