| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, central banks around the world have experimented with various forms of Unconventional Monetary Policies. However, our understanding about their effects is still limited. This project studies how the effects of Quantitative Easing (QE) Policies are transmitted to the private economy through the financial system. To that end, I construct a panel data set based on individual Japanese banks' financial statements. I econometrically estimate how an expansion of the supply of excess reserves by the Bank of Japan affects each bank's asset choices, including lending. I find that, under the QE in the first half of the 2000s, such a policy had a stimulating impact on bank loans, though the effect was small, quantitatively. In contrast, under the Quantitative and Qualitative Easing since 2013, similar effects were not found. At the same time, the study points out a possibility that the policy has worked through influencing private banks' holdings of the Japanese Government Bonds.
