our economy, houses provide housing services to consumers and serve as collateral to lower borrowing

investment, house prices and consumption.We also consider the effect of a structural change in credit
markets that lowers the transaction costs of additional borrowing against housing equity. We show
that such a change would increase the effect of monetary policy shocks on consumption, but would
decrease the effect on house prices and housing investment.
