The Effects of the Bank of Japan's Zero Interest Rate Commitment and
Quantitative Monetary Easing on the Yield Curve: A Macro-Finance Approach *
April 2005

*Abstract* This paper provides an empirical investigation of monetary policy
in Japan in the zero interest rate environment that has held sway since
1999. In particular, we focus on the effects of the zero interest rate
commitment and of quantitative monetary easing on medium- to long-term
interest rates in Japan. In the study we apply a version of the
macro-finance approach, involving a combination of estimation of a
structural macro-model and calibration of time-variant parameters to the
yield curve observed in the market. This enables us to decompose interest
rates into expectations and risk premium components and simultaneously to
extract the market's perception of the Bank of Japan's (BOJ's) willingness
to carry on its zero interest rate policy. In the analysis we make clear the
counterfactual policy that would have been practiced in the absence of the
actual policies followed by the BOJ since 1999. From this analysis, we
tentatively conclude that the BOJ's monetary policy since 1999 has
functioned mainly through the zero interest rate commitment, which has led
to declines in medium- to long-term interest rates. We also find some
evidence that, up until the end of 2003, raising the reserve target may have
been perceived as a signal indicating the BOJ's accommodative policy stance
although the size of the effect is not large. The portfolio rebalancing
effect -- either by the BOJ's supplying ample liquidity or by its purchases
of long-term government bonds -- has not been found to be significant.
