		Contractionary or tight money policy is the reverse of an easy policy: Excess reserves fall, the money supply decreases, which raises interest rate, which decreases investment, which, in turn, decreases GDP by a multiple amount of the change in investment.
		Although policy changes can be implemented rapidly (short administrative lag), there is a lag of at least 3 to 6 months before the changes will have their full impact.

		If monetary policy does not react, the current account responds by turning positive as the foreign debt is paid off, now with a high shadow cost because of the binding collateral constraint.
		This suggests that experience with the effects of policy actions in economies in `normal times', when collateral constraints are not binding, may have little relevance for predicting the effects of these actions in economies in `crisis times', when collateral constraints are binding.

	Monetary Policy Shocks in an Economy with Segmented Markets
		After a contractionary monetary policy shock, aggregate output decreases over time with a trough after a year and a half, while the real interest rate increases immediately, and remains high for about three quarters.
		I study an endowment economy with segmented markets, where, as in the U.S. economy, monetary policy is set in terms of a short-term nominal interest rate, and I show that the real interest rate increases sizeably for up to one year.
		The more segmented are markets, the stronger and more persistent are the effects of monetary policy shocks, and the higher is the serial correlation of the processes for the money growth rate and the real interest rate.

	Monetary policy and exchange market pressure: can monetary policy stabilize the exchange rate?
		This paper examines whether contractionary monetary policy reduced or increased exchange market pressure (EMP) in the Philippines in the 1990s.
		A decline in domestic credit growth and higher interest rates tend to raise EMP which implies that interest policy cannot be relied upon to reduce EMP or stabilize the exchange rate.
		Further study of the relative importance of factors such as credit and interest rates is recommended to enable authorities to pursue effective monetary policies.

		The Fed has three tools that it uses to conduct monetary policy by directly changing the level of excess reserves (ER) held by banks: (1) changes in banks' required reserves; (2) changes in the volume of discount loans to banks; (3) open-market operations.
