Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary We document five facts about the distributional income effects of monetary policy shocks using Swedish administrative individual-level data. (i) The effects of monetary policy shocks are U-shaped over the income distribution—i.e., expansionary shocks increase the incomes of high- and low-income individuals relative to middle-income individuals. (ii) The large effects in the bottom are accounted for by the labor-income response and (iii) those in the top by the capital-income response. (iv) The heterogeneity in the labor-income response is due to the earnings heterogeneity channel, whereas (v) that in the capital-income response is due to the income composition channel.

Most data used in this project are restricted-access data from population registers kept by Statistics Sweden. These data can only be obtained by researchers affiliated with accredited research institutions in Sweden and are therefore not provided here. Please see the Readme file for more information on how to access these data.

This deposit therefore only includes such data that we are allowed to share, which is mainly data from publicly accessible sources. The deposit does, however, include all Stata and Matlab codes used in the analysis (i.e., also codes used for analyzing the restricted-access data).
