Overview
This paper uses Swedish individual-level registry data to study the heterogeneous income effects of monetary policy shocks. The main purpose of the project is to document how the individual-level income effects of monetary policy shocks depend on an individual’s position in the income distribution. Hence, the findings of the project have implications for macroeconomic modelling as well as for policy-related issues regarding the distributional effects of monetary policy.
