Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the Journal of Risk and Financial Management will enhance our understanding of the dynamic links between monetary policy, financial markets, and business decision-making. Monetary policy—through interest rate adjustments, quantitative easing, forward guidance, or balance sheet operations—fundamentally shapes the financial environment in which firms operate. These policies affect asset prices, credit conditions, risk-taking incentives, investment decisions, and broader corporate financial strategies. At the same time, financial market developments and firm behavior can amplify, mitigate, or transmit the effects of monetary policy across the economy.
We invite high-quality theoretical and empirical contributions that examine these interdependencies using innovative methodologies, rich datasets, and rigorous identification strategies. Submissions may explore how monetary policy influences firm financing, capital structure, investment, employment, risk management, or payout policies; how monetary policy affects various asset markets, such as equities, fixed income, real estate, and cryptocurrencies; how financial intermediaries and market structures shape policy transmission; and how firm-level heterogeneity affects the effectiveness of monetary policy. Studies on unconventional policy tools, macro-financial linkages, and international spillovers are also highly encouraged.
Our goal is to foster research that provides fresh insights into the evolving landscape of monetary policy and its implications for financial stability, market dynamics, and firm-level outcomes.
Dr. Wendy Wu
