Abstract
The bond market serves dual roles in fiscal and financial spheres, playing a crucial role in coordinating monetary policy. This paper investigates the impact of quantitative and price-based monetary policies on the liquidity level of China’s bond market. A comprehensive index measuring the liquidity of the local bond market is constructed using a combination weighting method that integrates the entropy method and the coefficient of variation. Employing the time-varying stochastic volatility structure vector autoregression (TVP-SV-SVAR) model on data spanning from 2013 to 2021, the study empirically compares the impulse response of local bond market liquidity to monetary policy shocks. Findings reveal that both types of monetary policy operations exhibit asymmetric, nonlinear, and time-varying impacts on bond market liquidity. Quantitative monetary instruments induce deeper impulse responses, with longer-lasting effects. These conclusions offer insights for monetary policy reforms and bond market development in China.
