Adra, S., Gao, Y. and Yuan, J. orcid.org/0009-0000-9914-0561 (2024) Local policy uncertainty and the firm's investment reaction to monetary policy. Economics Letters, 234. 111473. ISSN 0165-1765
Abstract
Rising local economic policy uncertainty increases the firm's capital investment sensitivity to monetary shocks. This effect is driven by the tendency of uncertainty-driven precautionary behavior to increase the firm's propensity to reduce investment in response to contractionary monetary shocks. This effect is more pronounced for geographically bound firms that are financially constrained. Our results show how the investment effects of local economic policy uncertainty are entangled with the asymmetries that govern the economic impact of monetary policy.
