Monetary Policy When the Central Bank Shapes Financial-Market Sentiment
Kashyap, Anil K.; Stein, Jeremy C. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
Recent research has found that monetary policy works in part by influencing the risk premiums on both traded financial-market securities and intermediated loans. Research has also shown that when risk premiums are compressed, there is an increased likelihood of a reversal that damages the...

Sticky Discount Rates
Fukui, Masao; Gormsen, Niels; Huber, Kilian - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
We show that firms' nominal required returns to capital (i.e., their discount rates) are sticky with respect to expected inflation. Such nominally sticky discount rates imply that increases in expected inflation directly lower firms' real discount rates and thereby raise real investment. We...

Boehm, Christoph E.; Kroner, T. Niklas - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
Existing high-frequency monetary policy shocks explain surprisingly little variation in stock prices and exchange rates around FOMC announcements. Further, both of these asset classes display heightened volatility relative to non-announcement times. We use a heteroskedasticity-based procedure to...

Monetary Policy Wedges and the Long-term Liabilities of Households and Firms
Binsbergen, Jules H. van; Grotteria, Marco - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
We examine the transmission of monetary policy shocks to the long-duration liabilities of households and firms using high-frequency variation in 10-year swap rates around FOMC announcements. We find that four weeks after the announcement mortgage rates move one-for-one with 10-year swap rates,...

A Monetary Policy Asset Pricing Model
Caballero, Ricardo J.; Simsek, Alp - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We propose a model where monetary policy is the key determinant of aggregate asset prices (financial conditions). Spending decisions are made by a group of agents ("households") that respond to aggregate asset prices, but with noise, delays, and inertia. Asset pricing is determined by a...

Corporate Discount Rates
Gormsen, Niels; Huber, Kilian - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
Standard theory implies that the discount rates used by firms in investment decisions (i.e., their required returns to capital) determine investment and transmit financial shocks to the real economy. However, there exists little evidence on how firms' discount rates change over time and affect...
