Investor heterogeneity and large-scale asset purchases

We quantify both the direct and the portfolio re-balancing impact,

Key Points: 
    • We quantify both the direct and the portfolio re-balancing impact,
      emphasizing the role of investor heterogeneity.
    • By purchasing large quantities of assets, the central banks aim to affect asset prices
      throughout the economy.
    • In this paper, we set out to deal with these challenges and to quantify both the direct
      and indirect effects of large-scale asset purchases.
    • In this paper, we set out to deal with these challenges and to quantify both the direct
      and indirect effects of large-scale asset purchases.
    • In the first part of the paper, we assess the importance of investor heterogeneity for
      the direct effects of central bank purchases.
    • Large-scale asset purchases are isomorphic to
      negative changes in supply, as they effectively reduce the supply of bonds available to private
      investors in the market.
    • We weigh the estimates by the portfolio composition (number of
      securities held) of the respective asset types for the average fund.

      price of one security depends on the slope of the demand curve for that asset.

    • However, in our setting, supply changes are not
      necessarily randomly allocated, as purchases could be correlated with asset characteristics.
    • To address this challenge, we isolate a random component of purchases and, with that,
      estimate the price elasticity of each type of investor.
    • For each investor type, we regress
      the security holdings on that security?s yield, instrumenting the yield with ECB purchases.
    • Given the estimated investor elasticities, we construct a security-level measure of the
      price elasticity of the investor base.
    • To address this concern, we exploit quasi-exogenous cross-sectional variation in
      investor base composition across securities, measuring the share held by each investor type
      prior to the announcement and implementation of asset purchases.
    • With this measure, we can finally test how investor composition affects the direct impact of
      central bank purchases.
    • In
      this part of the analysis, we focus on mutual funds, one investor type we estimated to be
      elastic.
    • This insight can help assess the calibration and targeting of asset purchase programs by central banks based on their objective
      function.
    • This paper relates to several strands of literature on unconventional monetary policy, intermediary and demand-system asset pricing.
    • First, we relate to the literature on large-scale asset purchases in the Euro Area, studying announcement effects of purchases (Andrade et al.
    • We contribute to
      this literature by estimating spillover effects on assets that are not eligible for central bank
      purchases while emphasizing the role of investor heterogeneity and developing a novel identification methodology.
    • Our contribution to this literature is to analyze the role of investors?
      preferences for the propagation of large scale asset purchases.
    • Then the aggregate demand curve for the asset is

      Direct effects and investor heterogeneity

      In this section we study the following research question: do effects of asset purchases depend
      on investor composition?

    • In order to answer this question, we test how purchases affect yields and how these effects
      vary as investor composition changes.
    • Third, we measure investor composition by exploiting
      quasi-random variation in ex-ante investor composition.
    • In the next section we will investigate how this
      security-level heterogeneity in investor composition matters for the effects of asset purchases.

      Demand elasticities of investors

      In this section we investigate how different investor types react to Large Scale Asset Purchases
      (LSAPs).

    • In section 4 we estimated heterogeneity in elasticity across investor types based on how
      price-elastic they were to ECB purchases.
    • These results are in line with Table 3,
      where we estimate heterogeneity in elasticity across investor types.
    • To measure investor composition base heterogeneity we construct

      Conclusion

      In this paper, we examine the role of investor heterogeneity for both direct and indirect
