studied the impact of monetary policy on unemployment rate and argued that oil price shocks increases the vulnerability of the monetary policy errors, especially when monetary authorities try to control the inflation brought by the increasing oil prices by adopting deflationary monetary policy (increasing the interest rates). The increase in interest rate further slows down the growth and nominal GDP. In such situations downward sticky wage rates would contribute further in the reduction of productivity. Thus unemployment rate would rise; consumer consumption rate would fall, resulting in the further slowdown of the GDP growth than the actual oil price rise. Similarly, high interest rate would stimulate further increase in the savings and reduction in investments because of the uncertainty associated with the aggregate demand and productivity.
