文章摘要：This paper examines the impact of large-scale asset purchases (LSAPs) on corporate financing and investment. I find that LSAPs increased corporate financing relative to the pre-LSAP crisis period and shifted the corporate financing pattern towards greater equity financing. Specifically, LSAPs enabled noninvestment-grade firms to issue more public equity, and allowed investment-grade firms to issue more bonds. After raising capital, public equity issuers used the proceeds to avoid bankruptcy, whereas debt issuers used the funds to expand their businesses. Therefore, unlike traditional monetary policy tools that affect bank lending, LSAPs stimulate the real economy by spurring the stock and bond markets and thereby providing firms with alternative sources of financing.
