Abstract
Abstract Conventional monetary policy has been shown to create differential impacts on industry output. This paper looks at unconventional monetary policy to see its differential impacts on industries in the United States. Identification is achieved with zero and sign restrictions within a structural global vector autoregressive framework. The effects of unconventional monetary policy on output have substantial heterogeneity across industries. Furthermore, the effects on output and monetary policy transmission mechanisms are qualitatively similar to that of conventional monetary policy previously reported in the literature. These findings suggest a substitutability between conventional and unconventional monetary policies. Importantly, policymakers can use unconventional monetary policy and be reassured that impacts on specific industries are similar to those using conventional monetary policy.
