Show me the money: The monetary policy risk premium

Abstract: We study how monetary policy affects the cross-section of expected stock returns. For this purpose, we create a parsimonious monetary policy exposure (MPE) index based on observable firm characteristics that are theoretically linked to how firms react to monetary policy. We find that stocks whose prices react more positively to expansionary monetary policy surprises earn lower average returns. This finding is consistent with the intuition that monetary policy is expansionary in bad economic times when the marg… Show more

“…Ammer et al (2018) explore a specific case of search for yield on foreign investment in riskier US corporate bonds. 24 Evidence of monetary policy affecting risk premiums has been found in many studies (see Section 4 or, for example, Drechsler et al, 2018;Ireland, 2015;Ozdagli & Velikov, 2020). 25 A few notable examples in this respect are Bank of England (Burgess et al, 2013), Bank of Canada (Bank of Canada, 2020), and Sveriges Riksbank (Riksbank, 2018a), which support their main forecasting models with complementary satellite models, empirical models, and semi-structural models.…”

“…Several important papers show that the policy uncertainty based on news affects financial markets and stock prices (Baker et al, 2016;Brogaard & Detzel, 2015;Pastor & Veronesi, 2013). Moreover, both academic studies and investors agree that stock prices are significantly driven by monetary policy, and then respond differently in the crosssection (Bernanke & Kuttner, 2005;Nielsen & Bender, 2010;Ozdagli & Velikov, 2020). However, how monetary policy uncertainty (MPU) based on news affects the investors' optimal investment decisions and then stock prices in the cross-section, little empirical research has been done.…”

“…Thus, when acquiring a risky financial asset (e.g., a stock or the portfolio of stocks), an investor expects excess return compared to a risk-free financial asset, i.e., the risk premium (e.g., Prat, 2013;DaSilva et al, 2019;Bamata et al, 2019;Petru et al, 2019). Thus, the monetary policy effect on the stock market's return occurs through the effect on the interest rate (risk-free) and/or risk premium (Ozdagli & Velikov, 2020). At the same time, the risk premium can be divided into several components, and the study can be performed to determine the channels that make monetary policy information signals have the most significant effect on the stock market return.…”
