Extract

In this paper we present an econometric model for the determination of the Belgian short term interest rate. The different behavioral equations will be estimated. Our approach differs in this respect from the studies of other Belgian authors (e.g. Clavijo-Kervyn, Société Générale de Banque, Hernandez Lopez) who have estimated a reduced form for the short term interest rate. The estimation of a structural model allows us to capture structural aspects and to take specific monetary policy instruments into account. It is therefore also easier to analyse the channels through which monetary policy instruments influence the short term interest rate.
