Abstract
The objective of this manuscript is study the linkages between the structure of the financial system and monetary policy. In contrast to previous studies with money, the stucture of the financial system is endogenously determined and depends on economic conditions. I show that as economies become more market oriented, it is optimal to set lower inflation targets in order to improve risk sharing that gets distorted by higher stock market participation. Furthermore, I demonstrate that the optimal financial structure depends on the value of money. In particular, it is optimal to promote participation in equity markets when inflation is low - hence to have a market-oriented system. However, when inflation is high, it is optimal to allow banks to play a bigger role in the economy relative to financial markets.
