These studies typically relate stock returns to measures of monetary policy stringency in the context of single equation specifications and/or multivariate Vector Autoregressions.In this paper we ta
3、ke a closer look at the impact of monetary policy on stock returns by utilising thirty years of data across thirteen OECD countries. Given the considerable debate on the relative merits of money aggregates during the late 1970s and early 1980s, we adopt the nowadays standard approach of measuring mo
4、netary policy using interest rate variables. We expand previous work by examining the sensitivity of our findings to the inclusion of dividend payments in the stock returns calculation, while considering both nominal and real returns. Our results indicate that for the majority of the countries under
5、 investigation the monetary environment is an important determinant of investors required returns. We also examine the contemporaneous effect of monetary policy on stock returns taking into account the non-normality typically inherent in such data as well as the significant co-movement of internatio

The implications of such findings for monetary policy making and investor portfolio formation are highly important.Central bankers and stock market particip
7、ants should be aware of the relationship between monetary policy and stock market performance in order to better understand the effects of policy shifts. Monetary authorities in particular face the dilemma of whether to react to stock price movements, above and beyond the standard response to inflat
8、ion and output developments. There is an ongoing debate in the monetary policy rules literature between the proactive and reactive approach. On the one hand, the proactive view advocates that monetary policymakers should alter interest rates in response to developing stock price bubbles in order to
9、reduce overall macroeconomic volatility . On the other hand, according to the reactive approach, monetary authorities should wait and see whether the stock price reversal occurs, and if it does, to react accordingly to the extent that there are implications for inflation and output stability. Hence,
10、 the reactive approach is consistent with an accommodative expost response to stock price changes . Despite the difference in the timing of the reaction, both approaches effectively assume that the monetary authorities can affect stock market value. It is apparent then, that the empirical verificati

The next section discusses the theoretical framework underlying the relationship between monetary policy and the stock market. The present value or discounted cash flow model offers use
12、ful insights on the stock market effects of monetary policy changes. According to this widely used model the stock price is the present value of expected future dividends . Thorbecke (1997) employs a number of alternative methodologies to examine the relationship between monetary policy and stock pr

Using a VAR system that includes monthly equity returns, output growth, inflation, and the federal funds rate, he finds that monetary policy shocks, measured by orthogonalized innovations in the federal funds rate, have a greater impact on smaller capitalisation stocks, th

In the same paper, Thorbecke (1997) adopts the Boschen and Mills (1995) index as an alternative measure of monetary policy conditions. In line with his VAR estimates, he finds that
15、 expansionary monetary policy exerts a large and statistically significant positive effect on monthly stock returns. In a recent study, Cassola and Morana (2004) also employ the VAR methodology. In particular, they use a cointegrated VAR system including real GDP, inflation, real M3 balances, short

Their results from impulse response analysis indicate that a permanent positive monetary shock has a temporary positive effect on real stock prices. Patelis (1997
