Monetary rules and stock market value

Article Abstract:

A study investigated the influence of monetary policy on equity dividends. It was demonstrated that the stock market response relies on the intertemporal elasticity of substitution of investors and on parameters of the real growth process. Furthermore, by altering money supply in response to real conditions, a monetary authority can influence both the average level and the volatility of future real equity dividends. Thus, monetary rules targeting a specific nominal variable can have ramifications for aggregate wealth and for the real sector.
