• Unregulated Lending, Mortgage Regulations and Monetary Policy

  Staff Working Paper 2022-28 Ugochi Emenogu, Brian Peterson

  This paper evaluates the effectiveness of macroprudential policies when regulations are uneven across mortgage lender types. We look at credit tightening that results from macroprudential regulations and examine how much of it is counteracted by credit shifting to unregulated lenders. We also study the impact of monetary policy tightening when some lenders are unregulated.
