Fabien Labondance et al., « Central Bank sentiment and policy expectations », HAL SHS (Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société), ID : 10670/1.c008de...
We explore empirically the theoretical prediction that optimism or pessimism have aggregate effects,in the context of monetary policy. First, we quantify the tone conveyed by FOMC policymakers in theirstatements using computational linguistics. Second, we identify sentiment as the unpredictablecomponent of tone, orthogonal to fundamentals, expectations, monetary shocks and investors’ sentiment.Third, we estimate the impact of FOMC sentiment on the term structure of private interest rateexpectations using a high-frequency methodology and an ARCH model. Optimistic FOMC sentimentincreases policy expectations primarily at the one-year maturity. We also find that sentiment affectsinflation and industrial production beyond monetary shocks.
