Abstract

This paper explores the asymmetric effects of unconventional monetary policy on corporate investment in the aftermath of the Great Recession. Using a comprehensive dataset of US listed firms, our research unveils a compelling insight: firms with higher investment irreversibility and market power are less responsive to fluctuations in corporate bond yields following an unconventional monetary policy announcement. These results emphasize the critical importance of taking into consideration firm-specific characteristics when formulating monetary policy, providing valuable insights for central banks aiming to enhance the effectiveness of their policies.
