The focus of the study is on case two. The simulated response of aggregate demand to two such deviations of the same magnitude but differing duration is compared in two models: the latest version of RDX2 and a monetarist reduced-form model. This permits the estimation of a possible range with respect to the magnitude and timing of changes in aggregate spending due to deviations from a desired monetary growth path.}, url = {http://www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca/record/4256}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.34989/tr-12}, }
