Public interventions in asset markets (C02)

• Subject Area: Economic Policy, Applied Economics
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 326731373

We study monetary policy interventions in the context of heterogeneity of firms and households. The project develops new empirical strategies to understand the role of price distortions, mark-ups and marginal costs in driving price trends. We also aim at a better understanding of the effects of conventional and unconventional monetary policy on asset markets and, in the face of heterogeneous portfolios, on the wealth distribution.
