Unconventional Monetary Policy and Asset Price Risk

Abstract: We examine the effects of unconventional monetary policy (UMP) events in the United States on asset price risk using risk-neutral density functions estimated from options prices. Based on an event study including a key exchange rate, an equity index, and five commodities, we find that "tail risk" diminishes in the immediate aftermath of UMP events, particularly downside left tail risk. We also find that QE1 and QE3 had stronger effects than QE2. We conclude that UMP events that serve to ease policies can help … Show more

“…Table 6 reveals that for banks of high level of deposit funding, that is banks in the subsample 12 Thus, banks of high level of asset diversification would not be statistically affected by UMP as those banks rely on non-interest related assets. As previously discussed in the hypotheses section, UMPs could restore market uncertainty (Bekaert et al, 2013;Roache and Rousset, 2013) and increase asset prices (Gambacorta et al, 2014). Any positive effect of UMP on asset values could also be explained by the portfolio rebalancing theory (Tobin, 1963;Vayanos and Vila, 2009).…”

“…By definition unconventional monetary policies are policies not generally undertaken by central banks and may differ depending on institutional arrangements within a country. These policies, which are broad ranging and meant to ease financial conditions (Smaghi, 2009), include (but not limited to) keeping interest rates near zero, purchasing long-term government securities and risky assets, impacting market long-term expectations, and trying to facilitate bank lending (Lambert & Ueda, 2014;Roache & Rousset, 2013;Smaghi, 2009).…”
