We investigate whether forward guidance and large scale asset purchases are effective in steering economic expectations in the USA. Using the series of monetary policy shocks recovered in Swanson (J Monet Econ 118:32-53, 2021), local projections, and an algorithm to select the best empirical model, we show that unconventional monetary policies are effective in tilting economic expectations in a direction consistent with central bankers' will. Our empirical findings provide two more insights: responses to LSAP shocks are stronger than those following a FG shock; responses to contractionary LSAP shocks are larger as compared to those stemming from expansionary ones.

Stock markets are generally perceived as a barometer of the economy and respond to international monetary policies even before economic activities. Many central banks have turned to unconventional policy measures in response to various financial crises such as the global financial crisis of 2007-2009 or the recent crisis caused by COVID-19. To examine the cross-correlation of overall international monetary policies with stock markets, we employ the daily shadow short rate (SSR), which has the advantage of allowing comparison across unconventional and conventional regimes.

Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for two-thirds of employment in the euro area which makes them a priority for the transmission of monetary policy to the real economy. SMEs in Europe experienced a credit crunch following the sovereign debt crisis. Over the period 2014-2019, the European Central Bank (ECB) engaged in unconventional monetary policy (UMP) to restore funding conditions in the euro area, to support stronger economic growth and higher inflation.

We examine the interconnections and spillovers of G10 currencies over the period from January 1, 2018 to June 17, 2021. We find that the Euro and Australian dollar serve as risk transmitters whereas the Japanese yen operates as a risk recipient.
