Unconventional monetary policy in an econometric SFC model of the French economy: some lessons for financing the low carbon transition

An econometric SFC model of the French economy is presented. The structure of the model is analogous to that of already existing national-level SFC models. The dynamic
simulations on the past over the period 1996-2019 provide acceptable results. In a second part the effects of unconventional monetary policy are evaluated such as the distribution of
helicopter money in favor of the government to finance additional public investment or social
transfers and the partial cancellation of the public debt held by the central bank.
