摘要
This paper investigates how economic uncertainty affects the monetary policy-bank risk nexus. Using panel data on approximately 1100 public banks in 43 economies during the period of 2000-2018, we find consistent evidence that the "risk-taking channel" of mone-tary policy is weakened amid higher economic uncertainty. This finding is in line with the "option value of waiting" hypothesis, which suggests that economic uncertainty may induce banks to withhold their adjustments of risk-taking strategies when monetary policy is altered.(c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
