Model the effects of a 100bp BoC rate increase on employment and growth.

Details

Epoch: 114

Domain: monetary_policy

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $38.26B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): -$823.81B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • −$858.00B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via interest_rate
  • +$18.60B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via interest_rate
  • +$7.18B → transfers_to_persons (Major Transfers to Persons) via unemployment_rate
  • +$7.02B → federal_budget_balance (Federal Budget Balance) via federal_fiscal_framework

Variable changes

  • interest_rate: {"new": 4.5, "old": 0.0}

Proposed policy move

interest_rate: 0 → 4.5 (▲ 4.5)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
