Abstract

The idea that the effectiveness of monetary policy measures may depend on the state of the economy
is examined for four Asian economies using a generalized Hamilton Markov switching model of output due
to Garcia and Schaller (2002). The null hypothesis of symmetry is rejected for these economies and monetary
policy is seen to have larger effects during downturns than during upswings.
