Research proposes ‘Monk’ model of long-term monetary transmission - Central Banking
Equilibrium in standard models only affected by short rates, say Garriga, Kydland and Šustek
www.centralbanking.com
Interestingly, our analysis at the time indicated potential pathways for a soft landing following monetary policy tightening, contrasting with typical Keynesian recessionary outcomes.
This novel framework proposed that long-term interest rates, shaped by persistent monetary policy expectations, are crucial for economic equilibrium, a departure from the traditional focus solely on short-term rates.
Revisiting my work with Finn Kydland (2004 Nobel Laureate with Ed Prescott) and Roman Šustek , summarized in 2019 by Central Banking, which introduced the "MoNK" model for analyzing long-term monetary transmission.

Nowadays, one could include three-dimensional figures such as political spheres, financial pyramids, and block perspectives.
