摘要
Uncertainty at the firm-level falls on FOMC announcement days with substantial variation both across firms and over time. We find that this is not related to commonly used measures of monetary policy shocks which capture surprises about the expected path of the policy rate. Rather it is driven by changes in uncertainty around the expected path of the policy rate. This effect is attenuated for firms that have higher growth opportunities (as measured by Tobin's Q).(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
