JMP: Monetary policy and the firm-level labor share - A story about capital (with A. R. Matzner) - earlier version available as ECB Working Paper
Abstract: We study the heterogeneous monetary policy pass-through across firms with different labor shares. Using a panel of over two million European firms, we document substantial heterogeneity in investment responses: following monetary tightening, the fixed capital stock of high labor share firms declines relative to that of low labor share firms. These differential responses are accompanied by a relative contraction in long-term debt and profitability among high labor share firms. Our findings cannot be explained by alternative proxies for financial constraints. We provide evidence consistent with a bank-lending channel and argue that the labor share captures a cash flow-based borrowing constraint.
