摘要
The responsiveness of house prices to monetary policy shocks depends on the nature of the shock-expansionary versus contractionary-and on local housing supply elasticities. These findings are established using a panel of 263 US metropolitan areas. Expansionary monetary policy shocks have a larger impact on house prices in supply-inelastic areas. Contractionary shocks are orthogonal to housing supply elas-ticities. In supply-elastic areas, contractionary shocks have a greater impact on house prices than expansionary shocks do. The opposite holds true in supply-inelastic areas. We attribute this to asymmetric housing supply adjustments. (JEL E32, E43, E52, R21, R31)
