One important aspect of the zero interest rate policy is that an exogenous monetary easing will not result in any further movement in the interest rate when the rate is already on the zero bound. Therefore, while the stance of monetary policy can be directly measured by the interest rate when it is positive, the interest rate at zero is no longer an Estimating Monetary Policy Effects When Interest Rates Are Close To Zero Article in Journal of Monetary Economics 53(7):1395-1408 · October 2006 with 29 Reads How we measure 'reads' We find that when interest rates are at zero, the output effect of exogenous shocks to monetary policy is cut in half if the central bank continues to target the interest rate.
