Abstract

This paper provides the first investigation of the exogenous monetary shocks’ impact on the IPO market by using a high-frequency identification strategy. Contractionary shocks in the conventional sense trigger a decline in IPO activity. In contrast, contractionary shocks that convey positive economic information trigger a rise in IPO activity. Separating conventional monetary shocks from central bank information shocks allows a richer assessment of the monetary policy’s influence on the IPO market.
