IS BIGGER MORE EFFECTIVE? SHOCK SIZE AND THE EFFICACY OF MONETARY POLICY
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 June 2021
Abstract
This study empirically examines whether shock size matters for the US monetary policy effects. Using a nonlinear local projection method, I find that large monetary policy shocks are less powerful than smaller monetary policy shocks, with the information effect being the potential source of the observed asymmetry in monetary policy efficacy.
