Using firm-level data from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys (WBES) and a newly constructed database of monetary policy changes, we employ an event study approach to analyze how managers adjust their expectations of credit access in the days following a policy intervention. We complement this with a broader analysis of how annual policy rate changes affect firms’ credit applications. Our results show that firms perceive credit access as more restrictive after a policy rate hike, but do not significantly reduce their credit applications. Instead, credit demand increases after a rate cut, highlighting an asymmetric response to monetary policy. We also find substantial heterogeneity, with firms’ sensitivity depending not only on their proximity to banks, but also on the degree of liquidity of the banking market and the degree of independence of the central bank. These results provide new insights into the transmission of monetary policy in developing countries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48389,"journal":{"name":"European Economic Review","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 105102"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144654048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because depositors can use zero-interest cash as an alternative store of value, the effect of permanent rate cuts qualitatively changes once in NIR territory.

Income inequality, sustained by unequal privileges to private education and parental networking in the absence of a credit market, interacts with these added features. These interactions theoretically link four seemingly unrelated global trends: increased capital share in production due to automation, rising income inequality, slower knowledge diffusion, and declining productivity growth, offering new insights into growth- and welfare-enhancing redistributive policies. Automation, reflected in the growing importance of physical capital in production, and capital-ownership concentration worsen unequal educational opportunities and, in turn, income inequality, which slows productivity growth through two underexplored channels. First, we provide empirical support for the idea that higher inequality hampers knowledge diffusion to lower the economy’s social knowledge stock, thereby hindering children’s learning from the existing know-how through the knowledge externality channel. Second, greater heterogeneity in knowledge absorption due to more unequal access to education reduces average human capital accumulation because of diminishing returns to investment. Progressive redistribution helps counteract these adverse effects, pushing the economy’s productivity frontier outward, especially for countries with lower social cohesion, going beyond Bénabou’s (2022) finding of reduced resource misallocation. Optimal redistribution balances these benefits against potential distortions to labor supply and savings. Simulations using OECD data show sizable gains in output, aggregate efficiency (as defined in Bénabou, 2022), and welfare from moving towards optimal redistributive rates, though with varying effects across countries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48389,"journal":{"name":"European Economic Review","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 105096"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144633510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To study this question, we develop a Schumpeterian model in which wealth heterogeneity influences the effects of tax policy. The key mechanism is that a change in consumption dispersion across heterogeneous households due to a change in labor income taxation can cause a novel positive effect on the employment of poor households in addition to the usual negative effect on the employment of rich households. Together, these effects yield an overall ambiguous response of employment to labor income taxation. A negative (positive) change of employment causes a negative (positive) change of innovation-driven growth in the short run and also a negative (positive) change of the real interest rate. Consequently, labor income taxation has an ambiguous effect on income inequality (e.g., asset income falls while labor income may rise) but unambiguously increases consumption inequality by reducing disposable wage income even for households that work more. Therefore, the effects on income inequality and consumption inequality are drastically different. We calibrate the model to examine its quantitative implications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48389,"journal":{"name":"European Economic Review","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 105071"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144535016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Second, since innovation is skewed toward exporters, competition in export markets could have innovation consequences.
