Abstract: The paper investigates whether the effects of monetary policy on firm investment can be transmitted through leverage. The findings indicate that monetary contractions reduce investment for highly leveraged firms. The estimates imply that a 1 percentage point tightening of liquidity reduces investment by 0.4% through leverage.
