Abstract

This paper examines the effects of Japanese monetary policy on individual firm's stock returns. Our objective is to test whether the firm-specific characteristics associated with the theories of monetary transmission mechanism can account for the heterogeneous responses of individual stock returns. We find that a 1% surprise cut in the call rate target increase stock returns by 3% for the firms with average values of all firm-specific variables, but that this effect is significantly larger for the firms with high capital intensity, low openness, high leverage, high interest payment burden, and low working capital.
