“Unconventional Monetary Policy and Firm Performance: Evidence from Japan”
How the monetary policy affects firm performance is a classic question relevant for monetary authorities to understand the impact of their policy actions on the real economy. In this paper, we utilize the Comprehensive Monetary Easing (CME) policy introduced by Bank of Japan in Oct 2010 as a quasi-natural experiment to evaluate how the firms’ performance changes in response to the policy and its working mechanism. This exogenous and unexpected deviation of monetary policy from its systematic rule helps us to identify the bank lending channel of monetary policy. The empirical analysis on a unique data covering 3.7 million of SMEs in Japan reveals that facing increasing liquidity brought about by the recent unconventional monetary easing, the banks are willing to take more risks, which helps to moderate SEMs’ financial constraints and improve SMEs’ performance.
