Do central banks affect Tobin's q? | ||
in International Review of Economics and Finance , Volume 22, Issue 1 , 2012 , 1-10 | ||
Previous work has documented inflation effects on Tobin's q in the long run. This paper examines whether the FED's different policies and chairmen tenure have an impact on Tobin's q, after a modified stylized AD-AS model shows that central banks affect q. We do find changing responses of q depending on the pre-Volcker and post-Volcker periods. | ||
