Nonlinear interest rate-setting behaviour of German commercial banks
Keyword(s):
AbstractWe quantitatively analyse the interest rate-setting behaviour of German commercial banks during the period 2003–2014, using nonlinear (smooth transition) cointegration approaches. Our empirical results reveal principles applied by commercial banks in (re-)gaining margins in the aftermath of the financial crisis. We substantiate our findings using economic arguments from a bank management perspective. As our study contributes to a better understanding of the pass-through mechanism from market to commercial banks’ customer interest rates, the results will also be relevant to meaningful assessments of the effectiveness of monetary policy measures.
